  • Greyhound Rescue Holland help galga Dana find her forever family

    You may remember Dana, the rescued galga who became very stressed in kennels. Through a contact in Greyhound Rescue Holland, she has now found a wonderful forever home. Here’s what her new Mom says.

    ‘Dana is already changing a lot inside and outside. In the beginning she was frightened of bicycles, not of motorbikes or cars, but this is improving. She walks perfectaly on the lead, when I stop, she stops and when I continue, she continues. She is still afraid of men although she doesn´t hide anymore, just barks at them. When my husband is at home she walks around with no problem and he can caress her without problem and she accepts biscuits from him, so that is improving as well. She is especially fond of me and she likes the children a lot.

Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous? And also Dana, a galga in kennels who is very stressed by her situation.

    Charl’s association 112carlotagalgos, is just born, and so doesn’t have any backup funds -any which have been donated so far have gone out immediately to pay for vet fees and kennel costs for these two deserving dogs.

    Mary 1 Charl 08 2010 250 Mary has now been bathed, wormed, flea treatment, ticks removed, and taken to the vet – age estimated just 5-6 months old. See how tiny she is, sitting next to the laundry basket! Not surprisingly, she has no microchip. She has tested negative for leishmania, just waiting for the results for ehrlichia and filaria. These should be back in a couple of days, and then she will be vaccinated etc. Once this has been done, she will go to the kennels with Dana.
