HELP 2 .. 2 GALGOS IN NEED!!!!!



2 GALGOS IN NEED!

This is the story .. its the same all over Spain... galgos everywhere, galgos in shelters awaiting their final day. Unless of course someone steps in from another assoc. or rescuer, and takes them away, but they still need a family.


Even from the slim escape of a death sentance and now await a family of their own. Well this is the story of Leonor y corriente!! They were stuck in a shelter awaiting their final day which was coming faster than they knew. Infact days! the female is called leonor and she is 2 years of age, she had wounds on her skin when she was rescued but now she is fine, and playful. She is sociable, and caring.


The male, 3 years old is in good health , and perhaps a little calmer than his sister, (despite not being blood family they are together as one!) Brindles in colour, and awaiting the good life. If you can help them - help them find a family they would be so greatful. A hard time they have had, and they desperately need some love and affection. Please dont let them be just another number in a kennel, please find a space in your heart for 2 desperate galgos. Are you their guardian Angel?


Now they are in Parque Animal. Please contact me comdelrio@hotmail.com if you can help or parque Animal directly. They are waiting for you...


LA HISTORIA ES : NO SON HERMANOS A NO SER DE DESGRACIAS ,LOS DOS HAN SIDO RESCATADOS DE UNA PERRERA DONDE LES QUEDABAN POCOS DIAS DE VIDA,LA HEMBRA SE LLAMA LEONOR Y TIENE DOS AÑOS Y MEDIO ESTABA CON ALGUNAS HERIDAS EN LA PIEL CUANDO SE RESCATO PERO AHORA ESTA MUY SANA Y JUGUETONA,ES SOCIABLE Y CARIÑOSA.
EL MACHO TIENE TRES AÑOS ,ESTA SANO Y QUIZAS ES MAS TRANQUILO QUE ELLA,PERO ES MUY DULCE Y SIEMPRE BUSCA QUE LO ACARICIES.
ESPEREMOS QUE TENGAN MUCHA SUERTE Y OLVIDEN LA MALA VIDA QUE LES HAN DADO.

Poor Poor baby!





Baby Galguito abandoned at 1 month old.....

This baby galgo was abanoned in Jaen with just one month of age. He was wandering the streets the best he could carrying with him a stomach full of worms and parasites. He could barely walk from the malnourishment he was suffering. Along came his guardian angel - a lady who scooped him up and took him home. Now he is 2 months old and in better health. The lady cannot keep him any longer, so he needs a forever home... if you can offer him a home, please contact the below email or phone number. Good luck lil one!!!!!!!! May you know only the good life that many galgos dont even know exists!!!

PURE LOVE!

PURE LOVE

I just couldnt resist sharing this with you, its not a Galgo, but it is PURE LOVE. Its 2 people who took on a baby lion, clearly he grew and he just could not be maintained by them. So they decided to place him into the wild.
Sometime later they decided to travel to Africa to see him, they were SPECIFICALLY told he would NOT remember them... well you judge for yourself, its truly beautiful and surely an incredible moment they will never forget! Click the link and Enjoy!!!!!


Estas dos personas criaron un cachorro de león, y lo llamaron 'Christian'. Lamentablemente se hizo muy grande para que ellos pudieran seguir cuidando de él, así que decidieron liberarlo para que viviera como un león salvaje. Después de 1 año decidieron viajar a África para visitarlo. Se les dijo específicamente que el león no los iba a recordar. Este vídeo fue tomado cuando se encontraron con él.

Que es leishmania?


