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.
