  • Galgo Bono with Galgos 112 – hoping for a forever home

    From Galgos 112

    Hi I’m Bono! I’m one and a half years old and they say I’m very friendly and loving. Still hard to believe what happened to me. I lived with my other galgo friends, we shared games and food in a pen. Every once in a while our owner would take us for a run in the middle of the olives, he would get very pleased if we chased the rabbits.

    But one day, when I saw him coming to the pen, I thought it was time to go out to chase rabbits, as always I climbed a jump into the trunk of the car but it took longer to arrive than usual, my owner stopped the engine, as other times he opened the trunk and I jumped outside, but that day there was something strange, my owner, without looking at me, got back in the car, started and left leaving me there alone. I didn’t understand anything.

    From Galgos 112

    This preciousness with so much sadness in her gaze, came to us to the limit of her strength, pregnant and exhausted. The next day, feeling safe, she gave birth to her 4 dead babies due to the misery and lack of care she has suffered. She’s been under treatment for the infection and is already recovering.

    You have to take that sad look out of her, she must know love, life full of care and happiness.

    We ask for foster or adoption for her, she is sweet, calm and when you pamper her she thanks them not moving from your side.

    If you can help her, write with your address and phone number (essential) to info@galgos112.com

    From Galgos 112

    There are some especially bloody cases, and it’s not just when they arrive injured or broken, but also for other reasons.

    For example we have Celina, who has just joined the family of Galgos 112.

    At 11 years old Celina has been abandoned and has arrived to us with several injuries such as being bitten by another dog. They don’t have much importance and they are almost healed, but Celina is very sad, she doesn’t understand where she is or what happened to her. Being in a residence surrounded by unknown dogs doesn’t help either…

  • Galgo Morgan with Galgos 112 – hoping for his forever home

    112Morgan 2 350
    Introducing Morgan with Galgos 112. Morgan is a young galguit, not even two years old, who was abandoned by some soulless in a village. The kennel was warned but he got lucky and finished us. Since then he is in residence and he is spending it there regularly, he is a very sensitive greyhound and he is not used to both dogs and barking.

    Already been to the vet and his blood tests are good, dewormed and vaccinated.

    He’s pretty calm in nature. A little unconfident with strangers but loving with the people they meet.

    We are looking for Morgan a quiet family that lives in an area without a lot of noise of people and cars. No need for them to have another dog, we think Morgan, although she gets along smoothly with other dogs, can get used to being the only dog in her family.
    He can also live with cats.

    If you would like to foster or adopt Morgan write to info@galgos112.com and tell us your town and a contact phone number.