Sobre Leishmania



La Leishmaniosis es una enfermedad parasitaria que afecta a los perros y es transmitida por un tipo determinado de mosquito (Phlebotomus). Las hembras del mosquito pueden picar a un animal enfermo y tomar el protozoo (género Leishmania) junto con la sangre succionada, estos parásitos cambian de morfología en su interior, adquiriendo la forma infectiva en unos días.Posteriormente, si este mosquito pica a un animal sano puede transmitirle la enfermedad.
Debe quedar muy claro que no hay posibilidad de contagio directo entre animales o entre animales y personas. Sólo es posible la transmisión mediante el Phlebotomo. Además, en humanos se producen muy pocos casos de contagio y se dan fundamentalmente en personas con su sistema inmunitario deprimido por otras enfermedades o causas.La Leishmania se localiza en la sangre y la médula ósea del perro. Desde la picadura del mosquito hasta que se muestra la enfermedad pueden pasar de 4 a 6 meses, y no es detectable en esa fase ni siquiera por medio de análisis de sangre. Pasado este tiempo, los síntomas que pueden aparecer son: crecimiento exagerado de las uñas, ganglios infartados, alopecias características en zonas del cuerpo como orejas y alrededor de los ojos y delgadez a pesar de comer con apetito y regularidad, entre otros. Simultáneamente, en perros no tratados, el parásito va afectando a los órganos internos (hígado, riñón...) y la salud del animal empieza a verse seriamente dañada.Sin embargo, una vez detectada la enfermedad la aplicación del tratamiento existente permite que los animales puedan tener una buena calidad de vida durante muchos años e incluso morir de viejos, si el ambiente es adecuado y la atención correcta. Con este tratamiento se consigue aislar el parásito en la médula y deja de ejercer su efecto, por lo que desaparecen los síntomas.En caso de no tratar al animal o de que este no responda al tratamiento, su salud va deteriorándose y se recomienda su eutanasia.PrevenciónEn la Comunidad de Madrid la Leishmaniosis es endémica en algunas zonas, al igual que en toda la costa Mediterránea y está presente en otras regiones del interior.Si su perro no recibe protección alguna, el riesgo de contraer la enfermedad varía entre un 3% y un 18%. El riesgo siempre aumenta si el animal permanece más en zonas rurales y periurbanas, en regiones cálidas del país y si está fuera de casa al anochecer.Al no existir de momento una vacuna la única lucha contra la enfermedad es la prevención: El mosquito vive en primavera y verano, e incluso en otoño si éste es cálido, siendo especialmente activo en el crepúsculo y al amanecer, y durante la noche. Por lo tanto, se recomienda no sacar al animal a la intemperie durante esos momentos y que duerma en el interior; además de aplicar durante esas épocas productos repelentes e insecticidas con la frecuencia y en la dosis que nos recomiende nuestro veterinario.Igualmente es aconsejable que cada año en otoño-invierno se realice al animal una prueba específica para la detección de esta enfermedad, ya que el tratamiento es más efectivo si se diagnostica pronto.TratamientoSi se observan los síntomas clínicos de la enfermedad, lleve su perro a una clínica veterinaria para realizar una prueba serológica y así confirmar si realmente padece la enfermedad. El tratamiento tendrá más éxito si se inicia en las primeras fases de la enfermedad, de ahí la importancia de realizar análisis anuales.El tratamiento suprime los síntomas y puede permitir una buena calidad de vida a su animal durante muchos años si la respuesta al mismo es positiva.Los fármacos utilizados consisten en comprimidos de alopurinol, así como en compuestos antimoniales (glucantime), que se aplican según prescripción del veterinario, que adaptará el tratamiento a las necesidades de cada caso concreto. Se deben hacer controles periódicos 2 o 3 veces al año, para ver la evolución de la enfermedad y detectar posibles recaídas, en cuyo caso se tiene que repetir el tratamiento.

Costes aproximados del tratamiento:
Pruebas: IFI + proteinograma + básico:
35,00€ (2 ó 3 veces al año)
Alopurinol: Zyloric 300 (caja de 30 comprimidos, para un mes)
3,43 €
Glucantime (caja de 10 ampollas)
4,93 € *
* (para una terapia de 30 días de un perro grande se necesitan por regla general 6 cajas a base de 2 dosis diarias de 5 ml cada una).

REGINA... her pain at mass abuse, su dolor con un abuso massiva..

REGINA AT RAINBOW BRIDGE, rest in peace lil one!

This is one of the toughest cases, thats rocked animal loving people in Spain for its vulgar abuse and pure pleasure at causing an animal grief and pain beyond words! Its clear how there is NATIONAL LAW as I ask myself "just what would happen if this case happened in an animal loving country? Would there be justice, would it even happen?" Well there is cruelty everywhere, in every country, but Spain has an acceptance of abuse, it reminds me alot of the sickness in China, Japan with the way in which abuse is accepted.

