Fran was picked up from project Mazarron by Andrea and Alison AAR and brought to GdS. A frightened galgo that had wild eyes. Through his fear he bit a volunteer. We had our hands full, that was for sure.
We gave Fran time, he needed it. He watched from afar at how we handled the other galgos, he would soon see we meant no harm. Bit by bit he edged closer but wouldn’t allow himself to be touched.
To make matters worse he had been diagnosed with erlichia, so getting his treatment down him was a military operation in the kitchen, an old Indian trick taught to us by Gaynor. He is now negative, good job Gaynor.
Fran got a reservation for the Czech republic with Galgo V Nouz, we were pleased but naturally worried. His new owner was fully aware of all Fran's troubles but had the experience to take on this challenge and offer Fran a forever home. The first hurdle would be to get him on the transport.
So ... to cut a long story short Fran arrived at his new home safely and we won’t pretend it was all roses from day one, he had trouble settling the first week but bit by bit he improved, again he found comfort in the other galgo, now his new brother.
So, what do we think to this photo? Is Fran looking like he could be turning a corner?
We think so and this makes us cry tears of joy. Finally Fran, you have found trust and love, you deserve it so much. No harm will come to you again. Big kiss little guy, we love you!
Thank you Galgo V Nouz and to Fran's new mum for giving him this forever home.
