Rigo, Rufo and Zeus Coming to the U.S.A.

Christopher Plaskett September 15, 2011

G.R.I.N. is happy to announce that plans are in the works to bring three lucky galgos to the states November 2011 with the help of volunteer Fern Sinclair and her friend Amy Christopher who are picking up Fern's galgo at Sandra Baas's shelter in Cordoba. The three now have a secure and safe life to look forward to. Rigo has been waiting  for his forever home since Dec. 2010 when he was rescued from Jerez kill station and has been under the care of Galgo Conneciton Spain ever since. Rigo was found abandoned on the streets of Sevilla, a mere one year old with an eye infection so bad he could not even open his eyes, but  he was saved by wonderful volunteers in Sevilla and sent to GCS for treatment. Both boys are going to live together in VA.  Zeus, a beautiful white galgo who was found by some veterinarians near Cordoba was rescued and he has been at Sandra Baas's shelter just waiting for his lucky moment,  until Fern saw him on FB and immediately knew he was her boy!  We are looking forward to their safe journey home! Updates to follow.

Galgo Rescue International Network

Galgo Rescue International Network

Dedicated to the welfare of the Spanish Galgo and Sighthounds worldwide. 

 

Galgo Rescue International Network (GRIN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization run entirely by volunteers that was founded to establish a relationship between the animal shelters in Spain and animal lovers in the United States and around the world.  Our love of Greyhounds and concern for their plight drew us to their cousins — the galgos.

Working closely with Spanish shelters, GRIN raises awareness of the Spanish Greyhound's plight through international educational campaigns and fundraising.  We also aid shelters and assist with adoptions for rehomed sighthounds in the U.S. with the primary goals being to provide practical help and supplies to the Spanish shelters and to inspire change in the treatment of the Galgo Espnaõl and the Podenco through public informational and educational campaigns.
