From death row in Gesser perrera to home life in Switzerland

Gesser galga original 400In December 2012 I posted an appeal for help for some galgos in Gesser Perrera, Cadiz. The staff were leaving for Xmas holiday and putting down the dogs in the perrera. Here is the story and some delightful photos of one of the lucky ones, saved and now living a lovely life in Swizerland. Marianne tells her story.

‘We got her through Lavida “https://www.facebook.com/Tierschutz.LAVIDA/” that was the association, but the contact person in switzerland was “Jackys Hundehort”. I don’t remember the name of the spanish shelter where she came from to Switzerland. I just remember that the Spanish woman (who gave her the name Linda) was very caring. I met her at the airport in Zurich.’

Always lovely to read a happy ending. Enjoy these photos of Linda.

    Yes 😀 and I found that picture of her only by coincidence, now after she lives with us for four years allready,because I wanted to show galgo puppies to my boyfriend…wich in fact I’ve never seen either, even in Spain not🤔. When I saw the photograph I was convinced it is Linda. And all people that know her well comfirmed that it must be her. Same face, same look..so glad she found her way to our family. We all love her, she’s quite a character! She has some traumas and yes the…hunting…but apart of that she is just handsome lovely amd always friendly and gentle. Thanx to all the galgo rescuers out there!
