Greta's, story. (Now Isobel.)

Here is Greta's story from the beginning. If you have the time to read it, it will give you an idea of just what work is involved in curing a galga, what they go through and how we help them.
To us, time is of no object, each one can recover in their time. We help them along the way, nudge them when needed, but over all, peace and love will reign in their lives from when they join us and see, their hell is over.

Greta was later on fostered by Beryl and David Brennan (www.galgonews.com) On a visit from Pat and Steve they took Greta home with them for Beryl to collect.
Greta had after several fall throughs an adoption awaiting her in the UK. Sally had fallen for her and Greta went to Beryl until January when the new law of entry into the UK would be passed and she could enter without quarentine.

Gretas life since rescue has drawn her alot of fans and support, many have reached out to her and wished her well. Bit by bit Greta became acostomed to home life as oppose to a stable, but her behaviour was young, and clueless in confusion as to what was expected of her now.
She became destructive in chewing. Despite chewing through doors and taking pictures of walls, she was in the best place possible. Beryl and David just took it all in their stride, not so many would. Amazing fosterers of many a galgo and podenco their patience was incredible.
Toilet training began and Greta loved her long walks with her new fostered family of galgos. One in particular Floyd.

Sadly we received news that Sallys Irish setter was taken critically ill and needing alot of care and attention. Gretas adoption was cancelled much to Sally's sadness.  These things can happen, and dogs we understand. Gretas learning to home life would not work with a convalescent  needing rest.

Whats interesting is that on the link on Galgo News, Owen makes a comment below that some day she will find her happiness near or far from Spain. Well as it happens, Greta has just done that. For Owen stepped forward on the news of Greta being available for adoption again and the process began.

Greta was collected from Beryl and David by Owen and Annie. She lives in the UK now with 2 other galgos. Loved and cherished, for all she is worth this family is complete for what was clearlt meant to be, has been.
Greta now Isobel, Bella has a new life. All we ever promised her. When I looked into her eyes that first day and I made her a promise, it has been fulfilled.

My sincerest thanks to Beryl and David, for their "ruined" doors.. their patience with Greta. For them extending their family to her, her needs and teaching her home life and just how it works.

Thankyou to all who have taken Greta to heart, she even has a galga named after her in Slovenia from a special family.
A special Galga, touching hearts of people. The same race as those who gave her pain and suffering. It doesnt bare to think.. but we, we continue in our work, in the lesson of life and that we will never give up. Each galgo or podenco who crosses into the doors of 112 carlota galgos is assessed, cared for according to their needs and becomes part of our family. The most punished, rejected, and unloved, at 112 carlota galgos we reverse that to them feeling the most related to, included in, and loved.

"May all galgos have a ray of hope!"

We love you Greta always will. Go forward now, into family life, breathe it in and believe it, its all yours now. For keeps!
In galgo affection, always.
