"Finally, after months of trying, Gill and I managed to catch this galgo .... he has been living rough for months and months with a broken leg and now we have him, sooooooooooo happy!!!! My daughter has called him Josh.

Josh is safe now with Tina (left) & Gill, in the care of the Galgos del Sol refuge.

5pm: Josh has been castrated today! He wasn't aware of that about to happen when this was taken at the vets. His leg is broken but too much time has gone by, it has healed on its own and an operation could make it worse.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR CAUSE, THANK YOU!

Great news! Well done Gill and Tina - keep up the good work. A special thank you from Lisa, who was looked after by 4 Patas, before adopting us last year.

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.
