GALTx eNews: Seven Strays Safe and Sound!

Our intake team has been busy lately helping us welcome seven hounds with histories as strays! Bob Barker, a five year old (estimated) fawn male from Amarillo led the way! He had been living in a family’s backyard for almost a year after they found him eating out of a dumpster in Tulia. A Good Samaritan helped get him neutered and vaccinated and, when the family couldn’t keep him any longer, helped Bob Barker get to GALT. Bob Barker is a bit shy, enjoys outdoor activities, and gets on well with the children he has met.

On April 29th, Martin and Reba joined us from Ft. Worth Animal Care and Control (FWACC). We don’t know much about their lives before FWACC other than that they were strays. Martin came to us with a would on the back of his neck that we will have our vets look at.

The next day, Valor (pictured), Bernie, and Lilly joined the GALT family. They were found together near a ranch in the Waco area. Astro, who has impaired vision in one eye, also joined us that day. He looks like a Saluki/Greyhound mix. A family near Alvarado found Astro stray in December and hoped to keep him. As it turned out, a senior dog in their family needed quiet in the house due to medical issues and they thought it best for Astro to find another home.

We can’t wait to get to know them all better and share many more photos. Watch for them to be adoptable as soon as we address any medical needs they have and they spend some time in foster homes. You can make a donation to our Dr. E. Kelly Ntische Veterinary Fund to help with their expenses and get them on their way home forever! Thank you!
