Jazz entered our pack a couple days after his first birthday. Already having eight dogs in our pack, Jazz surprisingly made the transition smoothly. He is an easy going, loving, and kind soul. Being the youngest and biggest has made him very special. He shows great respect for our fourteen year old Dalmatian and is very patient and gentle with our whippet and six Italian Greyhounds. We never expected to add another kid to the family but it was love at first sight and I can't imagine a day without him.

* Jazz is a wonderful lurcher rescued by Telma Shaw of GRIN and other greyhound rescuers from a dreadful puppy mill situation in California.

UPDATE! Little Orphan Andy is an orphan no more! He is now known as Mr. Murphy and is happily living in his forever home with his parents, another galgo, and some other canine friends!
UPDATE! These girls have found their forever homes! Thanks to our friends of Midwest Lurcher Rescue Group, Janice and the T Troop, we have heard of these two lovely 2 year old lurcher greyhound mixes that are in need of a forever home. These two adorable fuzzy faced girls were returned by owner for no fault of their own. They are being fostered in Oklahoma but must be moved as soon as possible.

UPDATE! Callie was adopted by a lovely family in Canada thanks to one of our partner groups, Chinook Winds Greyhound Rescue. A huge thank you is in order for everyone involved in this rescue, especially Telma Shaw of G.R.I.N. who spent countless hours arranging for Callie's rescue. 
UPDATE - Unfortunately, G.R.I.N. was unable to receive any further information about Dottie. We hope she has found her forever home with a loving family. Dottie is a ~2 year-old greyhound/deerhound mix currently living in Cheyenne, Wyoming in a foster home. She was rescued from a kill shelter recently after having spent six months there. Dottie is a very special and sweet girl but she will need a home with someone very familiar with sighthounds/large dogs, and very comfortable with training. Dottie is a bit of an "alpha" dog so finding her a home is going to a bit challenging. She is not cat or small dog safe. She is extremely friendly and sweet - she just needs to find the right home where she can grow and blossom into the wonderful dog we know she is!
Miko just blew right into our lives with puppiness happiness and energy. What a spit fire, she just jumped right into our life without even looking. She was so well adjusted from her first home, slightly pampered and extremely loved, it took her only seconds to find her spot on the sofa! She absolutely loves to be held and her whole body just goes limp and dangles her legs freely. I am hoping she doesn't get too big so I can continue picking her up and snuggling with her! She loves all her new buddies, two of my own greyhounds(Millie and Maisie) and one foster older greyhound, which she treats with the upmost respect..she must know and she always finds a small spot on one their pillows to curl up and sleep.(which I think comes from her being raised with that other galgo) Her favorite playfriend is Cricket, a small Pom, which she is trying to learn to play "nicely" with, but will still need a few more lessons...
"INOCENTE", another abused galgo, like so many of them who suffer in Spain. And when we save them we have to be extremely careful in our search for a trustworthy organisation or family to take them so that there will be no possibility whatsoever that they should ever go back to the same life that they suffered while with the madmen who were their previous owners.
My husband and I adopted a Galgo at the end of January from Elite Greyhound Adoption that came from your Colorado rescue group in September. His name at that time as "Devin" and he arrived September 17, 2007.
I first met Lola while traveling to Camp Scooby as a volunteer last summer. I took an instant liking to her based on her unique look and size (like a miniature German Shepherd!) It was heartbreaking to leave Spain not knowing if I would see her again so we were so thrilled when I contacted G.R.I.N. after returning to America and found out they would be able to bring her to us. Thanks to the help of everyone at Camp Scooby, G.R.I.N., and Stacey and Chris Plaskett who drove little Lola and 5 other dogs from Colorado to Ohio, she made it!
Marta is doing great! She has settled in well to home life and is loving all the attention she's been getting. She has started running and loves being a running companion. She knows her name very well and likes to stay close to us. She has been meeting lots of other dogs on walks and has become quite the socialite. She is very good at controlling play and staying on her toes! She has settled in to our home wonderfully and has also graduated from her crate so has full reign of the house! She is such a lady and loves a good cuddle with us. She has been nothing but a joy to us and a wonderful addition to our home. Thank you for all the work in helping her come to our home.
