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

Thank you SO MUCH for your help

Message from GPA/Emerald Coast President Anne Bollens

Thank you so very much! You and your bidders were very generous and very kind. We will use this donation to help move dogs from the Pensacola and Ebro tracks, here in the FL Panhandle, to non-racing states. We also currently have in our program several greyhounds who were formerly in the Ron Williams/Harold Williams kennel. We brought these dogs in from either Mobile or JCKC for placement through our program. It is thanks to the generosity of our friends that we are able to extend a helping hand to these guys to start them on their adoption journey.

The first 8 dogs, the ones who started the entire investigation of Ron Williams, have now been released by the sheriff’s department for adoptive placement. We will begin vetting them next week. I am so excited that we can now begin to help these hounds along the adoption path.

We deeply appreciate your time and effort on behalf of our greys,

Ann Bollens, President

170.000 $ in fines and his license revoked

That's what the greyhoundtrainer that abused 37 greyhounds and killed most of them is facing according to the News Herald.
To me a disappointing result. It is very likely he will file for bankruptcy and will never be really punished for killing these poor animals.

We did it!!!

Thanks everyone, a minute ago I could donate a total of $ 805.00 US to GPA Emerald Coast!

You guys are the best.
