In Seville - Galga Alma rescued in a pitiful state - safe with Asociacion de Cantillana

From Asociacion Animalista de Cantillana, Vidanimalis. In Seville province

'When we think we've seen everything... when you think you're already strong.... comes Alma to show us that human evil can go much further.

His case has broken us inside but we have to keep fighting.

This little girl has been rescued tonight in the conditions we show you. Luckily, tomorrow she will be moved first thing in the morning to a prote that will give her everything she needs.

Sorry for the harsh images but not seeing only makes us ignorant.

Go Alma, your life can only get better now.'

Warning, some upsetting pix

Galga Gina - back with Galgos Rescue Almeria after her operation

From Sandy Galgoslover - please donate to the vet fees as Galgos Rescue Almeria is a small shelter with several dogs on medication for leishmania, and Sandy and John always put the dogs' medical care first.

'Our old lady is back home. We picked up Gina from the traumatologist. The surgery went well, now she has to recover and rest a lot.

Next week a check up to see how the wound has healed and within 6 weeks new X-rays will be made to see if the fracture has sutured correctly.

You still can support Gina by donating through the fundraising below or PayPal : Galgosrescuealmeria@gmail.com https://gofund.me/6663ca5e

Another example of the horrendous cruelty so many Spanish hounds suffer

Black Galgo recently had Ophra arrive in their care.

OPHRA is this chocolate black cutie just two years old, which appeared wandering around the vicinity of our residence recently, and presents a complicated painting that needed surgery. This adorable squish has a deformation of the neck and head of the femur and should have an operation with excision arthroplasty. With this operation we will save her paw, the pain will disappear and she will be able to make a normal life with rehabilitation and much pampering. Hopefully the operation will have saved the leg from amputation.

I've asked for an update

SOS Rescue - an horrendous case of ticks

I've seen some nasty photos of ticks on galgos and podencos over the years of writing my blogs, but this must be the worst. Luckily the galgo is with SOS Rescue, I've asked what they use to remove so many bloodsuckers and if the dod is anaemic.

SOS Rescue says 'Another urgent rescue. This is unacceptable and this is the state of greyhounds in Spain. Eaten by ticks. We need your help. Going straight to the vet and residence.

Galgo's Rescue Almeria - urgent call for a new washing machine

From Sandy Galgoslover.

'Unfortunately our washing machine no longer works. We now waste a lot of time going to the launderette to wash everything properly. There is no budget to buy a new washing machine as we currently have a number of dogs that need extra medical care.
This is a call for help to buy a new one, estimated price for a new machine 400 €.

Galgos112 - galgo abandoned with broken legs now safe with them

From Galgos112.

'We introduce Simba, some soulless being ran over him and left him lying on the side of a Cordoba road, he could not get up and many went by without seeing him or not wanting to see him.

Until someone who did see him and contacted Anabel who without hesitation went for him and took him to the vet for the first emergency assistance. Then she contacted us asking for help.

Once stabilized he was moved to our vet in Sevilla where he entered waiting to be valued by our referral traumatologist.

Simba has fractured both of his hind legs and hip, plus a huge burn wound with the asphalt inside his thigh, what a suffering the poor dog has gone through before he received help.

He is being operated on and we'll be able to give you more updates soon.
