  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – Galga Eden makes progress

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    Video

    Eden has now come home. The blood transfusion did its job and she was strong enough to leave the clinic.

    She’s installed in her own private kennel, a fresh shower that she clearly enjoyed, a soft bed, plenty of food and fresh water and we’re already seeing a totally different Eden from the living dead one we picked up on last week. She still has a long way to go, but things can only get better from now on. The only way is UP.

    Please help with vet fees.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – the 4th arrival of 4 needing a blood transfusion

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    Meet Eden, the 4th one of the galgos saved last weekend.

    This girl was in such a terrible condition that we couldn’t leave her behind. We never saw in real something like this words aren’t enough this pictures make you speechless.

    In the clinic she was immediately given the first care. As we already suspected, Eden tested positive for one of the tick diseases ( Anaplasma ).This girl is so weak, dehydrated and anemic. An urgent blood transfusion was therefore necessary to give her any chance of survival. Amy, one of our very own galgos, donated blood to give this girl a chance to survive. Everything went well and Eden’s body has accepted the new blood very well.

    That is already a first step in her healing process that will take some time. We want to thank Helping Animals Almanzora for all the help/support so that Eden gets all the necessary care she needs now.

    Last weekend we visited the foster family who took in 3 of 4 rescued dogs. A blissful shower and a good meal can work wonders.
    Angel, Anna & Sofia are doing fine. Many thanks Raymond Faber & Ilse for the good care. More updates to follow.

    Any help/support remains welcome to pay their vet bills.

  • Spanish shelters – Zero killing

    Zero sacrifice 450 8 2022
    Great news. But that means even more dogs in shelters! Now Spain needs a law for compulsory neutering of dogs and cats and handcuffing the hunters for overbreeding.

  • Galgo Rayo for adoption – with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Sandy says

    ‘He arrived at our shelter on June 17th.

    Rayó is such a sweetheart of a dog, unfortunately this sweetie tested positive for Leishmania. If you watch this video you will see how playful, social, cheerful this boy is. Leishmania is not the end as long as it is kept under control with the right treatment, medication and regular blood tests, these darlings can get old too. Give dogs with Leishmania a chance at happiness, too.

  • Galgo puppies fighting the virus – with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Further update from Sandy Galgoslover.

    Video

    ‘Running a rescue center means to be available for the animals day and night. Past night was tuff, almost a sleepless night, as Iris’s little ones have moved to our living room for care. They get food every few hours and the necessary attention & cuddles. Yesterday morning we decided to take 2 more little ones to the vet, both girls didn’t ate/drank anymore.

    We could visit their brother, he seemed to be on the mend, but it’s way too early to say hurrah. He will have to keep fighting hard in the coming days. Mum Iris didn’t looked very well, still the same: no improvement and her eyes radiated sadness. It’s heartbreaking to see them like this, if only we could take over their pain and suffering.

    Any help/support will be needed to cover their medical expenses. More updates to follow.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – sick galga Mum Iris and also some of her puppies

    GRA poorly puppy 400 7 2022
    From Sandy Galgoslover.

    ‘Protecting animals against diseases, viruses, bacteria…at Rescue it’s a constant battle and especially in the summer season it becomes a real nightmare with the persistent heat.

    We’ve had to take galga mum Iris to the vet, 1 day of not eating can happen but 2 days ….. Iris is exhausted. The combination of childbirth, so many puppies to feed and the unbearable heat had become too much for her. She’s on an a drip to give her extra fluids and minerals as well as medication, painkillers, anti-vomiting meds and stomach protectors.

    We also had 1 of her little ones examined, unfortunately the little guy tested positive for Corona. He’s still so small and we wanted to take care of him at home but our vet advised us to do the treatment in the clinic and keep them there for observation.

    In the meantime, we have taken his sisters and brothers out of the quarantine zone and housed them in our home. So we can observe them constantly, they are still so small and have to do without their mom.

    All help, support and prayers will be needed. Vet bill over 3,000 euros and growing!

  • Who will mourn me

    Who will mourn me 400 7 2021
    This was written for the thousands English and Irish greyhounds but it is just as appropriate for the hundreds of thousands of galgos who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of the bastard galgueros.

    IN MEMORY
    This weekend marks the anniversary when British commercial greyhound began in 1926. For 95 years greyhounds have been overbred and culled – cruelly abused and destroyed for the sake of a bet. Over one million greyhounds bred for British racing will have died at the hands of the murderous gambling industry. Please hold in your thoughts those innocent souls – many of whose fates were sealed once they were born a racing greyhound…..may they all rest gently in peace

  • How long to crate a dog?

    https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/crating-dogs/

    Article in The Guardian.

    One woman, Nina Torres, reckons it’s fine for most adult dogs to be in a crate “nine hours maximum” during the day (with a walk in the middle), and then eight hours at night.

    I cannot believe anyone would condone incarcerating a dog for most of the 24 hours of its life!! I’m with PETA!
