Greyhounds in Need was founded by Anne and Arthur Finch in 1998 to highlight the plight of racing greyhounds and find forever homes for them. Anne was also involved in the closure of the Barcelona racetrack and homing the 700 greyhounds there. Now Greyhounds In Need focuses on helping Spanish galgos. Here's the tale of how they helped 112 carlotta galgos back in 2019.
We were recently able to visit Charlotte and Dioni at 112carlottagalgos in Malaga. They had moved premises since our last visit so we were all excited to see their new finca. It was larger than their previous finca but Charlotte and Dioni have worked hard to make it a lovely place for the galgos to live and be cared for until they are ready for adoption.
They have recently added a clinic building to their premises and having a vet on site certainly eases the burden on Charlotte as the regular visits to the vets with so many dogs took up a lot of her day. We were very impressed with the clinic and were able to meet Rosa, the vet. Charlotte had asked us for some help with the clinic and this made our visit very important so that we could see for ourselves what was needed. Leigh, one of our Trustees, himself a vet, was able to discuss the clinic and equipment with Rosa and Charlotte and we are pleased to say that we have funded the purchase of the following veterinary equipment to aid their work.
Oxygen Concentrator
Anaesthetic Machine
Scales
Operating Lamp
Laryngoscope
Anaesthetic circuits and consumables
Surgical Tray
Suture materials
Anaesthetic Monitoring machine
Surgical equipment
This year (2020) we have given funding towards initial veterinary costs for 24 galgos they have rescued.
