    A message for Galgueros and Politicians from Galgos 112 after betraying the Spanish hunting dogs that they are not protected by the new law.

    Look into their eyes, especially you inept politicians who have left them lying around and abandoned like cigarette butts.
    To the Galgueros we tell them not to even approach them, to ask these soulless sub-human beings to look into the eyes of the dogs that they mistreat so much and would cause yet more pain to the poor dogs by their abandonment.

    GRA abused podenco vet 1 400 2 4 2023
    Last week’s news from Galgos Rescue Almeria about the abused podenca now safely in their care.

    ‘We had an appointment with Tracy at the traumatologist, originally just to take X-rays, but given the severity of the fracture, it was necessary to do the surgery immediately. She then went to our fosterers until her next check up.

    Second visit to the vet with Tracy. Her wound had to be checked and cleaned, also her bandage was renewed. Everything looked very well. Yet no running/ playing for this young lady.

    The vet fees are enormous, please donate to help heal Tracy. Details on this weblink.

  • Podenco Ibicenco Timo – looking for a special forever home

    Bev Timo 400 3 2023
    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    ‘Timo … I need your help to find him his forever sofa

    He has been with us for a long time ..years, he was adopted twice once to the UK (it didnt work out for him ). Then later to Spain but a change of circumstances with his family meant he came back ..

    To be honest I kind of lost my confidence about rehoming him I was worried it wouldnt work out for him and whilst at the finca he had a great life, plenty of dogs for him to play with lots of space to run around .. But when I had my accident last summer which I didnt make a big fuss about, but I was struggling and needed crutches to walk for some time. When I moved from the finca I wasnt able to walk him, so I had to put him into a residence where he has been there for some months.

  • Podenca Dana with Galgos 112 – recuperating from her operation

    Galgos 112 Dana 1 400 3 2023
    Galgos 112 also sometimes get a podenco needing help. Introducing Dana.

    ‘Dana has already been operated at @canisgirona, doctor Font tells us that everything has gone well and she will finally be able to walk without pain. Recall Dana was thrown like a bum for this knee injury. It was hard to find a home (it’s possible…) but thanks to a generous family from Girona (thanks) she has a foster home where she will be cared for and spoiled until her final family arrives.

    We have to ask for help, without your contributions it is impossible to afford these operations that are not cheap. If you can help we would appreciate it.’

  • Aabandoning your pet is NEVER justified – Protectora Scoob Medina

    From Protectora Scooby

    When is abandoning your pet justified?

    The answer is very simple: NEVER. A family member should never be dumped for no reasons and leaving them in a shelter is also ABANDONMENT.

    If you have an illness, you or someone close to you take them to a residence for temporary care.

    If the illness is serious and it’s going to prevent you from living with a pet, find a home from someone close to you so the separation is as less traumatic as possible.

    If you get pregnant, you do not have to leave your cat no matter how much doctors say there are ways to prevent toxoplasmosis, demand your doctor first to do an analysis for if you have antibodies, which is most likely and otherwise, to give you some tips for living with your cats, like getting another member of your family to clean the tray.
