So much has been happening recently at Galgos del Sol but then, that's nothing new. New arrivals just pour in as fast as others are found loving homes for. Everyone involved works flat out, there's no reprieve. Tina often has around 70-80 Galgos in her care at any one time.

Mothers are sometimes found with new pups, they require lots of help, especially as, if the pups are eventually reserved to be re homed in the UK, they can't travel till they're 4 months old &, once weaned, they need expensive puppy food.

There are endless concerns about many Galgos, all of which are cared for by Tina & her volunteers & the vets at various places including the San Vincente hospital, a specialised hospital miles away at Alicante. All too often, sadly, dogs are found to be injured & need operations. The dogs are well attended to but funding is ongoing to enable this to happen, for GdS to continue its fine work. 

Funds are raised by various means, one is an online auction, another of these was held recently & it raised 4287.50€

From Tina, President of Galgos del Sol.
"Our team ran an auction recently online on Facebook. We are so thankful to all those who took part and donated or bidded. We would like to say a special thanks to Eileen Locatelli, Suzie Scott, Mandy Simpson, Marylou Hecht, Lisa Ann Knight who organised the auction and took care of it and of course to all who made the bidding happen. Thank you so, so much once again, great result as always and this money will be used on vets bills and food. Gracias amigos xxxxxxx"

BELOW: One of the many fun caption photos Tina does .. in the little free time she has.. that is topical today, the weather in Spain's getting much colder & galgos are naturally thin dogs who feel the cold.

BELOW: New boy Grati (the white one in the middle) has really settled in at GDS but he would rather have a warm sofa this winter if you've got one on offer???? Look at those pleading eyes, they so gently say "listen up, it's getting chilly in this neck of the woods and I'm expecting a home offer soon".

BELOW: New girl Rubia is finally starting to settle and take it all in her stride. She is now reserved for the USA with Sherry, who came to help GdS recently.

WOWSERS... GdS have been selected to receive $1000 from Greyhound Connection group in the USA. GDS has taken many new galgos recently and will continue to catch the ones on the streets here never turning away so this donation and the donations from our Facebook supporters & others allow us to continue this work.

Just to remind you when we take in a new galgo it's not just just space it's adoption preparation which is approx 300 euros, so the other day when we took in 3 galgos from the perrera and the podenco the next day that's almost 1000 euros right there especially as Cezar, the podenco, had complications with a testicle in his stomach.

So thank you Greyhound Connection and thank you for all your support from all around the world. You can see their group here and hopefully if you get time whizz over and say thanks for selecting GDS xxx

Sherry and Jane are here visiting from the USA. These two puppies were picked up from the streets & are now called Joey and Amalie (1 male and 1 female). If you would like to sponsor them please click this link http://www.galgosdelsol.org/sponsor-a-hound/

Thank you SO much for helping us.

These beautiful Podencos were rescued by Galgos del Sol & need homes now. 

Sol is a very scared boy who is progressing slowly and Paqui is also terrified but a curious girl. (Paqui was rescued with nine puppies). 

Both will need experiences homes.

The charity shop is in desperate need of household furniture and bigger items for us to sell for Galgos Del Sol and Los Unicos animal charity. 

Please ring Tina, President of Galgos del Sol to arrange pick up of large items, thank you.

To find the shop ...

To get to charity shop, Los Alcazares

...From Torrevieja area head towards Murcia airport then take next junction, 786

... as you come off the motorway, you come into a roundabout. Keep going left, pass the weird Arches and go in to the right, by the English restaurant The Arches. The shop is a little bit further up, same side, (around 50m).

This is the ideal way to help animal charities - who desperately rely on public goodwill - and, at the same time, offload furniture you now are updating especially larger items you can't transport yourselves.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US, IT IS SO MUCH APPRECIATED. COME VISIT US SOON IF YOU CAN.

There has been so much happening at Galgos del Sol but this is one story, more to come!

For some days there has been a podenca .. a new mum ..  living rough on the streets with her nine new puppies.

On 29th October Galgos del Sol arranged for a darter to hopefully put her to sleep temporarily the following day. He had a successful hit but her body resisted it and she got away. She returned safely to her babies.

The podenco pups remained on the streets with mum, it was so frustrating that no one could catch her. She was sick and wobbly. GdS was worried she'd been poisoned but still the lady, Pacqui, who was watching her, couldn't get close enough.

Suddenly, there was news today that the mum had been rescued & with her family, of course.

All credit to Paqui, above, for looking after this family whilst they tried to catch mum. She did a wonderful job and, without doubt, has saved their lives.

Now named Paqui, after the lady who had been feeding her & watching over the nine pups, mum needed an emergency vet as her mouth is bleeding heavily and so is her leg, it's also possible she has an infection from feeding the pups. She is sick and possibly needs an operation. The vet is going to try her on antibiotics first but, if no good, she will be operated on. She has a high fever and is very lucky now to get veterinary care... Phew!!!!!

If you would like to donate, via Paypal, to help Paqui and her 9 pups please do so at  http://galgosdelsol@hotmail.com Thanks everyone.
