Adoption
Galgo in the spotlight
Pirri 7218 - Male - 2 years
Adopted
After being rescued from the killing station, the very young Pirri ended up in the refuge, not easy for such a young animal. So I hoped and I am convinced that he would be chosen as soon as possible. After the necessary waiting, the liberating application for adoption came, which was approved after the home visit of the regional manager.
Unfortunately, when Dirk sent the letters and emails to all the new adopters to pay the deposit, we received an email by return mail from the regional manager that the "New Parents" had already abandoned their adopted son... Unfortunately for him, he was already on the transport documents on which his chip number and that of his fellow travelers are stated.
That means that if he were not to come along now, he would never be able to travel again because his chip number is on the document and he would have supposedly already arrived in Belgium. Of course we will bring him along, that is a fact, but it is very bad for him that he is not being picked up. So far. Who knows, maybe someone among the readers dreams of a white, beautiful, sweet, calm and affectionate young galgo gentleman.
Thanks for reading this.
Affectionate and hereby a happy and peaceful 2025 for man and animal.
Mireille
All greyhounds that are offered for adoption in the photographs below have spent the necessary time in quarantine; their blood is tested, they are vaccinated, castrated or sterilized and have (usually) had their teeth cleaned. They have the chip, their European passport and all necessary documents; as validated below and witnessed by a valid and licensed veterinarian. The dogs are, unless mentioned otherwise, kind, affectionate, gentle and calm animals that can (usually) live together in easy harmony with other dogs and pets. Children are no problem except that they may not scare these gentle and sometimes timid dogs. If the dog has a specific story then you will be told; most of them have been "dumped" or brought to us by the "galguero’s" and since have proved themselves at the shelter. Some are found left behind at vacant houses or are tied up with a metal bow around the leg; left behind to die. Many of them carry the physical spurs of their past, which translates to old scars, but except for that, the dogs are in good health. Others among them have been mutilated. When you wish more information you can always call to the responsible of your region or take up contact with Greyhounds in Nood Belgium. The adoption fee is 350 € for members and adopters who are membre and 380 € for new adopters for whom the membership fee for the first year is included. The registration of your name in Belgium is included in the contribution. Thanks for your visit to our site; we appreciate your trust and support!
