You remember the story of Max, the little puppy covered in red varnish by some sadistic human being - human? Well, I'm happy to report that Pro-Galgo have treated him and cleaned him up and he has now gone to his forever home. Read about it here.
On the other hand, these 2 puppies were not so lucky. Marie Dutto send me this plea. Please sign the petition for her.
Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 2000 signatures –
Please sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/two-puppies-brutally-mutilated-and-killed-in-spain-stop-the-cruelty>
Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.
Thank you! Marie
Marie - can you let me know what happens to the petition when you reach your target. It would be nice to know where it will be sent.
I am surprised to read that these fast hounds make good pets.they are sidehounds and run like the wind when they see a cat, rabit or squirrel, like the grey hounds you always have to keep them on a leash, everywhere or they are gone.

Bonjour
Thank you for reading Galgo News and
commenting. Yes, they are a hunting breed, but some of them are failed
hunters and live quite happily with cats, especially if they are the only dog
and therefore dont have the same pack instinct. My first greyhound
lived quite happily with 2 cats, she even let one of the kittens suckle her! She
also lived with 2 other dogs.Having said that, my 3 cats here know to keep out
of the courtyard when the 4 dogs are loose. (1 lurcher, 2 galgas and a podenca)
Probably also a galgo puppy can be brought up to live with cats, perhaps someone
who has adopted a galgo puppy can tell me?
