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!

GALTx eNews: Please Give Remi A Huge Welcome!
Cher Oliver of Kansas City REGP called last week about a brindle and white female Greyhound mix running stray for several weeks in Kansas. Her owner had been charged with animal cruelty due to her abuse and abandonment. However, he moved away before being convicted. The hound would come up to a lady and her dog, but could not be secured. Cher and her colleagues had a plan to capture the dog by drugging her. They just needed a long term plan to help the hound find a forever home. Of course, we agreed to welcome the hound to our program as soon as she could be caught.
On Sunday, the team successfully sedated and captured the hound, now known as Remi. They transported her to Norman, Oklahoma, where our volunteer, Charles met them to take Remi to our boarding kennel in Dallas. Thanks to everyone who helped Remi reach safety and take the first step on her journey home forever.
Remi is a big girl and we’re looking forward to getting to know her. At first, she seemed scared and timid at the kennel, but she warmed up to a soft bed in the lounge quickly! She will visit our vets to see if she has any health conditions requiring treatment and will stay in our boarding kennel until a foster home can be secured. Watch a slideshow of her journey to us here. We anticipate that she will need some time to learn how to be a pet again. Once she is in good health and settled, we will test her with cats and small dogs. Watch for her to then be adoptable!

These photos are from my Digital Imaging final, where I went to the Manchester Animal Shelter in Manchester, New Hampshire and took pictures of some of the animals living there. The staff were wonderfully helpful.