Here's reginas story. May you live on Regina, in our hearts and carry us forward and help us achieve a law, so your pain was not in vain may your torturers be caught and be given the jail sentance they deserve! The photos are terribly gruesome, and I am one who does not shy away from such photos, however i know not everyone is not like that and can see the pictures and then quickly turn away without even knowing what happened. So... I leave you with her story, her peticion below and also under the peticion heading on this site. Please take a moment and sign it, it will help more than you know. Please her pain was dreadful as she met her end.. lets stand up once and for all and say NO to abuse to animals!

Her Story..



Regina era una mastina de cinco años que fue recogida en el refugio de Carcaixent (Valencia) a la espera de una adopción. Desgraciadamente, encontró la muerte ya que unos individuos irrumpieron en el recinto, robaron varios perros y a Regina la torturaron, abusaron sexualmente de ella introduciéndole objetos en el ano y la apalearon hasta la muerte.Pedimos al ayuntamiento de Carcaixent y organismos que correspondan que pongan todos los medios posibles para que actos tan brutales e inhumanos no vuelvan a suceder y que se persiga y condene severamente a los culpables.Regina sufrió una tortura difícil de imaginar y no merece que su caso sea olvidado. Pedimos justicia para Regina y para todos los animales que sufren maltrato y abandono.

Regina was a Mastine, female dog of 5 years of age. She was rescued by the refuge at Carcaixent (Valencia) waiting her turn to be adopted. She did nothing to anyone, just there waiting to be saved by a family, which one day may come... or as so many know may not. Hope for regina was always there - as there is for so many dogs.
Sadly she met her death because some cruel cruel monstors broke into the refuge through the fence, and tortured Regina, until her end. They stole several dogs, of which 2 were found wandering close by, the other remains to be seen. Regina, howevers abuse must have gone on and on. They beat her, and beat her and beat her, tied up her front paws with wire, and beat her to a pulp. She was barely recognisable. Horrifically as if this pain was not enough they continued to abuse her sexually, raped, and place objects in her which I have not placed as a photo on the site. I never ever shy away from what I call "seeing the truth" and I am a GREAT believer thats when people should say HEY Im not taking this anymore, I count and I add myself to the many who fight for the animals.... but her photo is degrading and I save her that. They used her passageways to beat and then put things inside her, of which one of the photos shows clearly on her anus. This I hope will be used as proof if these monstors are caught. Now the refuge fears for the remainding dogs and for themselves. There is a BIG security issue and they are trying to move as many dogs to other places as they can.

I pray they are caught and that they are made an example of, that eginas case makes many wake up and say there is mass abuse in Spain. Over breeding with a massive lack of knowledge of sterilisation and the idea of it being natural to keep a dog without castration. Spain has a problem... our hope is that the officials wake up and say hey, its time to make a law!

Rest in peace now Regina.. run free at rainbow bridge, be cared for and loved. You wont be forgotten and I am so sorry you suffered so much, for just having been born a dog and been abandoned!!

Is there a family for a German Shephard, after so much abuse?





A German sherpards cry for help!




I find myself on occasion slipping away from call of the galgos and entering into cases which draw me close. Close to pain which is just pulls my heart strings and I cannot help myself in offering what little publicity i can give to a case - in the hope that there may be a happy ending for publishing the case.


I will ALWAYS write for the galgos and always look for publicity, they are my calling and I cannot stop it. However i am drawn to introduce 2 shocking cases, just to give you an idea of what its like to be a dog i Spain, and even less a galgo,one which isnt even classified as a dog, more a tool.




This time the case is a 2 year old German Shephard. From day one he was given to irrersponsible hands where he suffered tremendous beatings, and was a punch bag to remove his humans frustration out on. He was only fed bread, if lucky, and was tied up all the time. Much like most dogs in Spain. Mentality doesnt allow dogs to be free. He was cold, overheated, in the rain, put up with all sorts of weathers in the one hope to be free. One day taken out to the countyside, hidden he was found by some foreigen people, he thought his luck was in... he'd made it to peace.. wrong they took him back to the land where the owner had always tied him up where he endured yet another beating. There was no other choice, I thought this was it for me, worth no more worth no other opportunity, he'd never felt love or warmth from anyone. The owner who has him wants rid of him his neighbours have seen the way he treats him, and are leaving threatening notes in his letter box... this could be the one opportunity this dog has to find true peace and love. Time is essential, this owner wants rid and will abandon the dog or worse. The pressure is on to find him a family who will offer him toe love he has never had! Could that be you... ? If so, please contact the telephone number below and ask for AMaya. Good luck lil one... you sure deserve it!




