Enrietta cool and calm with Linda

Galgo Release Day

If a dog has to be confined for 6 months in quarantine I can’t think of a better place than Precious Pets to do so. Our thanks must go again to Paula and Steve who together with their dedicated staff take such good care of our dogs and make Release Day so special.

The months leading up to the release were not the easiest of times but it all came out well in the end. We have to accept that people do pull out along the way for all sorts of reasons and it is better they do this earlier rather than later if they have any doubts at all.

On the day, having made the journey through road works, traffic, fog and being stuck behind slow moving lorries we finally arrived to the usual warm welcome of Precious Pets where refreshments were ready and very excited adopters were waiting in anticipation of taking their beautiful dogs home.

The necessary paperwork was then completed for each owner, followed by the call for each dog to be brought out, then the excitement, the photo calls and the realisation that the long awaited day had finally arrived. First out was Peluda who literally “bounced” and wanted to go up to everyone for a fuss. She seemed very happy to be going home with Vivien to Cumbria . Terry and Domingo followed to go with Daniel and Rebecca who also live in Cumbria . Domingo is of course very timid but he seemed to gain some confidence and copied what Terry was doing.

Fortuna was next to put in an appearance, totally placid and looking pleased to be going to Norfolk with Jan. Paulette was also totally calm as she joined Wendy for her trip to a good life in Devon. Tiny Nuria came next and she really seemed to grow in confidence as she got dressed in her posh red collar and lead for her journey to Berkshire with Tracey and her family.

Last on the scene was Hamlet who was going with Bali to her home in Gloucestershire to be fostered so that his would be adopter could have her home check. He was fostered for less than 48 hours and then went on his way to Berkshire with Carla.

We were lucky to have visitors to the Release Day again. People who already own Galgos just wanted to come along, show off their dogs and share in the excitement of others as they took their dogs on to their new lives. It was lovely to see Dawn and John with Rafi and Hobbs who have both progressed so well. I was also very pleased to see Elsa and John Waywell with the lovely Inca . Thank you to all those who took the time and trouble to come along including Carol and Sue from Cheshire .
