Good luck Gandalf!
Gandalf has spent the last 3 years with Lidia, in her care and love. Gandalf has been the "invisible" galgo for as long as he has lived. Passed up, passed by without a single question about him. Nothing, noone appealed to Gandalfs pleading eyes. Telling his tale of pain and anxiety as a galgo in Spain, a slight mix of podenco but enough to put people off. Black, male, and not all galgo, enough to turn people away. An existance of abandonment, rescued by Tina. went into foster care which didnt work out. For Gandalf didnt settle, and so we took him on. He went into Lidias care straight away, to whom we are  very greatful. Her love, affection, patience and dedication turned Gandalf around. He found love and life.
On the day Jay wrote and asked about Gandalf, I knew she was the one. I knew that she had seen his eyes, through his photo and he had beckoned to her to take him home. so she did!
Gandalf left Spain the 14th May 2012.. to be loved forever in his new home. Loved and cared for, Jay told me she has seen into his soul via his eyes, and I knew, i knew he was home.
Jay, and East Riding retired greyhounds team, for making this possible.   http://eastriding.retiredgreyhounds.co.uk/

Polyana...
Sweet Polyana, cane to us several months ago now from the streets of Sevilla. She was rescued by Bligoo Sevilla and brought to us with Rey. She needed confidance, and care. She came around relatively quickly, and won my heart. Her fur soft and her face gentle. Id clean the stable and before long find and  nose by my side. She would look for me while walking, she would turn and need me by her side. I was there, and will always be. No matter what she needs, I will give her my all. Polyana acompanied Gandalf to the UK and is at home adjusting to English life. In general at the stables I speak to the galgos in English, but they do listen to Spanish as well and so a new country, new temperatures, and language is alot to take in. She is playful, accepting her treats and loving her walks.

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your love and support for these two special galgos. For all your help in supporting their journey to the UK and in the promise of a new life, forever.
In galgo affection, always.
Charl and 112carlotagalgos
