I recently wrote about Alison, please read this  first.

She has been though SO much, she's a survivor!  She is 2-3 yrs old, negative for leish, babesia, filaria and erlichia, vaccined and spayed.

President of Galgos del Sol's own words ...

"When we picked up Alison from Project Mazarron you could not catch her once off lead in the refuge, she would run and run and it was hard to give her enough human contact. The last 2 weeks we have really focused on her and boy what a difference we can see. This girl now runs to us, comes for cuddles, she is simply the sweetest galga you could ever meet. This girl is a dream, she has stolen my heart big time"

Handsome Bentley is still waiting for his forever home. He arrived with bad erlichia and non exisitent blood count, had he caught even a cold he would have probably died.

BUT now he is the picture of health and is desperate, absolutely DESPERATE, to have his own sofa!

Beautiful Bertie is still waiting for his forever. He had filaria which has now been treated but has some preventative tablets for another 3 months and then has a repeat blood test. His previous repeat test was negative - GREAT NEWS.

He is ready to go now if an adopter understands what is required to do the best by Bertie. Do they get anymore beautiful than this?????

Bertie has been sponsored by Nico Dog Rescue! With thanks!

UPDATED 20th August: Bertie is going to Galgo V Nouzi (Czech) Excellent.

Remember Washington, the galgo from project Mazarron with his testicles badly ripped open and infected? Well he is now reserved for Belgium, alongside Philidelpia and Claude.

Thanks Andreas Animal rescue for fostering both Washington and Phili for us and to Nico Dog Rescue for sponsoring Claude. Big thanks to Greyhounds Rescue Belgium!

There is no doubt Mr Grey has been beaten by men. He is terrified of them!  He is approx 3yrs old, negative for leish, filaria and erlichia, vaccined, castrated and is desperate for some real one on one attention in his forever home.

He is with Galgos del Sol, Murcia who don't advise he is homed with young children, he is not aggresive but just scared so will bark to protect himself. In an experienced home then this could be different of course, GdS will assess each application individually.

Please think about if you could offer Mr Grey his forever home. Look at this poor frightened boy.

Tina reassuring Mr Grey that he will never be hurt again!

The latest billboard is at Dos Mares, Murcia, by the shopping mall, but sponsors are needed to enable GdS to afford to have more erected. Also, once they're erected it costs quite a lot to keep them there month after month.

 Lola says "Hi everyone, since being rescued from the rubbish container my life has got much better. This sofa with this nice pillow is just a tad better better than laying on broken glass don't you think?

Thank you to all of you who donated for me. I am so loved, I never thought this was possible, xx"

This is Lorenzo

He is still waiting for his forever home. He is approximately 2 - 3 yrs old & negative for Leish, Filaria & Erlicia but positive for babesia for which he is receiving treatment. (UPDATE: HIS TREATMENT FINISHED SEPT 2012)

To the UK this will be 1 extra euro, within Europe 2.5 euros and to the rest of the world 3.5 euros. We can do combined postage on multiple orders.

A big thank you to the artist Suzanne Le Good, we'd seen the greyhound version of this sign that she designed and contacted her about doing a galgo version for GdS. She kindly redid the artwork free of charge to make the hound look more like a galgo, complete with a long pointy nose.

Alison is still waiting for her forever home. She is very nervous still but now being worked with one to one to try and improve her confidence. She is 2-3 yrs old, negative for leish, babesia, filaria and erlichia, vaccined and spayed.

Ready for her new home, please help little Alison who came from Project Mazarron!

Details are from galgosdelsol@hotmail.com in Murcia.

Nicolai had been on the streets for some in time in Pilar de Horadada. Antonio from Los Infiernos managed to get him and Galgos del Sol offered to take him as he is quite frightened and Los Infiernos has over 100 dogs.

We would appreciate any donations for him.

GdS has many changes right now as we have moved to larger premises to help more galgos. We need free fencing, privacy fencing, filing cabinet, scalibor collars, frontline, anything at all you can offer us, to help! Many thanks.

BELOW: Nicolai comes to GdS.

BELOW: These photos show just how badly one of his ears has been ripped & both ears are covered in ticks.

Nicolai was treated & lost the ticks, making him feel a lot better.

He also has just had his blood results back and is negative for leish , filaria, babesia and erlichia... he now needs his forever home.

Coming soon in the new GdS online shop.

Galgo car signs.

Isn't this one perfect?

Claude is great with people and with other dogs. He has been waiting a while now... neg for disease and ready to go... approx 5yrs old! HE IS GORGEOUS!

Henry is still waiting for his forever home. You will not find a more loyal, waggy tailed galgo than Henry. He has been in a foster home so is fairly well adapted to home life. He is just wonderful.....ALWAYS SMILING.
