The galga went through the usual tests, chipping, vaccinating and preparing for adoption. She was named Lali. We ran an appeal on Galgo News for an adoption home for her and an offer was received from the UK. A home check and references proved this to be one of the best - but Lali needed to be in foster for 6 months to complete her UK Pet Passport. She arrived chez Brennan at the end of June 2010.
As her adoptant already had a cat called Lola, the galga was rechristened Gaby. Since she arrived chez Brennan, she has settled in, gaining confidence living in a home environment and fitting in superbly with our own galga gang. We've had some amusing times, Gaby is a terrible thief where food is concerned - comes of having to scavenge to stay alive - but she is a wonderful loving dog who deserves all the comforts which will be bestowed on her in her forever home.
On 12th February 2011 she set off on the final part of her journey from Murcia, Spain, across France to her forever home in the UK. We were so sad to see this loving galga go but comforted to know she will be well loved and lack for nothing.
It has given us an enormous amount of pleasure to help yet another deserving survivor of the hunting hell of Spain have a chance to experience life in a loving environment, and we look forward to updates on her progress flying the flag in England for the galgos.
Gaby finally arrived at her new home in the UK at 4am this morning.
