Galgos 2007

On May 4th, David and Marci Anderson arrived at Pittsburgh International airport with four beautiful Spanish galgos... on May 6th, Beverly and Sydney came home with two.  The galgos endured a flight from Barcelona to Atlanta, a four hour layover, and then another hour or so in the air from Atlanta to Pittsburgh.  The weather on both dates was picture perfect and temperatures were very comfortable for the galgos.   

Each year, volunteers from SCG travel to Barcelona, Spain at their own expense to help our Paws Across the Pond partner, SOS Galgos.  SOS Galgos is operated by Anna Clements, who has connected us with so many wonderful companions since 2003.  Anna's husband, veterinarian Albert Sorde, works with Anna to maintain the health of the galgos who are often transported throughout Europe and America.  By law, the galgos must be issued a "doggie passport" that includes all current vaccine information and European microchip information.  While many of our galgos have already been adopted, here are some photos of the lucky dogs.  More photos will be added soon!
