Galga Una – urgent foster home or adoption – please help
Apologies for the lack of news recently. It’s not because there isn’t any news – galgos are still being abandoned and dumped in the perreras in their hundreds – Scooby and Baasgalgo have taken dozens and Pepis Refuge have had more dumped at their gates. I’m nearing completion of my next book, and that’s what has taken me away from the updates. Herewith an appeal from Jacky Cotton for help for a beautiful small galga. Jacky tells Una’s story.
‘HELP WANTED
This is Una, a 4-year-old small galgo. Although outside our normal remit – our specialisation is puppies – we could not leave her lying injured and unable to move at the side of the road, having been dragged behind a moving scooter. She was in great pain.
