Galgo News

Dumped in a rubbish bin in Seville, rescued by El Albergue - pray for him

I'm just one person sitting at my computer, trying to keep up with the news coming in from Spain and the Spanish Islands about galgos and podencos.....just this afternoon, whilst I took a couple of hours out to mow the lawn, 9 emails came in about galgos and podencos....on death row in killing stations in Seville, Merida, Cordoba, and on top of that there are the appeals from individuals about abandoned galgos in Malaga, Cadiz, elsewhere in Spain - can anyone in those areas help catch them? I do my best, but I can't always post them all.

This story from a volunteer with the El Albergue asso sums up the galguero attitude to his dog.

No Voice, No Choice - 6th August, Surrey - stand needed for galgo & podenco publicity

Here's news from Maria Daines, fantastic singer/songwriter and marvellous supporter of animals in need. If anyone is willing to organise a Galgo/Podenco publicity stand, please get in touch, maybe we can put volunteers in touch with each other through Galgo News and Podenco Post. The Galgos and Podencos need you to help.

'We've been really busy working on the DDAWatch/Company of Animals 'No Voice No Choice' event coming up on August 6th in Surrey. I thought I'd better catch up with you all and invite you to have a stall (rescue and good causes can book a place for free) and if you can't hold a stall on the day you're most welcome to attend with or without your dogs, it's also free entry to the public with plenty of car parking.

Voice for the Voiceless - Galga Savia - please help the animals

This is Savia – she is blind! She was found by a Spanish girl and was living in a field near to the old mineworks on the outskirts of Mazarron. Noah’s Arc went to the field where they eventually found SAVIA laying in the sun. When they got near her she
immediately got up and they could see that she had cataracts on both eyes.
Unfortunately when they tried to put a collar and lead on her she took flight. One hour later they managed to catch her.
