I am fostering Colate. He is a magnificent chocolate- coloured galgo, with amber eyes. He thought he had found his forever family, but has come back to me because their home situation changed.
He was brought out of Spain by L’Europe des Levriers as a pitifully thin dog, covered in scars. After 4 months of feeding up, he is now extremely handsome. His scars have covered and his coat gleams.
He’s about four years old, extremely affectionate and loving – considering the background he probably came from – and gets on with all my other dogs, including my lurcher, who is the Alpha dog.
Colate is not an aggressive dog – in fact he’s pretty typical of the galgo breed – loves long walks, curling up at my feet or in front of the wood burner, car rides, and playing ball.
He needs a large garden to stretch his legs, with a high fence, as he sometimes thinks he can fly when he sees a crane or buzzard overhead.
One thing he won’t be able to live with is cats – luckily mine keep well away from our dogs!
He is house trained, knows basic commands and will be best suited in a home without small children, where there are people about during the day, as he likes company.
He is microchipped, vaccinated and castrated.
His previous adoptants had to start visiting the UK alternately to work, which upset Colate, and then they got a cat.
As we foster dogs for EDL, we would prefer him to find his own forever home. He really deserves to have people to love him and return the enormous amount of love he has to give.
Contact me through Galgo News, or L’Europe des Levriers – there is an English section.
