Galgos del Sol (Murcia) makes saving galgos in Spain a reality!

There is an ABSOLUTE NEED to highlight the plight of galgos (greyhounds) in Spain. This blog is to help the refuge, Galgos Del Sol in Murcia, Costa Blanca. http://www.perrosdelsol.es/ or http://www.galgosdelsol.es/ (Both link to same site)

Tiny podenca Angela isn't well!
03 February 2011 @ 17:20

Little Angela was taken to the vet this morning because she has a cough & a poorly tum! The vet says he doesn't want to give her medicine because, at the moment, she is too skinny. Personally I can't figure that out but I guess the vet knows best. Obviously her foster carer will be watching her very closely.

The date Angela travels to Germany has been brought forward a week to 18th.

Please do read how you can help the refuge without it costing you, here , if you can't help with a much needed donation, here

UPDATED 8pm Wednesday 3rd February: Angela is not feeling good tonight, the vet has given her special food, presumably to help her weight increase but she doesn't like it. She has slept in the sunshine which she loved. Please get well soon, little podenca, you are much loved by so many like you can't imagine.

Are you a registered charity. I would like to set up a direct debit of £10.00 per month. Wish it could be more, but I already pay out to pet charities in UK.

Janice, a friend of Tina's. Tina & Gaynor, with their team of wonderful volunteers, run the Galgos Del Sol refuge in Murcia, Costa Blanca
If YOU can help by taking a galgo/podenco please email Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com or ring her mobile 693 100 712 Galgos del Sol is dedicated to every galgo espanol; those who made it and sadly those who didn't. Galgos del Sol is a small rescue based in Murcia, Spain that rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK and other parts of Europe. Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane. Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run by two dedicated women, Tina and Gaynor, assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers based in Spain, France and in the UK. Galgos del Sol es una pequeña protectora con sede en Murcia, España, que rescata galgos abandonados y heridos (galgos españoles de caza) y los rehabilita y les encuentra hogares para siempre en el Reino Unido y otras partes de Europa. Miles de galgos son abandonados o asesinados cada año al final de cada temporada de caza y como en España normalmente no los consideran mascotas por lo general terminan en perreras, donde acaban con su vida y a menudo en formas que no consideraríamos muy humanas. Galgos del Sol depende totalmente de donaciones para su supervivencia y está gestionado por dos mujeres muy involucradas, Tina y Gaynor, con la asistencia de un grupo de voluntarios con sede en España, Francia y en el Reino Unido.
