Galga survives horrendous road accident - Baas Galgo helping her fight for survival

Another incredible survivor of an horrendous road accident in Spain. Read the story of Stawberry Shortcake, rescued and cared for by Baas Galgo. Sounds such a similar story as Ken, rescued with spinal injuries by Galgos del Sol and now cared for by Galgo Connection Spain.

Podencos with SARA in the Canary Islands - looking for forever homes

It's extremely hard to find forever homes for abandoned dogs on the Spanish Islands, particularly the beautiful, affectionate and loyal podencos. SARA Lanzarote have these two beauties who desperately need the chance of life outside a shelter. Andrea describes them.

Pirulo is a very friendly and affectionate Podenco. He is obedient and will always watch out for the person that’s with him. He prefers to be cuddled and stroked than go to run or hunt, which is very special for these dogs. He is as well friendly with other dogs both male and female. He likes to be taken for walks, does not pull in the lead, we think he could even go without the lead.

Venancio, galgo rescued in Spain, adopted in Norway - can you help him?

Venancio is a galgo rescued in Spain, rehomed in Norway. Unfortunately he arrived with a problem which is going to be extremely costly to put right. Monette tells his story.

I´m writing you with an appeal on behalf of a newly adopted galgo from Spain and his loving family. Venancio arrived Norway december 2010, where a young couple have adopted him. Unfortunately, it appears now that the damage Venancio suffered just before his departure from Spain is so bad, that the vet in Norway has given the family only two choices, either to put Venancio to sleep or to have him operated, - an operation which there is no way the family can effort!

Racing Dogs Protection Act - an official proposal

This website has been sent to me by a supporter, please read and take action where requested. A point to note; WSPA are supporting this, yet they abandoned the cause of the galgos back in 2002/2003 and, according to the latest response I received from them, they have no plans to take the matter up again.

Black is very beautiful - adopt a black galgo - Gandalf and Romero need a home

Black is beautiful. There is nothing more stunning that a shiny black coat, sparkling with good health, finished off with a patterned collar. These two black boys have been overlooked for long enough. They desperately need their forever homes.

Romero was abandoned as a pup with a badly injured infected leg. Fearful of humans, he was nursed back to health by Gaynor and is in foster with Lisa who is working wonders teaching him what it is like to be loved. Contact Tina at Galgos del Sol to offer him his forever home, he so deserves one.

Gandalf is also in foster, another black beauty overlooked in favour of others. He's a happy dog and would make a fantastic companion, giving love for the rest of his life. Video of Gandalf. Contact Tina or Charl about him.

Please give these two boys a chance.
