THE MOVE:

As the lease on the 112 Carlota Galgos finca is coming to an end, they have been very lucky to be offered to long term rent a finca almost next door. A finca twice the size,also with an orchard, room to build kennels, land, stables, storage space, garden, play area and field, coupled with a house. It will be the perfect opportunity to move the galgos to a place where they can play out, still be trained and socialised on the walks, have everything at hand, and be on call at the same time. Charlotte would never consider having the galgos somewhere if there is not the security measure of someone being on the property. The risks are too great.

The move is not easy and not cheap - 6 new bays are needed, flooring, drains, pipes, fencing, gates, installation of water and electricity, septic tank, and more trees for the orchard, etc...

A BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT 112 CARLOTA GALGOS:

112 Carlota Galgos was founded in 2006 when Charlotte started to publish about the plight of the galgos, later on becoming an association which rescues as many galgos as possible, caring for them on a personal basis and socialising traumatised cases in order to be adopted

It is drastic and each association is struggling to do their very best for this special breed of dog.  We are a voluntary organisation and rely entirely on donations and money raised from various fundraising projects.  We do not receive any funding from the Government or local authority, and all the help we receive is voluntary 

 We take in galgos from across Spain – it does not matter where they come from if they are in need.  Many a galgo or podenco comes into care in tragic circumstances, poorly wounded and skeletal.  Aside from injuries which need curing, they at times need more specialist medical treatment such as a limb amputated.  Their will to survive is immense and we promise to them to heal their wounds and mend their hearts, and find a forever home for them.  The ultimate goal!  Achieving this is not cheap and without donations from kind hearted people the galgos would not make it to their ultimate goal

With the focus at the very heart of 112 Carlota galgos being children and the educational centre, the new finca presents itself as potential for this to take place.

At the very heart of 112 Carlota Galgos are Galgos and children. We take very seriously the potential which a child offers for the future. In every aspect of life, the young child is a sponge which absorbs what is around him/her. The very environment in which they grow up in, play in, live in, is what they will replicate as reality and normality. It's here where change can take place. If we make the care and welfare of an animal normality in a child’s life, it will become their reality
