How Do We Choose?

Guest User October 10, 2023

Three hundred and fifty pairs of pleading eyes at Scooby Medina… so how did we choose which lucky hounds would be coming to the USA in early November?

Some have been at Scooby longer than others. Some due to the perception that a large dog needs a large home and large yard (however, we know that sighthounds are fine in smaller homes and have an uncanny knack of curling into little balls). Then there’s the Black Dog Syndrome; potential adopters tend to overlook black dogs for reasons that confound us.

All of the dogs reserved by GRIN have backstories and deserve better. There’s Karina, who was starved and neglected by her former owner. One choice was pure kismet: adorable, pleading, older galga, Gloria, peeped behind Karina in a photo and caught the eye and heart of a family.

All the dogs were selected for their potential to transition into a home and play nicely with others. So saying, we wish we could have reserved all of Scooby’s dogs for a home in the States.

If you’re interested in adopting galgo, please fill out an adoption application and email it to our adoption coordinator at wally@galgorescue.com.

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.
