Two new galgas recently arrived at Refugio Kimba in Chiclana, Cadiz.
They are QUEEN and LORA.
LORA is the dark tabby, she is incredibly elegant and beautiful and QUEEN is gorgeous and with a look that conveys a lot.
They come from Galguero, that hard life is already behind them, now everything that comes is good. Welcome princesses
A vestibular problem is more likely to manifest itself in older dogs. If you notice your dog’s behaviour changing – balance, head tilting – then this could be a possibility.

From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria
Volunteering for a charity fund raising is so important. Without funds we are unable to offer the full range of help and support the dogs need.
Ask yourselves this question “ would you miss one euro a month “? That euro lying around everywhere,…..In the current situation every euro counts to help the animals in our care, and that is why we have set up a teaming group. For that small regular amount you can be part of our ‘Team’ (Galgosrescuealmeria) and support those who need our help the most. We’re hoping that most of our supporters and followers will join forces to raise much needed funds. All we are asking is that you commit to just one euro a month. Please follow the link below to be a part of this fund raising group.
Remember in Teaming the important thing is not how much we give but with how many we are. Only together we can achieve more.
Refugio Kimba is the oldest animal shelter in Spain, down in Cadiz. Here’s a lucky new galgo safe at the shelter now after weeks on the street.
NEW RESCUE HERBIE
He was on the street for several weeks, he approached people but wouldn’t let himself be caught. Thanks to two people feeding him doing a routine and the team at SOS RESCUE, we were able to rescue him.
Hhe had some wounds on his back paws but they will heal soon.
Welcome to the family
For those of us who don’t live in Spain and experience the terrible problem of abandoned dogs, it’s hard to understand someone being so close to this beautiful galga and ignoring her – not taking her in to a place of safety!
From Irina.
SOS GALGUITA ABANDONED IN A TOWN OF TOLEDO.
People are giving her food because she seems to be always in the same spot, but as usual, she needs a foster to be able to rescue her.
I will write to ERA to see if they can put a trap cage but of course without a place for her to go it is impossible to rescue her.
Please, could any association help her? With the current heat she is in great danger of suffering a heat stroke or being hit by a car or even getting pregnant.
If anyone could foster her, write me an email and we’ll organize the rescue. They think it’s a female.
Thank you. irina.animalessinhogar@gmail.com

Over the years I’ve mentioned this association when they have taken on board the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs which the sub human hunters have tried to kill, without success, or have been unbelievably seriously injured on the roads. Here’s a story of just such another poor galga who, despite all her suffering at the hands of a hunter, still has the capacity to love,
And another story of the amazing work done by the Spanish volunteers to rescue and rehabilitate a poor galga left for dead.
A NEW MIRACLE CALLED RENEE. She was found half buried. As a consequence, her hind legs did not respond.
X-rays and other tests showed no injury to either her spine or her legs. But Renee couldn’t walk … Still we never gave up, and we set out to rehabilitate her paws and make her walk.
A miracle, an achievement of the entire team, and her enormous spirit of self-improvement have made Renee eventually walk. We can call it a miracle, because it certainly is. But it has also been the result of intense and hard work by her veterinarian Mariana and her physiotherapist Elena, who never threw in the towel, and by all of us who have always encouraged and helped her achieve it.
