Kennel Projects 2012 - G.R.I.N. Contributes to Building Funds

Christopher Plaskett December 28, 2011

Our friends from Galgo Connection Spain in Valencia suffered a major loss of housing for their rescued dogs. Due to the economic situation, one of their reliable foster families has been forced to sell their house, leaving 11 dogs without a place to stay. Silvia and one of her volunteers have scrambled to start an emergency building project at the volunteer’s home to keep the dogs in a better facilities and in better living conditions than a cold boarding facility. Once built, the dogs will have a safe, comfortable haven next to the home with someone to oversee their needs 24/7. Fencing and block pens are being erected now, and more building materials will be needed. G.R.I.N. has been able to help them start the project with a $1200.00 donation. Your contribution towards this project is essential for the future of GCS and the help they can offer their abandoned dogs. We ask that you consider this special project to make their dreams come true for 2012. Since donations are currently being matched, this will double your donation, stretching the dollars twice as far!

 

 

G.R.I.N. is also working with the oldest shelter in Cadiz Spain called Kimba to help them build a shelter. The modular building that was donated to them years ago is rotting and the floor is falling out, and they desperately need a replacement. The unit is used by the volunteers to change their clothes when they come to work, for potential adopters to have a place to fill out paperwork, and a wide variety other uses necessary to operations at the shelter. The cost of a modular building is approximately $1,200.00.

 

We will allocate our funds to both of these projects to help these shelters with their needs for 2012.

Please remember that G.R.I.N. is  a 501(c)(3), and any donation you make is tax deductible!

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.
