Tinasolera on EOS now runs http://www.perrosdelsol.es/
She is president of 'Galgos del Sol' (still under construction) working with her husband Jaime who is Secretary. Her passion for galgos began here in Spain. On seeing many abandoned galgos on the streets here she investigated further their plight and decided to set up an association to help them. Her husband Jaime has been incredibly supportive and has got used to arriving home on occasions to find new furry faces in the garden.
Taking many from the roads and fixing them Tina decided she wanted to do more. Joining forces with Gaynor enabled her to do so. Now building kennels, Gaynor and Tina work together to rescue broken galgos and make them whole again and doing whatever it takes to find them wonderful new forever homes both here in spain and abroad.
She adopted her own sweetheart who she believe was abandoned because he couldn't hunt. In her own words 'galgos are so precious, I simply adore them'.
