Galgo Titan making good progress with Animal Rescue Spain

Do you remember this appeal. Here's the latest good news about Titan.

'Titan is reborn again, thanks to you who have helped us, thanks to your response. Titan was just another greyhound, abandoned, run over and pulled until some good hearted girls stopped in the middle of the gutter and contacted us. Yesterday he had surgery again and everything went well, so far he will remain in.

We've done for Titan what any dog deserves. Sometimes we are told that we do too much for a dog that belongs to nobody but life is above all else for us and we are unstoppable together with you. Excited we call you. THANK YOU

Thanks to you who help us, we make this moment possible.

Coping with hearing loss in dogs

My little Podenca Andaluz Bebe is now 17 going on 18 and age is starting to catch up with her. She's already very grey in her face, on her legs and behind her ears. Cataracts are developing in her eyes and her hearing - in her gorgeous pointy ears - is failing.

Here's an interesting article on coping with hearing loss in dogs.

Happy New Year to all my readers

Happy New Year to you all.

Let's hope the nightmare of 2020 and the virus will not be repeated in 2021 and that we may soon return to 'normality'. For our beloved hounds, nothing much has changed. Some dogs were adopted to help people through isolation, hopefully they will stay there for their natural lives, knowing comfort, a full belly and lots of love.

Thank you for reading my blog and for supporting the appeals for help which I receive from shelters and associations. It still saddens me and makes me angry over the attitude of the hunters that their dogs are simply tools to be disposed of when they are no longer of use.

Many thanks to all my readers who care about the hounds and help where they can with donations to appeals here. In this terrible year the shelters and associations are suffering greatly from lack of funds, so be sure every donation is much appreciated.

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy Christmas holiday and hoping 2021 is filled with positives, chiefly good health.

Asociacion Equipo Rescata Animal - saving hounds in Spain

From Yo Galgo.

'This is Susana, a warrior and a friend, a volunteer rescuer at Asociación Equipo Rescate Animal - ERA that works tirelessly to rescue animals in need. ERA mostly rescues galgos (because so many are abandoned in the countryside), but will rescue any animal in need.

Her help has been invaluable for making Yo Galgo, our film. I went with her on many of her rescues throughout the years. Many times we would wait endless hours, without even seeing the dog. Rescuing is not easy, and requires a lot of preparation trying to gain the trust of the dog. Joining the rescues has made me understand the true effort of what they do. At ERA all rescuers are volunteers, and believe me they get where no one goes, and as many times as it is needed. Last year they rescued around 400 animals, most of them galgos. Please get to know them at @Asociación Equipo Rescate Animal - ERA and watch our film where you can also meet Susana and watch the rescue of this galgo.'

New arrivals at Galgo Rescue Almeria

New arrivals in the last few days. Sandy tells their story. Please donate if you can help with vet bills for them all, so they can be adopted.

This is Faro, he comes from the same hunter as Fletcha, Timo and Olivia. He is 4 years old and unfortunately also he has leishmaniasis. e will take him to the vet to analyse the blood results and see which treatment he needs. Look at the poor state of the boy, hardly any hair on his legs, scar face, sores on his body.

Thanks Tracey Smith for saving Faro and to convince the hunter to handle him over.

After Faro, Princesa and Careca no we have 3 more newcomers arrived, Neron, Triana and Rocio. All 3 come straight from the galguero.
