Friday’s Fiver No 10

This week’s donation goes to Galgos del sol a rescue based in Spain that rescues unwanted galgos.

From their website:

Welcome to GALGOS DEL SOL SOCIEDAD PROTECTORA DE ANIMALES NIF/CIF:G30856736

Galgos del Sol is a small rescue based in Murcia. GdS rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK & other parts of Europe.  Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane.  Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run by two dedicated women, Tina and Suzie with huge support from Beryl Brennan & other dedicated volunteers based in Spain, France and the UK.
