Adoption
Galgo in the spotlight
Linda Bandera 7210 - Female - 8 years
Linda Bandera was rescued from the killing station on the 20th of March 2023 as a lost soul. After living in dark corners under miserable conditions for years, having to take care of her offspring and hunting in between, she was dumped to die after years of abuse. It is not surprising that the poor animal was apathetic, and her poor body was emaciated, it was distressing. Especially when you know that despite everything that was expected of her, she only got a hunk of bread twice a week and if she was "lucky" a little fat.
Unbelievable you might think, but for most galgos it is the reality. After a stay of almost 2 years, she has regained her trust in humans and is not only a lovely appearance but also a sweetheart, gentle, sweet, affectionate, calm, superlatives fall short. Her only handicap is her age. Perhaps age does not matter to you, who knows…
Thank you for reading this
Affectionately,
Mireille
All greyhounds that are offered for adoption in the photographs below have spent the necessary time in quarantine; their blood is tested, they are vaccinated, castrated or sterilized and have (usually) had their teeth cleaned. They have the chip, their European passport and all necessary documents; as validated below and witnessed by a valid and licensed veterinarian. The dogs are, unless mentioned otherwise, kind, affectionate, gentle and calm animals that can (usually) live together in easy harmony with other dogs and pets. Children are no problem except that they may not scare these gentle and sometimes timid dogs. If the dog has a specific story then you will be told; most of them have been "dumped" or brought to us by the "galguero’s" and since have proved themselves at the shelter. Some are found left behind at vacant houses or are tied up with a metal bow around the leg; left behind to die. Many of them carry the physical spurs of their past, which translates to old scars, but except for that, the dogs are in good health. Others among them have been mutilated. When you wish more information you can always call to the responsible of your region or take up contact with Greyhounds in Nood Belgium. The adoption fee is 350 € for members and adopters who are membre and 380 € for new adopters for whom the membership fee for the first year is included. The registration of your name in Belgium is included in the contribution. Thanks for your visit to our site; we appreciate your trust and support!
