SOS Galgos in Pittsburgh Children's Hospital

Kudos to Steel City Greyhounds for all the good they do to help children in need from the Children's hospital in Pittsburgh, this special occasion with football player celebrity Colton Underwood. We are so proud of you Marci and David and that these special galgas are from SOS Galgos!

23/24 February - Scooby collect 48 galgos

'It has been exhausting traveling several hundred kilometres in 20 hours to pick up these galgos in different places of Extremadura and Andalucia, but the effort, of course, has been worth it. Now these galgos, to which an uncertain future awaited them will have the opportunity to know the warmth of a home and the love of a family.

We want to thank all those who, in one way or another, support our work, because without your help, we would not be able to save and change so many lives.

2 galgos abandoned, starving, tied up in a field!

Two galgas tied up and abandoned in a field left to who knows what fate! Here's their story from the volunteers.

'We were told of 2 abandoned galgas tied in the field. When we got to them they were very weak and malnourished, no chip of course! We took them to the vet, where after doing the tests of erlichia and leishmania, they tested negative. They stayed at the vet clinic for a couple of days where they were given food and vitamins.

They are now in the shelter with their special food and vitamins.

If anyone wants to donate for them, we would greatly appreciate it as we have hardly any funds. Contact by whatsapp at 655 58 50 42.

We have named them -

Galga Frida - abandoned with a badly broken leg

Last week Little Frida was found in the middle of athe field with one leg broken by two parts, victim, unfortunately, of not being good enough to hunt, so she has has been discarded.

She has been operated on and is now recovering in a foster home in Ciudad Real capital, so that she can recover from the post-op and can attend its periodic reviews until she is recovered.

It's a shame to meet these cases.

Beauties like the Spanish Galgos, which mostly are used for fun of a few and when when they are not of use, they are abandoned to their luck.

Adopt a galgo - 40mph loyal and loving couch potatoes!

The hunting season in Spain is now ending and galgos are being abandoned by the galgueros in their thounands. If you can offer a galgo a place in your heart and home, here's a comprehensive list of rescue and rehoming associations.

Protectora Scooby - defining a galguero

From Scooby. (Google translation)

'we start the publication defining what is for us a galgos: every person who breeding-keeps-Uses Greyhounds for hunting.

From here we ask several questions to the lords galgueros why, especially in these dates, are the kennels and protectors full of abandoned greyhounds? And when we say abandoned, we also refer to those greyhounds that are left by their owners in these facilities, because getting rid of an animal, even if you don't leave it in the middle of the field.

How many of you take care of all the greyhounds that go through your life until they are old and die for natural causes or diseases of age? Do you really have all the dogs that are not good to hunt in your homes until they die? What do you do with the greyhounds that break a leg? Do you operate and stay with you until the end of your days even if you can't run anymore?

The majority of "take care" of the animals that bring you or can bring you some benefit, but you get away from those of whom you can no longer take any advantage why you want to deny the obvious?

Scooby is arriving dozens of greyhounds, some collected from the street, others brought by their owners, others taken from the kennels, but all of them abandoned because they are no longer useful for their owners. The Greyhounds in Spain remain in their vast majority animals to use and throw and as long as they do not change the laws, unfortunately, this will continue to be.

Podenco Friends and 5 rescued galgos

Bev farmer is known for her tireless work with rescued podencos. But occasionally a galgo crosses her path. Here's her story of 5.

'On 9th January we took in 5 male galgos. They are a voluntary hand over from their Galguero, not living in the best of conditions but in fairness all 5 dogs are in a reasonable state. A lot of superficial cuts and bite marks, just one that had a serious laceration that needed attention. Thanks to Friends of Mazarron Animals who are working with local Galgueros.

Due to an outbreak of myxomatosis in hares in a number of regions in Spain, hunting has been suspended in some areas, the galgueros no longer want the dogs and are agreeing to hand them over to rescues.

Many thanks to Dee N, Ste Hargreaves, Steve.. Dee..Val..Falk..Jane..Keith who transported them up yesterday to our vets and stayed with us whilst all the dogs were blood tested and vaccinated. Then helped to take them to Finca la Castellana were they are in residence until we have space to bring them to us

Protectora Scooby picking up the broken pieces

Protectora Scooby Palencia

'We saw her several times a day, running along the road, crossing field through...until we discovered where she slept and finally, when the night fell, we were able to rescue her.

Another galguito more safe, another wonderful being that will have the opportunity to have a home and a real family.
