Galgos Rescue Almeria – end of a busy year
2025 is slowly closing its doors and making room for a new chapter: 2026.
The past year was one of ups and downs. We faced unexpected setbacks and intense emotions, but also countless beautiful moments, shared with the special dogs who crossed our path. It was a hectic year that flew by, yet one we look back on with warm and grateful hearts.
We think back to all the D-days: those unforgettable moments when our beloved dogs packed their bags to meet their new families. No fewer than 177 dogs found their happiness this year. A result we could only dream of, and one that was made possible thanks to our amazing partners: Associazione ZAC Odv , Un Levriero per la Vita, Project Galgo, Vegrennen EV, Simona Norkute (Lithuania), Helping Animals Almanzora, Friends of Mazarrón Animals, Stichting Wereldhonden, and of course you—our loyal supporters. By sharing their stories so widely, you helped give each of them a new future. (more…)

Galgo Project EU – looking for information from shelters
Galgo Project EU is a Dutch organisation dedicated to supporting, rescuing, and giving a voice to galgos and podencos. They work closely with Spanish shelters, help dogs find safe homes, and raise awareness about the structural mistreatment these dogs still suffer.
With Galgo Project EU, we’re gathering data, testimonies, and concrete evidence to build a detailed dossier for the European Parliament. Our goal is clear:
To hold Spain accountable for not applying Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty, and to push for equal, EU-wide protection of all dogs, including galgos and podencos, without exceptions. (more…)

Podenco Antonio hoping for an active forever home
Antonio Video
Antonio is a beautiful 2 year old Podenco male with a gentle disposition. Antonio was found on the streets of Fuerteventuras. Despite his past, he shows himself to be an extremely human, affectionate and friendly dog. Antonio is full of energy because of course he wants to seize the opportunity to show off on the chain when one finally comes by. The young male has a distinctive personality and needs both mental and physical exercise. Even when dealing with other dogs Antonio shows himself social and uncomplicated – a real treasure who just wants to belong. Now he only lacks one thing: a loving home where he can arrive and show what a wonderful companion he is. Who will give Antonio a chance at a new life full of love and security?If you fell in love with Antonio, then please fill out the interest form here.

Gran Canaria – reality of life for podencos behind the sunshine and sangria
Gran Canaria – This black podenca was beaten to kill her and dumped in a trash bin. She was found, barely alive, rescued and taken to a vet. Karen, a Belgian podenco passionata who herself has a black podenca, has written this tribute to Emmi – who is bravely hanging onto life with enormous care from the vet team and volunteers.
Sweet Podenco girl,
Posting this picture on FB
could make people turn away
quickly scrolling past the horror done to you…
But then no one would ever know you
nor about your fight
and that of good people
for your precious Life. -
Galgos del Sur, Cordoba – saving puppies dumped as waste
My name is Patricia Almansa and I´m the head of Galgos del Sur, a little animal organization from Córdoba, Andalucía (South Spain). We have a big problem with podencos, nobody ask for they and we didn´t find any organization who help them.
The last case is very urgent. We rescued 4 podenco puppies one week ago from a dumpster (ribbish bin). They were in a bag closed with tape. Just in Córdoba we have a heat wave with temperatures higher than 45º; if we hadn´t found in this moment then I´m sure they would have died soon. They have a lot of ticks, wounds, it took us 3 days to take out everything and clean them.
We need help to find good homes for the little podencas, they can´t grow in a kennel. Could anyone help us? There is one boy Bruma (first pic), and 3 girls Arena, Brisa and Marea
