Leticia - Volunteering to Help Galgos & Podencos in Spain

Leticia is another of the unsung heroes of Spain, giving of her time and her emotions to help the galgos and podencos. Sandra Baas of BaasGalgo interview her.

'Hello everybody. My name is Leticia and I have been working for the last few years as a volunteer to help animal associations, and for the last two as a rescuer of galgos from the street. It all started when I was 14 years old, everything I saw in the street with 4 paws I took home to my parents, who watche me and asked 'why do you see them all!'

This is when my concerns about the animal situation in Spain began.

Perrikus Refuge, Madrid - saving Galgos and abandoned dogs - Help, Adopt a Spanish dog

In March 2009 I travelled with L'Europe des Levriers into Spain to bring out a dozen or so galgos and a couple of podencos for fostering and adoption in France.

One of the Spanish refuges which L'Europe des Levriers regularly use is Perrikus, and their volunteer Cristina da Luna.

Before my trip I had appealed on a couple of Franglais forums for donations of bedding, dog food, animal medicines, anything which the refuges could use, as they survive - struggle to survive is more like it - on donations.

I had the most amazing response and took a Volvo estate car full to bursting with goods for the refuge.

Help Save Her Leg, Sickening Injury to Galga in Linares, Donate to Vets Fees

It always sickens me to see pictures like this.

This galga is called MARIFLOR and was found in this pitiful condition in Linares.

The veterinarian has tried to save her leg, now he has fingers and legs crossed in the hope that it does not get infected.

If the wound does get infected, there will be no option but to amputate the leg.

PRO-GALGO association are arranging the foster of the galga away from Linares during her recovery as the galgos in Linares always get stolen. They are appealing for donations towards her veterinary care.

Learn more on how to donate - every euro/dollar,£ sterling helps.
