Sad news today. Tina, who rescued the beautiful galga which she took home, hoping to adopt, has had to take the galga back to the refuge. Sadly, the dog was afraid of children. This is what Tina says.
'Well we went to the refuge. Straight away she starting fighting against going in, as she was terrified. I felt sick. I realize now that I crossed a line. I took her from the roads, she had to stay overnight at my home as it was late, and I got attached and couldn't leave her there. Had I left her at the refuge the first time she might have got used to it by now.
I think this last month has got on top of me, I'm seeing abandoned galgos everywhere, another one today and it is just so upsetting all the time. The son of the refuge owner thinks I should take some time out as I am so upset. It's people like us who take the responsibility of the hunters abandoning their dogs, and we get so upset.
I feel so bad it didn't work out, I couldn't possible feel worse, so now it's all hands on deck to find her a good home without children. She needs a quiet life with another dog as a companion and a retired owner. I going to find her that'.
As I have keep saying, those of us who do not live with the effects of the hunters lack of care cannot possibly imagine what the volunteers go through.
Good news about two of the dogs Tina help, Azbache and Brunita are now ready to fly to new homes in Switzerland. But Tina needs help with this galga and another one I have featured, Sandy.
