Pregnant Galgas Rescued!

Christopher Plaskett June 10, 2011

After following this sad story of two two beautiful galgas used for breeding being left at the kill station by the galguero to meet their fate, they have been rescued! Maribel who is a fighter for the dogs that sit at the Jerez kill station did her usual, sending out pleas for these two lovely mamas to be.  A kill station is no place for them. The cream colored one is so close to her time, it was heartbreaking to see them there. Many good people were trying to help these two find a shelter. It is always so difficult knowing that there will not be two but maybe 10 more as well soon enough and to have the right set up for them, but the perfect temporary situation has been found with our friends Isabel and Isa of Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Sevilla. They will be taken to their new recovery center, to a clean and warm enviroment to have their little bundles of joy.  Maribel reports that the girls were inseperable when they were released and only wanted to be as close to each other as they could be. They will live and their puppies will be in a  warm and loving enviroment, not  in a cold, harsh, disease filled existence..thank you to all who offered to help. If anyone wants to help with a donation for the mamas and their babies, who will need vetting we will be happy to send the donation on to FBM..

Galgo Rescue International Network

Galgo Rescue International Network

Dedicated to the welfare of the Spanish Galgo and Sighthounds worldwide. 

 

Galgo Rescue International Network (GRIN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization run entirely by volunteers that was founded to establish a relationship between the animal shelters in Spain and animal lovers in the United States and around the world.  Our love of Greyhounds and concern for their plight drew us to their cousins — the galgos.

Working closely with Spanish shelters, GRIN raises awareness of the Spanish Greyhound's plight through international educational campaigns and fundraising.  We also aid shelters and assist with adoptions for rehomed sighthounds in the U.S. with the primary goals being to provide practical help and supplies to the Spanish shelters and to inspire change in the treatment of the Galgo Espnaõl and the Podenco through public informational and educational campaigns.
