UPDATE! Kona has found his forever home! An active setting would be best and Kona craves attention from both his human and canine companions. He currently lives with a cat and is cat-safe. Kona is a very sweet and charming boy, slightly shy at first but warms up quickly. If you are interested in adopting Kona, please email christie@galgorescue.org. Kona is currently living in Colorado.
Kona's history: Kona was found with his mother hidden in a hole in the ground that had been covered with a board, a common method gypsies use to "secure" their dogs. Kona was very bonded to his mother (having been with her long after weaning), and still seeks the comfort of female galgos. His mother, Christiane (now Maggie) came to the United States in April 2007.

Noodles is a very special boy with an incredible story. In January 2005, Scooby received an emergency call - barking could be heard coming from a deep well! Scooby enlisted the help of the local fire/rescue team and extracted five dogs from the bottom of the well where they had been dumped and left to die by their former owner. Scooby pursued the case in court and in the end, the former owners were punished - a landmark case for Scooby and Spain, and a huge step for Noodles - he was now free to go to a home!

Francesca's story before coming to Scooby is unknown. Abby Christman found Francie at Scooby in February 2006 and just knew this sweet, fuzzy-faced girl needed to find her forever home.

Francie quickly stole everyone's heart and is a very special member of her family. Bev tells tales of her silliness, including the trademark galgo grunting and moaning we who share their lives have come to love.
