Galgo's Rescue Almeria on 4th December, we've named her Honey.
This precious little girl came into our care yesterday.
Honey is estimated to be 5 years old, the least we can say is that she will undoubtedly have had a very tough and difficult life until now.
It’s actually a miracle that she’s still alive, God knows what she has been through and endured.
This precious girl is supported by Helping Animals Almanzora.
Honey’s story.
She was kindly rescued from the road looking lost two weeks ago. Her rescuer took her to the Vet to check for a microchip which she doesn’t have. Poor girl was missing an eye and the socket was infected, she’s also missing her front top teeth. Honey didn’t look in the best condition and was presenting with signs of Leishmania. Obviously she also has had multiple litters previously.

They saw you watching over them
As they finally closed their eyes
They smelt your scent as they breathed
In and out for the last time
They heard the way your voice broke
As you told them they were loved
They felt you as you held them
With your gentle, farewell touch
