You remember the story of Estrela, the galga maltreated by an alcoholic and his heroin addict wife – many of you good people donated to pay for special milk feed for Estrela to be able to feed her pups, and have medication for pneumonia, and she was eventually allowed to be taken by Teresa to her shelter. Estrela now needs a foster or, even better, an adoption family. Here is what Ines says.

Portuguese galgos – update
Update on the Portuguese galgos. One hunter has been busy killing puppies before Teresa could save them. But here’s the news about the first galga Estrela. Ines reports. ‘regarding that horrible man getting rid of all pups but 2 :(. We are not exactly sure what happened, but apparently he killed them, but won’t give us any more details… we just can wait for Estrela to leave this place.
Estrela is only mentally slighty better from the abuse she was given. She is on special high energy feed, plus a mix of raw green beef tripe and liver, and Anima-Strath supplements. She has also been wormed twice. Her owner has finally allowed us to take her to the vet this week, so she can get tests done to see why isn’t she putting more weight.
