Galga Neu with Puntanimals in Umbria, Spain - hoping for a forever home.

From Puntanimals in Spain.

'This little one is also a victim of hunting and abandonment, luckily her path crossed with that of our friend Belén who is the foster home of many of our rescues, infinite thanks for everything you do for them. You are safe now NEU, your life has changed already.

We leave you Belen's words about the history and character of NEU.

"I'm headed out to walk my troop like just another day." That day I decided to take a different route, shorten the road to get to a traffic light earlier. It was an accidental decision that would save a life. When I was walking half a street, a person stopped me and asked me if I wanted to pick up a galgo that was abandoned and in the heat. I told him I would if I was sure that dog didn't belong to anyone, I didn't want trouble if it was someone's. He assured me no, she was abandoned. He brought it to me and delivered it to me.

Unknowingly, that dog had gotten a second chance. She is a low-medium galgo, young approx 1'5 or 2 years old. At first skeptical but soon you win her over and she's charming. Gets along well with dogs, doesn't react to small dogs.

Galgo Lord with Scooby Residencia Valladolid - hoping for a forever home

From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid

'This stunning boy is Lord and a while ago he stood at the door from the Scooby residencia with a broken front leg. Obviously abandoned like that and asking if we could help him. Of course we did so he was operated in Madrid and now he is completely recuperated, he does not even limp. He is still very young, super sweet, sympathetic, loves to play with the other dogs and not scared at all.

He's obviously had a hard life from all the scars on his poor body. All he needs now is a loving forever family. Chip: 98111.

Galga Orla with Galgos en Familia - hoping for a forever home

From Galgos en Familia

'Today we are going to talk to you about Orla.

Orla is a 7-year-old Galgo female, she was rescued by our colleagues from Siempre Contigo en Rota, there the owner took them, with a clear message: "o las cogéis or las quito de enmedio", yes, of course. (You take her or I'll get rid of her').

Orla's life hasn't been easy, her scars and the state of her body, tell us that she knows pain well and what it's like to give birth in every heat.

Luckily all that is now behind and Orla has started a new life, a life in which there is affection, care and respect. Orla is a very grateful girl, close, caring and quiet, she still must adapt to city life, traffic, noise, etc...but we know little by little she will get it.

Galga Betsy looking for a foster/adoption home in Barcelona

A galga in a sorry state now safe with Galgos 112.

This is Betsy. She arrived at Galgos 112 in such bad conditions that she was directly admitted to the veterinary clinic. Betsy had a fever and passed out. Had a severe eye infection, was very thin and had anaemia. She was also tested for the usual diseases. The vet calculated her about 10 years but it's a guess. She has virtually no teeth and without them it’s almost impossible to get her age right.

We have got two news about her: one good and one bad.

The good news is that she is recovering well and still on medication and has been discharged!.

The bad thing is that we don't have a foster home for her so we've had to rehome her and even though they are well cared for there, it's not the same as being in a home, especially for a gal like Betsy who is already of a respectable age. And we would also like that, because of her eye problem, they could also see her at IVO in Barcelona.

So people of Barcelona and vicinity we need you! Betsy needs you guys!

Scooby Residencia Valladolid - blind galgo Balu in recovery

From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid.

'This very sweet galgo is blind and if that isn't already bad enough, now he also has a bloodear/othematome in both ears! He has been operated on this rather painful issue in the Scooby hospital in Santovenia. He (Balu) has undergone the operation as a real hero! He does not like too much the Isabellina cap but what needs to be has to be and hopefully it won't be needed very long. Well done to the vets and to our special blind boy Balu.'

Eventually Balu will be looking for a very special home, preferably with another dog.

We have a blind podenco and his housemate wears a bell on her collar. He is amazing the way he finds his way around using his nose and hearing.

Galga Molly in the UK hoping for a forever home

Back in 1994 a stray greyhound turned up at our Suffolk home, in poor condition. From the tattoo in her ear, she was 7 years old but couldn't trace the owner. She converted me to greyhounds and subsequently to galgos. This stunning black galga is in the UK for homing.

'Our beautiful galga Molly is looking for forever home. She is currently in a foster home in Staffordshire and doing really well.
Molly is a friendly, happy girl, she in a home with several dogs, various breeds and gets on with them fine. There are no issues with people either. She just over 2 years old.

Sadly can’t live with cats but could live with older sensible children. She is spayed, vaccinated, chipped, blood tested and health checked.

From Sandy Galgoslover

'12 9 2022

Busy morning, 5 dogs had an appointment at the vet. Huge vet expenses for a small rescue - if you can donate, please click on this weblink.

- Sofia: this girl has made a huge step forward, her weight increased from 16kg to 20.60kg. Her treatment for Erlichia and Anaplasma has ended and the 28 days of Milteforan have also been completed. Today a new blood test was done to check if she also has Babesia.

- Cabriola: she too has already made enormous progress. Checkup was ok, a blood test was also done for Babesia. She has also ended her treatment for Erlichia and Anaplasma.

- Violetta: meanwhile has gained enough weight (25kg), finished her treatment for Anaplasma and is being spayed today (she tested negative for Babesia).

- Fiona: also ended her treatment for Anaplasma but unfortunately tested positive for Babesia. To avoid risks of internal bleeding she will only be sterilized after her treatment. She received step one of her treatment today and will remain in the clinic for observation until this evening.
