Dog name: Albert Nicknames: Albie
History: A very sad story reached us of a Spanish lady who had become very unwell and was now unable to care for her beloved pets. She was having to move into special accommodation but give up her dogs who she had loved and nurtured for many years. Galgos en Familia took them both in. They were senior Galgos Charlene (renamed Kalaya) and Kacey (renamed Albert). We managed to find them a home together. Sadly all dogs of that household have had to be re-homed.
