Best wishes for 2009

Here's wishing readers of Galgo News a very Happy New Year!

Help for the Galgos from Fondation Brigitte Bardot

2009 Calendar from Galgos France - another fundraiser

Galgos France also have a calendar for sale, the cover looks very nice but it would be useful to be able to see the inside pages. Personally, I prefer a calendar which has the date of each day in a blank square, so that I can write notes on it, such as birthdays, appointments with the vet, when dog vaccinations are due. What do you think?

27 humans and 44 dogs - 6 podencos, 6 iggies, 1 azawakh, 1 irish wolfhound, 2 borzois,many many galgos plus 3 cute mongrels !

All hounds ran off leash except 2 iggies and old stubborn podenco GOMEZ, everyone enjoyed it.

80 dogs imprisoned - one person caring for them! Write a letter of protest!

This news is just in from Anjo, about a dog pound with some 80 dogs in it, where just one person is the director/worker/etc.

You can see the state the place is in, the photos were taken by 3 girls who went to this perrera to adopt a dog.

They found a dog there which was being eaten by other dogs, and they bravely got it out to the vet, where it was euthenased.

They also found the rotting remains of a dog in the dustbin. Dogs were there without food or water.

Inside the shelter are more dogs, without any daylight. The place does not seem to be cleaned more than once a week, or even less.

Mega Lorry Load of Goods arrive in Spain for the shelters

Sandra Baas of Baasgalgo reports on the arrival of the mega lorry load of donated goods for Spanish shelters.
