A must read!
Lomas. When Lomas was rescued near Los Alcazaras it was soon discovered that he had lesihmania and filaria. Luckily the lesihmania was at an early stage but even still it's a serious disease to have picked up, often making it difficult to find a home, especially abroad. The filaria was treated quickly.

We found Lomas a wonderful foster home with galgoconnections where Lomas continued treatment. His confidence grew slightly but whatever happened to this boy in the past it has had a serious effect on him emotionally.
Well if anyone can do it, it's Silvia once again. Extremely well connected, Lomas soon found a wonderful home in Austria.
Lomas left for his new home on the 5th Feb 2011 and already just a day later we recieve these wonderful photos of him in his new comfy bed. The good news doesn't stop there though. Lomas has a companion, Ulises. Ulises also travelled with Lomas.
What a wonderful family to take on two dogs with lesihmania. They will need special care for the rest of their lives but for this family that is not a problem, these galgos are worth every bit of their love and time.
We thank galgoconnections for once again supporting Galgos del Sol and helping us connect our galgos to find forever homes abroad.

Ulises. Well, where do we start with our Ulises. He had been living rough for years. Some of the residents at El Tramolin had grown to love him and would put down food and water for him but no-one was ever able to catch him, he was too afraid. We are not surprised he had clearly been to hell and back.

One day we recieved a call about how he was looking more and more ill and was at risk at being shot at. It was about time we or someone else caught this boy. After an unsuccessful morning of us trying to catch him we took a break. It was about an hour later that Ulises ran into Angela's garden (one of the residents) her husband shut the gate and trapped him inside. Well done, we had him, finally. Close up we could see this boy was dying, he was rotting from a serious disease, leishmania.
Ulises needed special baths everyday and injections. At the time Galgos del Sol did not have the correct foster home, until of course Silvia came to our rescue once again. This special lady is our angel. Silvia took Ulises and cared day in and day out for this boy. His skin will never be perfect but he can live a good life.
Once again Silvia and her contacts came through and Ulises found a wonderful home in Austria. The good news was continue as Ulises was to travel and live with his companion Lomas who also had leishmania. We were delighted.
Ulises left on the 5th Feb 2011 and just 24 hours later we recieved these wonderful photos of Ulises all snugged up in a warm coat with a posh galgo collar so not to put pressure on his sore skin.

Ulises and Lomas have a bright future and what a special family they now have. A family that will dedicate their time and love to these two deserving galgos. Thank you Silvia !

The advice at the vets was to put this poor boy to sleep but we at Galgos del Sol wanted to give him a chance, we wanted him to know what love is and we knew it wasn't his time to die.
We began his treatment which was intense as the leishmania was advance, extremely advanced.
