Auction of Prints for Spanish Galgos

The Galgos and Podencos of Spain are sighthounds that are used for hunting.
They get a tough life in Spain and many thousands are rescued every year from horrible lives and many die from posoining or road accidents.
I lived in Spain for 2 years and it was always so sad to see so many dogs running loose and virtually starving to death. One dear girl came to my house in the mountains, she had been hit by a car and was in a terrible state but wouldn't let anyone get near her. She stayed outside around the back of the house where she felt safest and would try to drag herself away if I looked at her. If I turned my head away so that she didnt feel so threatened I could get near enough to put down food and water. She ate well and stayed until she was fit enough to go on her way again but was never trusting enough to allow herself to be touched.
PRO-GALGO's are having an auction of paintings and are hoping to
raise lots of money to help save spanish dogs.
Check out the auction of fantastic hound prints which opened on
saturday 1st Nov and runs for 2 weeks.
The prints were donated by Lisa Ballard and all money raised
