U.S. AND SPANISH ROCKERS PLAN VISIT TO SCOOBY MEDINA SHELTER

GRIN just confirmed that legendary rock singer/musician Paul Shortino, formerly of Quiet Riot and Spinal Tap fame, along with Javier Vargas of The Vargas Blues Band of Spain will be visiting the Scooby Medina Shelter  in Medina del Campo. The band will be on tour in northern Spain this May and are making a special trip to the shelter to meet the rescued dogs and Scooby founder, Fermin Perez Martin, to discuss the challenges that the Spanish shelter faces.

We are so excited that Paul and his wife Carmen have offered to help promote the cause of the Spanish sighthound plight by planning this visit with the band.  The Las Vegan Shortinos recently adopted Dio, a  podenco, through GRIN. The former Ibizan Hound Rescue with his huge ears and loving personality, has completely won their hearts. The Shortinos are now committed to learning about the origin of these dogs, what they have had to endure and how they can be helped.

We look forward to the update and pictures and thank Fermin Perez Martin for embracing our U.S. visitors. We foresee a rocking time for everyone involved!

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.
