Once owned by a gypsy, these 2 boys have been to hell and survived. They are looking for a special person to give them a forever home together.
Sancho has the worst scars. Hung and burned with cigarettes, he also has a depressed fracture of the skull where his head was stamped on. Yet he still has love in him, to give to someone, in exchange for kindness and security. Luis probably came from a racetrack. Eventually they were abandoned.

A problem has developed in the feet of my galga. My vet thinks it could be an allergy problem but, as she is one of the hundreds to come out of Spain whose history is unknown, we don’t know if she has suffered this problem before.
I would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem, the diagnosis and treatment.

APAH are very active in trying to improve life for abandoned animals in their area, especially for the hunting dogs. This is what they say on their website.
“Hunting is a very popular pastime in this area and while some owners care for their dogs the majority do not.
The Pointers and Greyhounds that end up with us have often been badly ill-treated with burns over their bodies, chains embedded into their necks and that is before they have been abandoned with no food or water in a strange area and left to fend for themselves.
Matilda is now in the safe hands of Greyhounds Rescue Holland
What did she do wrong to be abandoned in this condition – apart from being born a galga in Spain.
