Foster Homes Needed - Galgos are on the Way!
 

Arriving soon, e-mail christine@greyhoundrescuerehab.org if you can foster.  We also need people to help with pick up at the airport, note the dogs are arriving on three separate dates - April 11th, April 12th and April 19th.

Romeo - arriving April 11th

Sex: Male

Color:  Black

Age:  2 years

Cats and Small Dogs:  Yes

Romeo was abandoned in a village in the province of Seville, in an área well known for rabbit hunting and for the abandonment of Galgos when the short hunting season has ended. Romeo slept in the doorway of a house and the owner's daughter would feed him. He is a friendly, quiet boy. He loves to run and play and gets on well with other dogs, male and female. He has been cat tested in Spain and shown no interest so we believe he should be fine living in the same home as a cat.

Selene - arriving April 12th

 

Sex: Female

Color:  Brindle

Age:  2 years

Cats and Small Dogs:  Yes

               

Selene had a very bleak future when she was left to be killed in Badajoz by her owner.
Her date was already chosen, January 2nd. Thank goodness, a Galgo friendly shelter saw her pictures and decided to give her a chance. Looking at her beautiful silver gray and white face, she was given the name, Selene, in Latin, the Goddess of the moon. In Selene's eyes and behavior there was a broken spirit, fear, submission and sadness. But with a new life and name, she will soon be a lovely, proud and sweet Galga.

Musa and Chiqui - arriving April 19th

 

Musa

 

Sex: Female

Color:  Fawn

Age:  2 years

Cats and Small Dogs:  No

 

Chiqui

Sex: Male

Color:  White

Age:  2 years

Cats and Small Dogs:  Yes

 

Musa (fawn female) and Chiqui (white male) were found living on the streets of a village near Badagoz, Spain. During the day they walked the streets scavenging for food and at night they slept, huddled together at the base of a tiny tree. When they were rescued, they greeted the volunteers like old friends, as if they knew that these people were there to help them.

 

Both are two years old, friendly and sociable getting along well with other dogs. Musa has been cat tested and she wanted to give chase so she isn't cat tolerant, but Chiqui had no interest in the cat. After they were abandoned, they kept each other alive, so we are looking for a home where they can stay together.

Featured Hound by Nina Malmed

Hodges   

Sex: Male
Color: Fawn
Age: 6 years
Cats and Small Dogs: No

 

Kiowa Hodges, affectionately known as Hodge or Hodgy, turned six recently. Many of you have met him at the meet and greets and can attest to how much progress he has made. He now goes to the dog park and plays with dogs of all sizes. He lets strangers pet him. He loves to walk, ride in the car and run laps in the yard (especially in the snow) for the sheer joy of running with a big smile on his face. He plays with stuffies and squeaky toys. He is a gentleman, has never had an accident in the house, lets us know when he wants to go out, sleeps through the night and is a watch dog. A hound who barks when the doorbell rings(whether its real company or on TV, lol!).   He will always have some fears ...doorways and wind, sudden fast movements and his  biggest anxiety .....crumpling paper or plastic water bottles. Otherwise, he is a warm, affectionate hound who will even share his bed.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Hodgy.....who is still looking for his forever home.

April Events

Chocolate is Toxic to Animals

Remember during your holiday celebrations this month, and any other time, to keep chocolate away from your pets.  If your dog should ingest chocolate, bring him or her to the vet immediately.  Even small amounts can make dogs extremely sick and can in some cases be fatal.
