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

Galgo rescued with a broken leg. As you can see, the beginning of the year is not good and in just 10 days we have already picked up two dogs that need surgery.

We need your help to be able to face all the veterinary expenses that are presented to us.'

4 galgos saved from hanging...help needed for passporting etc

It's a terrible time for hunting dogs in Spain as the hunting season will end this month and dogs are being abandoned and killed in their hundreds. This is the appeal from a couple of days ago from Bev Grubba.

'FRIENDS, THESE ARE THE 4 GALGOS I'VE JUST TAKEN FROM BEING KILLED! THIS DOG LITERALLY HAD A NOOSE ROUND HER NECK TO BE HUNG! 2nd DOG IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD! BIG CRISI,S SO MANY BEING KILLED. SO NOW AGAIN BEGGING TO EVERY DOGLOVER , FRIENDS TO DONATE FOR RESIDENCE, VETS FEES, NEUTERS. SPONSORS WELCOME!
PAYPAL bevgrubba@hotmail.com (Galgos)'

URGENT APPEAL for help for galgos

Bev Grubba is based in the UK but works with a couple of rescues in southern Spain. Last week they worked on the rescue of 16 galgos in a terrible state which Galgos del Sol have taken...involving a 6 hour journey from Rota to Murcia. Now Bev and the rescuers are appealing for help again. Here's the story.

'We managed to get help from Galgos del Sol for the 16 galgos and they are all safe with a future. But on the 9th Jan there are another 16 needing help from the same area. A friend is taking 2, another friend taking 4 and hopefully another 2 to another friend.

So places needed for 8. We have a place in the UK for another 4 but unfortunately we don't have the funds to prepare them. We will take 2 and raise the money for those but if we can get help for the other two we have a place for them. We have free foster until they are ready to travel so need to raise funds for vaccs, chip, passport and blood test and spaying or castrating for all of them, which will run into 4 figures.

Could you please help in any way, these dogs need our help, they are in a very bad place. We are waiting for photos but they are difficult to get. Bev's PayPal is bevgrubba@hotmail.com for donations please.'

Some of the 16 galgos previously rescued were ill or injured.

Scooby to the rescue again

From protectora Scooby.

'Happy new year? Not for everyone

We would like to have started the year with some more pleasant news, but unfortunately we have to start it with another hard rescue, that of this greyhound that has found our colleague nuria lying in a ditch. The poor dog had been run over and despite the pain he must be in, he allows himself be manipulated to make a diagnosis without complaining and without making a bad gesture.

We will let you know how he goes on but as you see there is not a month when Scooby does not reach out to animals that need some kind of special treatment or surgery, that is why your help and collaboration is so important. So that you can give these angels the ability to continue living and having a family to take care of them and want as they deserve.

Please help us help them

Escaping hell - 16 galgos from Rota, Cadiz to Murcia

A situation has arisen where a Galguero is getting rid of his Galgos. Bev Grubba has arranged that 16 of them are going to Galgos del Sol in Murcia. It’s a 6 hour drive so 16 of them will be safe...not turned out on the street as the Galguero threatened!! That’s 16 arriving that need to be blood tested, vaccinated, sterilised etc and reports of some with broken legs. Galgos del Sol have no news on their health but just to prepare the basics will run into thousands. Can you make a paypal donation to finish off the year and help us?

Bev Grubba arranged the transport from Rota (Cadiz) to the shelter in Murcia. To donate to the transport, paypal bevgrubba@hotmail.com marking it galgos.

Scooby to the rescue again - galga on the run for a year

Success! Finally it has been possible to capture this mommy galguita who has been wandering around Medina about a year with her daughter (the most white) she has raised on the street...Mommy is scared but not so much, she has realized fast that in Scooby all the people she finds treat her well, the little one is more fearful, probably has not had direct contact with humans so she will need more patience,
They are in adoption both and deserve a great family that wants them, will it be yours?

Dumped in a perrera with broken legs - Galgos 112 to the rescue!

Galgos112 to the rescue again.

'Serena was more than a week with this fracture. Waiting in a kennel for the day of her death to arrive and with it the end of her agony. But this time luck was there and someone crossed her path, saving her life.
She has another brutal knife fracture that has shattered her muscles and tendons...We run out of words to so much suffering.'

We can keep saving lives but it will always be the tip of the iceberg. How many more like Serena are there right now? We must fight for real laws of protection and animal defense. It's our obligation to change things and you have to start by not looking the other way. Reporting, educating and raising awareness is fundamental.'