Hola, soy un pastor aleman, un perrito de dos añitos que ha llevado una vida muy mala desde que nació. Cuando tan solo era un cachorro me dieron a un hombre irresponsable que me pegaba, me daba de comer pan duro, me tenia atado todo el tiempo, nevara, hiciese frio, calor o lluvia, nunca me sacaba a pasear y me privaba del cariño que necesitaba. Un día de suerte me sacó a dar una vuelta por el campo, y huí con tan mala suerte que unos extranjeros me cogieron, me llevaron a su parcela y me pegaron una paliza. Unos dias más tarde volvia a estar con mi dueño, que me encontró vagando por el pueblo sin aliento. Volvía a estar con la persona que me pegaba y me desatendia pero no podía hacer otra cosa. Ese parecía mi destino...no sentir el amor ni el cuidado de nadie nunca. Ahora mi dueño quiere deshacerse de mi porque los vecinos, al ver en que condiciones me tiene y cómo me trata, le están amenazando dejándole notitas anónimas en el buzón. Quizá esta pueda ser mi oportunidad de que alguien me quiera un poco...de tener la familia que nunca tuve....sólo necesito que me den una oportunidad...porque mi dueño ante las amenazas esta a punto de abandonarme o algo peor...por favor, dadme una última oportunidad, no os defraudaré. Para ayudar a este perrito contactar a cualquier hora con Amaya (voy a utilizar un pseudónimo por si casualmente le llegan noticias de esto al dueño).

NOVEDADES....

Te cuento un poco las novedades con respecto al pastor alemán :-) Antes antes de ayer por fin el dueño nos dió la cartilla e hicimos el cambio de titular y ayer nos dió al perro y nos lo hemos llevado a una finca en la que va a estar provisionalmente hasta que le encontremos adoptante, pero vamos que ¡¡prueba superada!! Al menos ya no está ahi solito, y aunque en la finca no va a estar como con una familia, le van a ciudar super bien, vamos que van a ser unas vacaciones en toda regla para el perro, ya que esto no es un albergue, sino un lugar donde la gente lleva a los perros cuando se va de vacaciones, de ahí que nos cueste un dinero al mes, pero vamos que confío en que con una difusión eficiente logremos entre todos buscarle un hogar y en definitiva darle otra oportunidad a este perro, que se lo merece! Ha sido buenísimo, ibamos con él en el coche, y se ha portado como un campeón, y eso que hacia ya 1 año que no le veiamos y yo creo que ya se habia olvidado de nosotros. Estoy muy contenta porque ahora ya está el camino abierto de verdad para que tenga una vida como se merece. Mil gracias por toda tu ayuda Te mando unas fotos para que difundas si puedes y mi teléfono: 651721801 Gracias y un abrazo!


The Latest on the poor german Shephard looking for a home ... finally he was handed over to a rescuer and has been taken to a finca where he will stay until he finds an adoption. these things are always complicated, since there is always a hurry to get a dog out of a situation which can turn or is unpleasant. The safety for all, is always a concern and so the threat remains and the dog must find a forever home, whereby he will be safe forever. He has been wonderful, its costly keeping him at the finca which is not ideal but its a place of residency which costs us money each month. We left his traumaed home in the car and he behaved like a champion. Now the road is wide open for him to find happiness and joy. Thanks for passing this case on, and hope we can find a home for this special dog. Telephone above or please email me and i will pass on the details of the rescuer comdelrio@hotmail.com

THe courage of a mama Galga ... and her survival to protect them...





Introducing another Brave Galga and her babies... yet another SOS!!!


This is the short story of a galga Mother and her puppies. 4 of them. Found on a plot of land doing her best to keep her babies alive. Malnourished but alive! Meanwhile she fought a massive wound, as you can see from the photos. All 5, the galga mother and her pups are looking for foster care, or adoptions. Of course once the mother has recovered. They are in Sevilla and the pups are now eating by themselves.


They need somewhere to take sanctuary, recover from their life of hell which is shown in the photos, and hope of a new life.


The price paid for this, being born a galgo.. its inexcusible, there is no justice for the galgos, for the assoc. who fight to protect and heal them, its abuse which is accepted either by not knowing, or not knowing what to do about it.

