- Julia and Luisa Recover at Shelter
The Story of Julia and Luisa is one that was brought to our attention. Julia the white galga escaped death from being hung. No one knows how she broke loose, but she did and was spotted running in the streets in a village for weeks enduring the pain from the horrific damage to the skin tissue all around her neck. She was so frightened that she could not be caught and still had the hang mans noose inbedded in her neck. It was reported that she would run and in running would step on the noose and scream from the pain. I know this is hard to read, but when we heard about all this little galga had endured we wanted to help her. She was finally caught by the good rescuers of Gran Familia in Sevilla and taken immediately to the vet. Her injury was so bad they could not even operate to close the gaping wound all around her neck. The only recourse was daily wound care. With medication needed and daily treatments the cost of her treatment was soaring for this shelter. At the same time Gran Familia took in an emaciated little galga with a horrible skin condition, her name is Luisa. Two sweet galgas now safe but with medical needs. G.R.I.N. send an EAF (Emergency Assistance Donation) for their care. The two girls are now at the residency recovering their ordeals and each day trusting more and more. We wish them well and we will update on their progress. Thanks to our donors we could help Gran Familia to help them!
