Thursday night (1st Nov), Peter Braig of PRO GALGO Deuschland e.V with his nephew Patrick, Elkie Lonnkvist of PRO GALGO ENGLAND and Mo Swatek of PRO GALGO SPAIN; along with the dogs NOODLES and shy Italian Greyhound LEO drove off towards Jaen, near Andalusia. We had many medical and dog supplies and cash donations to distribute to the shelters and their volunteers.
LEO came along because he does not like the babysitter of Mo’s dogs. He has progressed amazingly well on the journey and is developing from a shy mini Galgo into a very brave dog…making himself comfortable on our kness in the car and sleeping for hours in ELKIE’s and PATRICK’S arms.
The goal of the journey was to show the German and English PRO-GALGO representatives the way in which PRO-GALGO works and the conditions of shelters in Spain… and naturally to meet and be put in contact with Tete and her colleagues in Linares, Mariangeles of Badajoz, Antonio and his wife in Martos; and with Ana and their family from Soquellamos (La Mancha).
And of course to bring the donations we had collected during the last months, money for the treatment of GUAPO and many many goodies donated from people pf this forum for our huge protest-banner and hundreds of usefull goodies for our galgos, thanks to the german donors for collars, dog bedding, food, medications, thanks to our english supporters for a huge amount of coats, medical supplies, collars and leashes.Tete and her family did their best to spoil us during our stay… and treated us to a breakfast of hot chocolate and traditional pastry before our long trip to Martos to meet Antonio, the rescuer of GUAPO BLANCO.
