I try not to put too many dogs on Galgo News looking for forever homes, as the individual associations are the people to contact.
But I feel a need to mention the ones which really pull at my heartstrings, like the injured and abused ones.
This is Palomo. The main things he needs are a warm bed, plenty to eat and drink, and your love and kindness.

International Day of the Dog www.internationaldayofthedog.org.uk It's the 3rd one this year, started by the English dog listener Jan Fennell. It's to celebrate man's relationshilp with this amazing animal who, no matter what one does to it, a dog is still loyal and full of love.
We are having a dog walk iaround the delightful village of Celles-sur-Belle, between Niort and Melle in Western France. Rosettes will be awarded to all dogs taking part, kindly sponsored by Allez Francais.
Why not organise an event yourself, and let me know, even if the funds go to your local SPA.

These podencos were in the house of an old lady who has Alzheimers Disease, and she forgot to feed them.
A neighbour has taken them, but cannot keep them, as she has five dogs of her own.
The most urgent need is that the dogs are taken from where they are now, even if only by an association, and after that, money is needed for food etc.
Money is urgently needed to help with their feed or whatever they require, plus new homes found.

The following article appeared in the Daily Telegraph earlier this week.
Spanish King 'meddling' in hunting law row
I wonder how many of the men marching with their greyhounds later intended to hang them from trees, burn them alive, mutilate them...?
Should we start a letter campaign to King Juan Carlos? What do you think?

This petition is against a man who calls himself an artist. In 2007 he chained a dog up and left it to starve to death. He called it 'Art'. More on www.greyhoundaction.org.uk/greyhound.html
He is planning to do this again this year.
Please add your name to the half million people who have already signed.
This is the link. It requires your name, email addres, town and country completing, to add you on.
Charl del Rio has now written with more information, and a plea.
This email address, and website, is that of the art gallery where the artist murdered the dog in Costa Rica 2007 in the name of art!

PLEASE join me in sending a letter to them in disgust. My letter is below which you are welcome to use, or send in your own words. It would just take a moment.
