The rescue event of this abandoned 3- year old male galgo in Andalusia has given us a lot of surprises. Not only was he involved in a collision in a roundabout from where he was found causing him a loss of a couple of teeth, but luckily had no other impact on him. Later on we found out that he was having difficulties to see and this condition and its severity was thoroughly checked in Clínica Estoril in Madrid by ophthalmologist Alberto Baró confirming the diagnosis of blindness.
Thank you Edu and Mari for rescuing him and keeping him in your house till he was taken to Madrid. We would also like to thank Carmen Urbano for organizing his travel arrangements and his temporary foster home in the loving care of Mercedes in Madrid who also wholeheartedly deserves our gratitude for allowing him to stay until a new home is found. Likewise all our warmest wishes go to all our members and donors without whom this poor galgo wouldn't have had a chance. Because of you he now does have a chance of finding a home for the rest of his life. Even if you cannot re-home him for good, please foster him until we have managed to find him his dream home who understands the needs of a blind dog. He is waiting for you to get in touch with us!

ReplyDeleteHello Simon,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for getting in touch with us and please accept my apologies for this very late reply due to travel-related reasons.
Cheyene (this blind galgo) has now found a new permanent home in Madrid, but at the moment there are all together 20 galgos in foster-homes looking for new loving homes.
If you would like to receive more information of these home-awaiting galgos, please let me know! I am sure that every single one of them would be truly happy if it was to find a new home from your family!
