  • 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.

  • Two podencas desperately needing forever homes

    FREYA Tina 09 2010 250 This is Freya, a podenca at Los Infiernos refuge, Murcia, where Tina is a volunteer. Tina explains ‘She is a podenco suffering terribly. She has been chewing at her own leg and has broken through the skin. She doesn’t want to eat and had lost a lot of weight but volunteers have been hand feeding her wet food so that is helping. I’ve had her moved to a more comfortable place in the refuge and she is improving but would like to see her leave asap. She is approx 10mths, great with people but nervous with other dogs until she gets to know them!’
