Adopting a Rescue Dog
I’ve had rescue dogs all my life, mostly from rescue associations. Most of them have come with problems, usually as a result of bad treatment in their past. One 4-year old galga took over 2 years before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog, and that was after living with 4 other housemates. My current Spanish podenca came with a fear of men – what a surprise – after spending the first 7 years of her life shut in a shed and just let out for hunting. Even after over 4 years in our home, she is still nervous of men and many life situations.
So it is vitally important to understand the problems which adopting a rescue dog will bring with them, needing much patience whilst they adjust to home life, new people and situations.

Galgo Batman hoping for a forever home
BATMAN – Small in size, black and white, with the sweet face of a puppy, Batman is a gentle, sensitive, and very kind galgo. The shelter is far too difficult an environment for him. Being small and delicate, he struggles in such an intense and competitive setting. He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a calm, protected home where he can live peacefully, relax, and feel safe.
Like many male galgos, Batman is affectionate, tender, and forms a deep bond with people. He is also good with other dogs. Batman needs peace, love… and a real chance.

Galga Dani with Protectora Scooby Medina hoping for her forever home
This is the beautiful galga Dani with Protectora Scooby who is hoping for her forever home. If you have room in your home and heart for her, contact Scooby direct.
Her photo really pulled at my heart strings as she is the twin of one of my galgas, Carmela, who I adopted after she had spent 4 years at the hands of a hunter who maltreated her. It took over 2 years of her living with my galga gang before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog. Very much loved and remember.
My Carmela
