Galga Orla with Galgos en Familia – hoping for a forever home
From Galgos en Familia‘Today we are going to talk to you about Orla.
Orla is a 7-year-old Galgo female, she was rescued by our colleagues from Siempre Contigo en Rota, there the owner took them, with a clear message: “o las cogéis or las quito de enmedio”, yes, of course. (You take her or I’ll get rid of her’).
Orla’s life hasn’t been easy, her scars and the state of her body, tell us that she knows pain well and what it’s like to give birth in every heat.
Luckily all that is now behind and Orla has started a new life, a life in which there is affection, care and respect. Orla is a very grateful girl, close, caring and quiet, she still must adapt to city life, traffic, noise, etc…but we know little by little she will get it.

The Pods welcome every dog, man, tree, blade of grass with endless, constantly changing, body language and facial expressions.The First Five Minutes after Arrival;
The galgos are running like crazy.
The Pods dig up seventy small animals, they create mounds of undefinable mud, which sticks to everything it touches. -

FAUDA – Federation of United Associations for the Defence of Animals – on Gran Canaria recently supported the Campaign against hunting dogs being exclused from the Animal Protection Act.
