NATA.. te necesita.. NATA needs you!

Introducing NATA!

So here we have another case of a beautiful galga, just dumped like rubbish for her to defend for herself. The mentality seems to be "galgos can hunt, they can look for food". It is in my opinion, if out of a litter of say 10 pups, only one is ok for hunting it shows they are really not quite as natural at hunting as what people think, they are "trained" to hunt. Hence why many pups find themselves starved, thrown down wells, as young as 2 and 3 months this decision has been made, fate written on a tree somewhere to hang from.

So here enters NATA... another lame galgo who is saved by the people I name the "guardian angels" of the galgos. Here is Natas story, and she is stunning!!!

Nata arrived at the shelter El Arca de Monzòn (Huesca) - noone knows how, but she was begging around the exterior of the refuge. Perhaps luck brought her that far! Its quite possible she was brought there by the same gypsies who had her because she was no good at running, for she has a wound in her front paw.

The next day she was sent to Barcelona, all analysis negative. With her playful and happy character,we guess she has not suffered any type of abuse that has lasted in her, or that could have stayed with her and made her a shy creature. Quite on the contrary, she is greatful for all signs of affection. She will ask for attention, and greet everyone with her tail wagging, so sweetly that everyone just has to respond with a stroke and a smile. She loves people, and all whom know her be it people or dogs - and neither does she have any issues with male or female dogs, ... she also knows she is a girlie who is "stunning in her looks" - and she uses this to her advantage, "well which girl wouldn't?" She uses it to take a ball, achieve a treat, and at the moment anything she likes. She is also good with cats.

She is curious, perhaps too much so, and everything surprises her, but she is not scared. The other day she misunderstood the noise of a car, and jumped up on top of it, thinking it was her friends, it costs us somewhat though and some time, 4 stitches in the back paw, 3 in her knee, and 5 days of complete rest. We hope this serves as an experiance (to all) - but Nata has only just started to live, and nothings going to stop her!

If you would like to adopta Nata, (and who wouldnt?) please contact http://www.degalgos.org/ or myself comdelrio@hotmail.com and I will send you the contacts needed.

SU HISTORIA
Nata llegó a la protectora El Arca de Monzón(Huesca), no se sabe muy bien como, vagabundeaba alrededor del refugio. Suponemos que la dejaron los mismo gitanos porque no les servía para correr por una lesión en la patita de delante.

Desde monzón al día siguiente, la enviaron para barcelona, (con analíticas de leishmania y filaria negativas).De carácter juguetón y alegre, suponemos que no sufrió ningún maltrato que le dejara secuelas o que la convirtiera en un animal tímido. al contrario, agradece todas las muestras de afecto exageradamente, y las pide, se acerca a todo el mundo moviendo la cola y de forma tan dulce que todos responden con una caricia y una sonrisa. le gusta la gente,y todos los que la han conocido la quieren, sean personas o perros, pues tampoco tiene problemas ni con machos, ni con hembras... sabe que es una chica'muy atractiva' y lo utiliza para conseguir quitarles la pelota, las chuches, lo que ella quiera en ese momento.

Es demasiado curiosa y todo le sorprende, pero no tiene miedo, el otro día confundió el ruido del motor de un coche y saltó sobre él(se pensaba que venían sus amigos) lo que nos costó el disgusto del siglo, afortunadamente sin secuelas, cuatro puntos en la pata de atrás ,tres en la rodilla, y cinco dias de reposo absoluto. Esperemos que nos sirva de experiencia(a todos), pero Nata acaba de empezar a vivir y no hay quien la pare.
