This is Ruso with his forever family in America. Ruso was discovered in Los Infiernos refuge in Murcia by Tina, a volunteer. Unbeknowst to her, he had lain for four or five days severely injured and in great pain, unable to stand, feed himself……..as soon as Tina discovered him, she took him out of the refuge, where the owners were intending to kill him, and through contact with Silvia in Valencia, he was transported to her centre for treatment by her vet and rehabilitation by Silvia. What a fantastic story, thanks to everyone involved, including Tina who prevented Los Infiernos from killing him, Silvia and her vet for his rehabilitation,to Greyt Friends, Inc., in Marietta GA who travelled to Spain to bring Ruso to the United States and fostered him until he was ready to move to his new home in Colorado and also GRIN. A happy ending for one deserving survivor of the annual massacre.

Thanks also to Greyt Friends, Inc., in Marietta GA who traveled to Spain to bring Ruso to the states and fostered him until he was ready to move to his new home in Colorado.
Mary, it was my pleasure to help with Ruso…his foster family deserves the credit..I just provided Ruso with travel connections and enjoyed his antics so much..
We’re ready to help another one or two..
Wonderful wonderful people in Spain are The Best..They deserve every credit possible..
Andy/Ruso is home now with us in Highlands Ranch, CO and we are loving each more and more. He gets along well with his brother Alloway, seven year old greyhound, Ariel, eight year old female, and Abby formerly Julia, our six year old Galga. What a greyt family. My husband Paul and I are retired so we love have these wonderful companions to spend our days with. Andy loves the Colorado sunshine and spends some time each day sun bathing. He is eating well and is being cared for by our veterinarian so help with his leg problems. Thanks to all the wonderful people who made this adoption possible.
With much love and gratitude,
Mayme and Paul Gigl
Absolutely wonderful what this woman did for this Galgo.
I wish they could all be saved Spain needs to look at itself and the way they treat their animals.
Bonjour
Everyone involved in Ruso/Andys journey from the Los Infiernos refuge to his forever home with you has done an incredible job – and it is hats off to this marvellous boy that he has taken it all in his stride. The resilience of these dogs never ceases to amaze me, and I believe that is why so many of us to the utmost to help them, and feel such anger and hatred against the perpetrators of their maltreatment.
Bless you all.

another happy ending wish all endings could be like that well done every one involved jen
