The galgo's are drowning


Dear friends
This is a desperate call for help.
On the 18th of May a terrible rainfall completely detriyed the shelterof BaasGalgo, in the city of Rio, in Southern Spain.
100 Spanish greyhounds (galgos) have nowhere to live, a lot have died already. All our buildings have been destroyed. The situation is awful. We can say that WE HAVE LOST EVERYTHING. A group of volunteers is trying to find shelter for the galgos and to rescue whatever material we can, but the facilities have been so badly affected that we don’t think we’ll manage to save anything. On top of that we have lost all of the medicines for the galgos, their beds, food, basically everything.
This catastrophe means that everything BassGalgo worked for in these past few years has gone to pieces in this flood.
However, we must keep fighting. Maybe, with your help, will we be able to start building some facilities and give shelter to these 100 galgos in the near future. It’s really hard to believe but we might just make it, with your support. We promise to keep you informed of all the evolutions.
Any type of help will be welcome. You can join us in this email addess : info@baasgalgo.com. You can also help us financially on the following account
