I posted about Janet before, with Ana & Ronaldo, see here >>

What a poppet this girl is. Not dominant in anyway, always waitd her turn for treats, just so sweet and gentle. 

Contact Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com  Thank you.

See previous two posts to learn what happened to Valiente.

Please >>

and then >>

Here's Valiente, as the song goes 'wide eyed and legless', hope now he will be just fine!

He'll have such love & care with GdS.

for your donations, our work NEVER stops though so please think of Galgos del Sol's work & give a little.

See our website, read about our work, our happy endings, our dogs that need homes.

"Yesterday 4 galgos were spotted just locally in the streets separately, we tried to pick up one bitch, got close but she ran off.. at the moment she is a good weight, but not for long. Murcia is a difficult area for galgos, so many out there and the hunting season has just begun.

That 4 locally will soon become 8, then 13 and so on. How do we keep on top of it?????? Our priority has to be the local galgos, which means we struggle to help other areas in Murcia. The sad reality is we can only take these galgos off the streets with money.

With money we can put them into private kenneling until we have space, we don't want more caught in traps like Valiente.

If you can do a car boot, fundraiser, coffee morning, anything at all please don't be shy and get stuck in for the galgos. Small amounts all add up.

We will put in the hours... seriously you know it BUT we need funds if we are going to keep on top of this crisis that we feel is just about to snowball here.....one of our volunteers tried to catch a pregnant bitch in the late hours, she is black and in the dark eventually lost."

So ..if anyone is willing to help with a car boot, fundraiser, coffee morning, anything at all & donate the proceeds to Galgos del Sol in Murcia, please contact Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com

From Tina earlier today "Shattered bones, twisted, infection, missing toes.... there was no way to save this leg. The vet didn't even feel necessary to do an X-Ray but we wanted one. Although not clear on the photo due to the light we could actually see where the snare trap went thru... its not something that has happened recently. He would have been in agony beyond our imagination! He is now having his operation to have his leg amputated!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

We HAD to help Valiente, that's what we do! We know those who read our blog help us so please can we ask you to help us now to help Valiente? Thank you, we appreciate it so much!

This podenca, Janet, has just been caught in Pilar (Alicante), she is now with Galgos del Sol. She is 2 yrs old.

Below: Another new arrival, Ronaldo, 2 yrs old.

Loves other dogs, lives in a large pack, fairly confident with humans, can be active or lazy, either way. At exercise time he runs about and non exercise time he sleeps! Pretty good all rounder really!

Below: Yet another new arrival, Ana.

Please contact Tina on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com for further details.

Today on Galgos del Sol's Facebook page was a message from the Cesar Milan Foundation https://www.facebook.com/CesarMillanFoundation saying GO FOR IT!!

This made many peoples day, not least Tina who is the President of Galgos del Sol.

Just to say Galgos del Sol has huge committments to the galgos they're always rescuing & are always very relieved when a donation is sent to them, no matter how small so please continue to donate so GdS can continue its amazing work. Details are linked to the picture below.

This particular one, which has been sponsored & designed by DUTCHGALGOLOBBY from Holland who work on political matters for galgos here in Spain, will go up at the entrance to Ikea in Murcia.

Their webpage, and more information on their work, is here

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Organisations led by Galgos del Sol, are campaigning for more billboards to be designed & sponsored & erected in prime areas. They have another two going up ... working alongside GdS supporters & associations such as Ibizan Hounds Rescue, SOS Galgos Barcelona, A.D.A.M in Pilar de Horadada & many more.

Sadly this is not inexpensive so they need help & we know there are good kind people who do help them a lot so GdS are appealing for funding. 

They need monthly sponsors at 110€ per month to rent a billboard space. Please contact Tina (President) on galgosdelsol@hotmail.com for more details.

Valiente needs catching, he has escaped from a snare (Murcia region) by the look of one of one of his front legs. Sometimes dogs bite through their leg in order to survive, that's so shocking to imagine. The leg has become very infected & needs urgent medical attention.

Galgos del Sol have been to try to catch Valiente a few times & have taken a dog on a long lead to encourage him so they could get nearer but to no avail. They have got the trap set up so hopefully today will be THE DAY! Fingers X'd! Poor Valiente must be in total agony.

I first blogged about Nicolai here, please remind yourself of the poor soul he was at that time, covered in ticks >>

Now he has been reserved to go to live in the UK.
