Black Galgo association says..
'Let's give visibility to forgotten males...
They're in Sevilla with Black Greyhound, and can travel where that wonderful family is ready to open the doors of their heart... Some new arrivals... and others have been waiting for months.
If you are that family, email info.blackgalgo@gmail.com

Vera Thorenaar Redering has been saving galgos in the Malaga province since 2008. She's one of the first volunteers I was in contact with when starting Galgo News. In November the Association created a fundraiser to try and raise the money to buy their own shelter. Here's a link to see what happened in the current shelter a few years ago and the risk again with the torrential storms Spain experiences now in the winter.

From Rocio Castillo Gonzalez
'Glory, a mix galga-podenca, Small-medium size (12 kg)
One year she has been at the Podencos Y Mas -Malaga- shelter, this princess is waiting for you to look at such a beauty. She's our top model... but still no one has given her a chance yet.
She's 2 years old and was rescued at just 1 years old from a Noe syndrome in Huelva. Came in a lot of fear and full of bugs outside and inside.
Now she's a cute doll, healthy and full of love and happiness to give whoever is lucky enough to give her a good home.
Can you help us so Gloria can write her happy ending?
It's time for you, isn't it, Glory?

From a Veterinary Clinic.
'Please help us spread the word about this. We are seeing more and more Sago Palm's for sale as house plants. We were very disappointed to see that the Sago Palm plants in some stores still have no warning label. These plants are very toxic to pets. It takes a very small dose to cause liver failure. Many dogs don't survive, even with treatment. We took the picture on the left at Home Depot (warning tag). Walmart in the US are also selling them and none of the Sago's at Walmart had warning tags. These have also been seen at Target and Ikea.
Familiarize yourself with its distinctive appearance, because often they are just called "palm plants" (technically they are not palms, but cycads) or not labeled at all.
Edited to ad: The seeds are the most toxic part of the plant, but these small versions usually are not big enough to produce seeds. However, the entire plant is toxic, so please be careful.'

Galgo's Rescue Almeria appeal
It’s necessary to separate new abandoned dogs from the ones who are already saved. It’s important for new arrivals to stay for 2 weeks in a separate place so they can recover and be vaccinated. We already raised an amount for all the materials for one kennel ( concrete, stones, cement, floor- and wall tiles, iron works, roof, .....). So all help to build the second one will be welcome .
See a plan of the kennels and donate through Gofundme on this weblink.

Acorns are poisonous...often meadows are surrounded by acorns and if horses eat enough, they suffer. I didn't know that some dogs might also eat acorns until I read this article.

GAR have 6 hounds with leishmania treatment, 5 of them galgos and the 6th a podenco. Please help them by donating on their GoFundMe appeal on this weblink. They will be grateful for any amount.

Google translation
This means two more expressive advances for animal protection, and the ONLY list for GALGOS.
.
◆ We are deeply grateful to Ricardo Izar, Weliton Prado and Frank Alarcón who accepted the anguished pleas for two greyhounds and greyhounds that are cruelly explored for greyhound hares at their speed to obtain a profit in money.
.
◆ I attached two days atuais no lutava for a law to prohibit barbarians advinced that you "donos de cães de corrida" chamavam de esporte for "athletes by nature".
.
◆ They, you galgueiros, are not bothered when botam focinheiras nas fêmeas, surely between 03 or 04, tie five homens, and commit rape as a male that is a reproducer.
.
◆ They are never disturbed by a government body, or an animal defense entity, when injecting drugs is reserved for us as championship athletes.
.
◆ Galgueiros will never feel bad to abandon the velhos e velhas, the doentes, the broken, the broken and the bruised. This is because we always houveram people who are imported and who bring us homeless.
.
◆ I read the only way to end up with the practice of cruelty that impõem against the greyhounds.
(Not a very good translation but you get the gist of it!)

From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid
'2nd October was black galgo day. Well, in Scooby we have lots of them. These 3, and they are terrified. They prefer not to look at you because they hope that you´re not really there. They were not born like this, they were born as normal dogs but with abnormal owners. They have turned into nocturnal dogs, only come out at night to eat and take some fresh air, but the day they spend in their doghouse where they feel safe with the others and don´t have to face the cruel world in which they think they live.
This is how they become when they never get love or a friendly word, a compliment, a nice belly rub or good food when they are hungry. No, they only get a big mouth, loud and angry voices, abuse, hunger, mistreatment and in the end, when not killed, they are left to their fate, in the field, a perrera or a shelter and that´s fatal for a sensitive dog like a galgo.
But at least they´re safe in Scooby now and we´ll do anything to make them ¨whole¨again.
Churo, Zarito and Fawini.
Contact Scooby if you can offer a forever home to one of these innocent souls.
