\"Beau<\/a>
Beau and Luke. Or Luke and Beau. We're not sure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The two brothers in the picture\u00a0at right\u00a0are the first and fifth of six siblings to be adopted. These six Galgo crosses came over in two trips. The first four<\/a> arrived in November of last year, the same weekend that SHUG was presenting at Greyhounds Rock in Fredericksburg, Va.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of our awesome transporters arrived at the event with these four adorable pups and almost immediately one of our volunteers staked her claim. Honestly, I thought she was kidding until she turned to her husband and said, \u201cSend in our deposit!\u201d And he did!<\/p>\n

November 2, 2013: Boo, Beth, Beauty (not necessarily in that order)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The puppy formerly known as Bobby became Luke. In quick succession, Luke's brother Boo and his two sisters Beauty and Beth (who became Pepita) were soon adopted. Pepita's mom drove all the way from Illinois to Maryland to pick her up! Boo and Beauty were adopted together in Maryland where they're keeping their parents on their toes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But while our four pups found very happy endings, we never forgot the ones we left behind. This past April we had the opportunity to bring over the last two pups from this litter. They'd been waiting at Galgos del Sol<\/a> for six months while their siblings lived a life of laps and couches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By the time they arrived, we had a home for them and it looked like a happy ending . . . but then their new dad had a health issue and the boys had to come back into SHUG's care.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, one of the boys is ready to head off to his forever home. Beau will be heading to meet his mom in Florida bright and early Sunday morning. Beau the Beach Bum . . . that has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bernie.<\/a>
Bernie. And, yes, we're sure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There's one more boy left. Please help us spread the word. Bernie is almost a year old and he deserves a forever couch of his own. He's smart, sweet, and pretty much perfect (for a puppy). Their mom was a Galgo and we believe dad was a yellow lab. These pups are the best of both breeds!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you're interested in Bernie, please submit an application on our website at https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com<\/a>. You won't regret it!<\/p>\n
