Dog name: Varja Nicknames: Bean, Imp
History: She was rescued ‘by accident.’ While SOS Rescue were trying to rescue a greyhound, Varja entered the trap cage to eat, but the person who had ordered the rescue said that she did not want the greyhound, that they should let her loose on the street again because she had no room for her, so from Galgos del Sur we took charge.
