The news on the Galga from Toledo was that she was rescued.

Her bleeding was because she had not been able to take out the after birth from having given birth. She also had kidney failure and she was hospitalised for six days. She is now going to her foster family, to be socialised.

Whoever had her hurt her tremendously, and she is terrified. Her four puppies are perfectly well, still in the hospital, and tube fed. They will shortly be going to two families for their foster care where they will start to be bottle fed every three hours

Thank you to Charl for this good news.

This is Camaron, he is in Jaen, a podenco which was found abandoned – left at night and he was totally desorientated, passing from one side to another.

He found his way to the door of a security guard office, and he stayed there all night without moving. Everywhere the guard went, the dog followed. He is very scared, and needs guidance so he is not alone.

He’s only about 8 months old. All tests negative. good with dogs and cats, sterilised, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and de-flead. He urgently needs to find a foster home or adoption, as I can’t keep him, I have so many other dogs.

Trancos is a delightful 3yr old podenco X who spent the first years of his life in Spain chained in a yard, in all weathers, summer and winter.

I find it very difficult to believe just how many galgas are used simply as breeding machines, producing a litter of pups every year. It also makes me very angry. There are too many galgos in Spain, without breeding more. And yet the authorities turn a blind eye.

Some of the bitches, after having been abandoned by the galguerros, end up living on scrub land, in caves, searching for food to produce the milk for their pups. One such bitch living in a cave with her pups was recently shot dead.

Jara is one bitch who survived, lucky to be found near a refuge and taken in by the volunteers.
