❤️ I love my seniors with all my heart!

Living with a very old dog means feeling your heart speeding up every time you see them a little more still than usual and approaching with the fear that they have stopped breathing.

Living with a very old dog means being aware that some of the things you'll do together may be the last.

Living with a very old dog means thinking ′′ this is their last summer ", ′′ this is their last July ", ′′ This could be the last morning".

Living with a very old dog means they bark at any noise at any time, not because they know what they are barking at, its they feel they need to bark and let us know.

Living with a very old dog means, you have to lift them up into the truck, the bed, the couch, the stairs.

Living with a very old dog means putting off commitments because it's important to be close to them.

Living with an old dog means we trip over them because they are so sound asleep they don't hear us approaching them.

Living with an old dog means accidents in the house, its ok they don't mean to do it.

Living with a very old dog means feeling guilty because you know you could have done more, giving them more runs, more travel, more hugs, more caresses, more everything.

I would like to say that living with a very old dog also puts us in the face of our own death, fragility, vulnerability.

Living with a very old dog means we got to experience life with a very old dog, which is one of the best joys on earth!

“But why do you work with the Spanish rescues and the hunting dogs in Spain?”

Because, this (translated):
The life of a galgos
"I started dying when I was born. I am a Galgo, the fastest dog in the world, a real tragedy for our breed in my home country Spain.
My existence is a slow and reckless death from birth. I just survived 3 years being owned by a hunter. I know there are exceptions, not all Galgueros are equal, but mine was ruthless. Every week he had us tied up behind his quad around the neck for “training”. I assure you, this wasn’t a workout, it was torture. A ruthless torture we all feared, probably more than death itself. I remember my brother getting in the bushes when we were moving. Galguero didn't stop and my brother didn't survive the practice. Galguero didn't even bother to shoot him, he threw him into a well without giving him a glance. I am still breathing I was a little older then two years.
Life hurt me and my other six brothers Yeah, life hurts, probably more than death. Our sad existence hurt us, everyday was hard. Hours, days, eternal months, in which our soul slowly dies, made the sight sad and the body sick. Chained to a chain in a hole Where there was hardly a ray of light, barely food. We were never allowed to be dogs, we were tools. Hunting tools for use and of course without value.
Then came the day I wasn't going so fast. Every bone in my weak, bruised body ached and I was no longer able to get attached to the terrible quad again, not one last time. Neither my neck nor my body could take the atrocities anymore. I had the moisture from the Zulo we lived in for months in my bones and I was already in pain without moving. My time as a treadmill was over, I was useless to the Galguero.
My heartless owner didn’t throw us into a well, instead let us “play the piano”. A rope is placed around a galgos neck and it is hung on a branch so that the tips of his hind legs still touch the ground. When the tiredness strikes, break the legs, it's over. A barbaric, horrible and cruel, but real method.
I have experienced them first hand. It was night my owner put my rope around my neck hanging me so my hind legs still hit the ground then disappeared with his quad.
I don't know how many hours I fought and was about to give up, but fate didn't want me to die like that.
The next morning I realized a dog's barking, a desperate barking when it saw me. Two girls who were with him ran to me when they saw me. They were both very excited, I remember that the girl holding me in my arms was trembling more than I did and the other exclaimed: "He's alive, he's alive, untie him, hurry up, he's living!" "
Yes I was scared, but I'm still breathing. They carried me with a caution unknown to me, they covered me with their jackets, and for the first time in my life, a human hand touched my face. They were both crying "

SHE IS HOME SAFE!! Thank you everyone who shared and looked for her!!

LOST DOG!!! SOS!! LOST DOG!!
POLLY GOT AWAY FROM HER MAMA TODAY!!

Message we got from her Mama “She got away from me on a walk.
I went to put a p**p bag in the trash and dropped the leash. The sound of the plastic piop bag container scared her and she bolted”

I know it’s far out there but if ANYONE can look for her it’d be greytly appreciated. It’s too hot for Polly to be running around and her Mama is so worried.

PLEASE HELP!!

ATTENTION!! We had a dog relinquished in OMAHA, NEBRASKA named Sarah Racing name Flying Insomnia - is there anyone who can/will drive to Nebraska to get her and bring her back to Arizona with her Racing Home Family?! She’s in a foster home and safe.

If we cannot get her back here we will ask the other group to re-home her, but our first priority is to get her back to AZ.
