| Teresa getting some fuss at Vic (photo from Wilfrid [LED]) |
As regular
visitors to our website know we take many dogs
from RECAL in Almendralejo, thanks to Mada who organises primary
testing, vaccinations etc for us. Recently
Mada wrote asking for help with
a female galga who had been brought to her shelter.
This
poor galga was seen roaming with a piece of rope hanging from
her neck. Two ladies tried very hard to catch her and in
the end had to tranquilise her so that she could be caught.
They asked Mada if she could help. The galga was named
Teresa after the ladies who found her (both called Teresa !).
They felt she had been hanged and managed to escape but because
it had taken so long to catch her the wound around her neck had
started to heal with the rope still inside. The vet had to
open up the wound and extract the rope. With lots of love
and care from Mada, and her team, Teresa started to get better,
putting on weight and her lovely white coat began to shine
again. Her wound was healing and she was at last ready to
be moved to Vic. You can see from the photo here, taken by
Wilfrid of Levriers en Detresse when he visited Vic recently,
that Teresa is looking better and will soon be ready to start
her new life in
