Here's the story of yet another abandoned galgo; it's typical of the hundreds across Spain, now dumped and abandoned by the hunters to whatever fate befalls them - the hunters have no mercy, they don't care.
Polyana - a brindle galga walking the streets in Sevilla, lost and alone.
Thrown out as trash and unwanted purpose with a story to tell of being a galga in Spain. Beaten down and feeling low, she wanders and begs, sneaking food where she can. Empty bins may have spilt a crumb, gravel on the floor may just have a grain, its not much to keep going but it could ease the pain.
The rawness inside, and the sad ache in her heart, she continues along her lonely path. Don't get near for she is a galga, an unwanted item after the hunt season finishes.
Small and dainty this galga fights on, through the freezing nights and cold days, the frost in the air chills her bones, a cold so unbareable it has to be told. I have no idea from a personal view how galgos survive in the torments of weather changes. Only that this special breed of dog has a will and a strength to continue no matter what.
Incredibly scared and timid she finds her rescuers, and low and behold is caught. Linda takes her to their refuge, and there she begins to see that there is change.
Scared of her shadow she comes with REY to 112 carlota galgos and well, within 24 hours is at my leg. she is looking for love in all the right places for its here she will receive all that she needs.
A dainty face and eyes which pierce you, she begs for your love and follows the gang. She learning all about routine and walks, that food isnt short and warmth in her bones ... never again will she feel that cold.
Polyana is up for adoption; she will be vaccinated, chipped, EU passport and sterilised. She is negative in her tests.
She is sweet as sugar, she needs someone to love her, so dont hold back... melt into her eyes, and take her home.
If you would like to help with Polyana, we would be very very grateful. Desperately needing help to continue our work to rescue and improve the lives of the Galgos and Podencos that we save. 112carlotagalgos
In Galgo affection.
