Another galgo we were asked to help was Socrates.   He was rescued and taken to the Arca de Noe refuge.     He was in a pitiful state with so many wounds on his body but after lots of TLC he too has recovered and is   enjoying his new life in Switzerland, thanks to Manuela and Levrier Swiss Adoptions. Neus, a 9 year old male galgo was found in a very poor state, his teeth appear to have been filed down, probably to stop him damaging the hares he was trained to hunt.  Not   surprisingly he is very nervous and tries to escape from everyone, even those wanting to help him !   Pep and Pilar have been getting him used to walking on a lead and he is slowly   gaining confidence.  We hope he will soon be homed in France – he will need  a very special home. One galga, Ayenda,  gave birth to three pups soon after she arrived at the Arca de Noe refuge.  Wilfrid , of Levriers en Difficulte kindly  offered to take the mother, and her pups – Pin, Pan and Pun to France for homing.   We are told they are growing quickly and like gardening – well, they are digging lots of holes,   ready to put plants in ?   The photo on the left shows Pep, at Vic with two of the pups—Pin and Pan.   29 The photo above shows Socrates, on arrival at the refuge, and  below you can see him enjoying some home   comforts in Switzerland
