From Galgos del Sol

"We are delighted with all the support we are getting, it's been so encouraging. We are getting food, coats and collars sent from all over the world and not to mention that all important paper that pays the vets bills. Thank you to all those for supporting our galgos. They have a good time with us, thanks to you. We can't... believe how much this association has grown in just a few short months..... it's been an emotional rollercoaster."

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.
