It's a busy time ......what's new ..... for Galgos del Sol.
31/10
Tina said "We have unbelievable news!!!!!
Not only are we GDS Spain and USA but we have now been accepted as a legal charity in the United Kingdom! What will this mean? We will be eligible for gift aid! More details soon! Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!
We also say goodbye to Camel and Callie who are off to Greyhounds Rescue Belgium v.z.w. Thanks Mandy for taking them to the transport. Another two re-homed!!!!"
At the same time Tina is off to Madrid for an overnight stop before she takes three dogs from Madrid airport to the USA where they have new homes waiting them. They're flying to New York. Four other dogs are also travelling on the same flight.
Below: Monica made coats for the three puppies who are going to the USA today, 1st November.
31/10 Brian of Ibizan Hound Rescue drove Tina & the puppies from GdS plus one from Ibizan Hound Rescue to Madrid ready for the pups lunchtime flight to New York today, 1/11,
Tina had these two pups to look after in her hotel room, they were so excited!
Chaos in the hotel room!
There was a panic at the airport! The airline had only booked one crate for seven dogs! Thankfully it was sorted, worrying time!
Thank you to Brian from Ibizan Hound Rescue
Galgo Podenco Support, Grateful Greyhounds, Sam and the GDS team back home! Lucky pups from Argos and Galgos en Familia also going!
Below: Meanwhile back at the land work continues.....
From Tina "As work continues on the land we get feedback from the engineers that the local council are very excited about this project! With licenses and paperwork being put in place it means we will now be open to inspection by Seprona and other authorities as a fully legal LAND licensed charity!
We've always been a registered charity as you know but to hold large numbers of animals in one place can be more complicated. Licenses need to be obtained hence why the center is so badly needed!
I'm SO excited about this and for those that think this trip to New York is all fun I'm afraid not.... It's work, work, work and I wouldn't have it any other way right now! The electricity and water is under way and next .....the phase one of the kennels!"
