  • Free to a Good Home – would you do this to a child?

    Taken off my FB wall

    FREE TO A GOOD HOME: 2 year old child. Genuine reason, I’ve just got a new puppy so no longer have the time for the child. Also worried the child may bite the puppy. Child is crate trained and up to date on all shots. Needs home by tomorrow or it’ll be put to sleep. Thanks! YOU WOULDN’T DO THIS TO A CHILD SO WHY DO U SEE IT AS ACCEPTABLE TO DO IT TO A DOG? If you can’t dedicate 15yrs to a dog, don’t get one!! ;-)..

    So many stories continue to arrive in my Inbox, not just for help for galgos and podencos but other dogs as well. As I speak, efforts are being made by volunteers to catch a family of podencos, other galgos loose on the streets of several towns…..it is never ending.

    This story is one example of a week in the life of a volunteer.
