Varja – 3 year old female Galga

Varja is a 3-year-old female Galga with a caramel coat, standing 60cm tall and weighing 20.8kg. She was rescued unexpectedly when she entered a trap cage meant for another dog.

When the person who had organised the rescue refused to take her, Galgos del Sur stepped in and took responsibility for her care. Varja arrived in the UK on 14 December 2024 and is currently in Essex.

She is neutered and in good health, although she has tested positive for Leishmaniasis, which is stable and well-managed with daily Allopurinol and a low purine diet.

She also has microphthalmia in one eye. Despite her difficult beginnings, Varja is a noble and sweet-natured dog who simply needs a quiet and safe environment where she can build trust and feel secure.

Varja is calm by nature but becomes scared in the presence of humans, particularly in unfamiliar situations. She requires a patient, experienced home with another confident, gentle dog who can help her feel at ease.

She is sociable and submissive with other dogs, showing no signs of dominance. While shy with strangers, she blossoms when given time and understanding.

Her favourite things include food, especially peanut butter, sleeping, and peaceful countryside walks. She has a few special talents—like appearing seemingly out of nowhere, being incredibly sweet, and showing brave resilience despite her fears. She is also cat workable, which adds to her suitability for the right home.

Varja’s ideal home would be in a quiet, rural area with a patient family and a resident dog to support her confidence. With kindness and time, Varja is sure to become a cherished companion.

For the history buffs among us, there’s a lot to see! Now San Antonio is among the nation’s fastest-growing cities. But the downtown area is still easily walkable with your pet. And our favorite way to explore the city is on foot (and paw). San Antonio’s Pet Friendly River Walk Ages ago, when Rod and I first visited the San Antonio, the River Walk was a fun, slightly seedy, tourist destination. Since then, initiatives have extended and beautified this spectacular urban oasis. The original U-shaped section, packed with bars, restaurants, hotels, and crowds, still anchors the River Walk. But now the park stretches runs 15 miles, following the cou...
