Guest HASIandASHA Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi everyone!!!! What a surprise!!! thank you all!!! I'll try to attach the pictures of my boys hope you like them. Galgomum great to hear you still have adopted greyhounds from Spain, they live such a sad and crude reality here. The 3 human members of my family fight against galgo's abuse, we are very involved in rescue and adoptions, and oh my, it's so sad the stories you find. Sadly more than 50.000 galgos are killed every year when the hunting season is over, and we among with other organizations in Spain are fighting to ban the greyhound hunting but the goverment don't say much about it, unfortunately we don't have a good law to portect animals, so the fight is hard but we never give up. Actually we do have 2 afghan hounds for adoption, they are not the first ones we have, this year we have already given on adoption 3 affies, we are private organization, but the only one dedicated to sighthound's recue, all kinds. If anyone of you would like to read about their story, our boys and see some stuff from Spain you are always welcome to enter our blog at : http://hasiandashaenglish.blogspot.com. Hope you like the pictures if you don't mind I'll tell you some about their story. This is HASI, our little girl, spanish galgo, adopted, almost 3 years old, she's been with us since she was 8 months old. she was rescued among her mom and brothers from the street, they were in panic, and HASI is very afraid of everything, they used to be in front of a school and people used to throw things at them, kick'em etc...HASI has lost most part of his tail, we don't know the reason, her brothers do also have missing parts in their tails. She was our first adoption. This is ASHA. Mixed Spanish galgo/English greyhound, 9 years old now, she's been with us since she was 5. She is retired from hunting and she was just going to be killed, the sentence was simply, or you take the dog or i will kill her. She was so anxious when she came home, we had to treat her, because she would not sleep or stop walking around the house... SHYBA our first afghan hound, pretty female, very lovely, she is not rescued or adopted. She's simply afghan, lol. AMELIE the little Italian Greyhound, we did adopt her because one of our customer didn't want her anymore in spite of being 3 months. She used to be alone for about 12 hours, so i am not suprised about the fact she did bite everything at home, but she was just a puppy. She is 1 year old now. PRINCIPE (Prince) the grandpa, lol. He has been so much abused. We think he must be around 10 years old now. A very good friend of mine rescued him and he was there in her rescue center. Nobody asked for him, no one wanted to adopt him, he was too old, thin, ugly, some dumb & blind, was hitted by a car, he was living in the streets... you can see the scars all around his body, the vet was so surprised by checking all his wounds and scars... he needed surgery 6 times in one of the back legs to get it fixed... NESKA the podenco, female 1 year old, i found her in the road when driving my car, and just stopped the car, sit down in the road and called her, it took me some time but finally she came to me, very afraid and shy, opened the car's door and rove her home... she is afraid of everything, but when she gets to know you, she can't stop kissing... PIN & PON blood hounds brothers, found them in a forest near home, when coming back from work, late at night, i did hear a noise in the darkness, i could not see anything, just walked in, firstly thought maybe was the noise of a cat, but then i saw them both, in the ground, i guess they were about 1 month old, left there to die, so small, crying and crying, no doubt i took them and went home, they were so small they both were travelling in my sportsbag... MAPLE, the dachshund, 5 years old. was love at first sight. It was by the time i came home from Canada, where i was living for some time, and she was there in a pet store, by herself lay down in the newspapers, so small. I used to go to the store every day to see her, touch her, just took me one week to take her home, lol. Her name is just because i'm in love with Canada, and just like a lot the leaf on the flag...lol YVRES the baby of the family, female afghan hound, 3 months old, she was a gift from a good friend of us and we just love her, she is so cute... I am sorry i think the post it's too long, but i guess i have a big family regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HASIandASHA Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I just could add the pictures i have in this computer but as introduction i think they are not too bad... Hey Jan thank you for your message i had a good laugh here, because everyone here look at me as something strange when i say the dog's name lol but i just love it. What about you? how many? Lilysmom i think we met in the chatroom before but thank you again Tgrrrvalily, sounds great, i know what it's like to have dachshunds and greyhounds together lol. Good luck! To be honest this is my firs dachshund ever, but she is so lovely, just fell i love with her, HeatherDemps i guess you must be more used to them than me, but like them a lot. It's exciting to me as well ,GreythoundPoet, to find people overseas with spanish galgos. We keep in touch with Scooby medina because me, my wife and mother in law are very involved in galgo's rescue here in Spain. It's so great Argos found a loving home there, where he will get the life he deserve. If you want or need any kind of information, or want to know something just ask, whatever it's in my hand i will do it thank you all for your messages, it's great to be here, i think i finally found the perfect place! regards James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