Give a galgo a chance, they make the most wonderful pets, so serene and noble, always by your side. If yo can help, please call Claudia below. Good luck family!

Jan & the progress made!!! (story below)








This is Jan. The progress that he is making is good. However slow! From the photos you see before and after. Thanks to degalgos he will have a 2nd chance however he will be hard to place with a family as he has special needs.

Jan went through HELL, he had a nail in his head, a metal wire wrapped rounf his paw which had started to grown new skin over the top of it and had other complaints and points of abuse. His case is special, he is a galgo who would steal your heart for he has been through so very much. Each galgo has their own story of their hell and suffering, Jans left behind and ignored by the builders who were feeding the other strays but not jan, he was a "galgo" who could find his own way in their words!


He has had immense care and attention and his progress is good. At the moment he won't be operated on as his carers are waiting to see how he goes with the low doses of cotisone having had a week pain free, and also to see how his treatment goes for his nervous system.


For further information on JAN, please contact the web page below, or myself.

THE FUR TRADE.. THE BATTLE COMMENCES? ARE YOU GUILTY OF WEARING FUR?

http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=fur_farm&Player=wm&speed=med

I write in red, for thats what I see when I imagine bodies wripped apart writhing in raw agaony, at the hands of men who just dont give a damn. I watched this video or one similar and i rmember the head of the animal who looked up and into the camera, it will haunt me forever!! I have NO idea how anyone would even do a job like this, ripping skins of bodies live or dead.. it makes no odds its a disgrace to wear FUR!
I congratulate PETA on all they do for the animals, however this is one of my most passionate hates, PURE AGONY caused for people in countries where we call ourselves civilised... if we condemn the chinese for doing what they do, they do it because people from our countries .. wear FUR! The answer is... DONT WEAR FUR AT ANY PRICE!

Some animal died a painful death, an agonising death, because its fate fell into the hands of people who were to persicute it and murder it, rob it of life and of its skin. A rape, and left until a last breath takes the poor animal away from its pain.

Read the link, if you cant handle the video, it is very disturbing and many can only handle a minute, I watched the whole thing because I believe in not closing my eyes, however hard and sickening it is to me, its more so to the animal who has died, or is left dying. I have a choice to turn away, the animals don't, this is why I watch the harsh videos because they are REAl, it HAPPENS, and I wont turn away. I crumble at the thought and image of their agony, but I wil always endeavour to help where I can, and support PETA in a battle that needs to be won.

DONT BUY FUR!

NEWS ON THE GALGA FROM TOLEDO Noticias sobre la galga de Toledo!


The news on the Galga from Toledo was that she was rescued as you can see below. However since placing the news on my site that she was rescued, I wanted to let you know her bleeding was because she had not been able to take out the after birth from having given birth, she also had Kidney failure and she was hospitalised during 6 days. This weekend she will be going to her foster family, to be socialised, - they have hurt her tremendously, (whoever had her) and she is terrified. Her 4 puppies are perfectly well, still in the hospital, and tube fed, this weekend they will be going to 2 families for their foster care where they will stert to be bottle fed every 3 hours.



I would like to add that this very special galga is not the only galga, nor is she one in 100 she is 1 of thousands and thousands and thousands of galgos throughout Spain who has been terrorised at the hands of man. been taken advantage of, beaten mentally and physically and still tried to do their best for the monstor who has them. Its a dark dark world if you are a galgo in Spain, the only light comes from the guardian angels who rescue 365 days a year, with no thanks, no help, and immense vet bills that reach into the thousands. you barely hear them complain, they suffer in my eyes an abusement like the galgos do.. taken advantage of because they care, we care, we the galgo lovers of Spain and all over the world MUST stand up and say NO MORE ABUSE!!!!! The galgos are depending on us!



A día de hoy puedo decirte que la mamá galga ya se encuentra bien; tuvo un fallo renal y estuvo hospitalizada durante 6 días. Este fin de semana entraba en una familia de acogida para socializar, le han debido hacer mucho daño y es muy temerosa. Sus 4 cachorritos se encuentran perfectamente, hospitalizados para poder ser alimentados por sonda, y este fin de semana ya se les trasladaban a 2 familias de acogida que comenzarán a darles el biberón cada 3 horas..
