This is the story in pictures of the capture of galgo Zoe and her pups, out in the wilds of Murcia. It took a week to catch her, adn then only by using a tranquiliser dart. Thanks to the incredible team of Tina and Gill of Galgos del Sol and to Antonio with his dart gun.

And you can also read about Leanne; they’ve been trying for 18 months to catch her!

It’s another example of what so many of the rescue associations and volunteers cope with, the strain of what they live with, and how long it can take to catch a frightened galga.

These photos tell the story from when Zoe was first spotted, along with her pups, through to working at gaining her trust, to bringing other galgos near in the hope she would come and be caught, to finally catching her and getting her and her pups back to the refuge and safety.
