Galgo Rescue International Network (GRIN) - Galgo Spanish Greyhound Rescue

Home

Welcome to G.R.I.N.

Our love of greyhounds and concern for their plight drew us to their cousins in Spain - the Galgos. The Galgo Rescue International Network (G.R.I.N.) was founded to establish a relationship between the galgo shelters in Spain and animal lovers in the United States and around the world. Working closely with the Galgo shelters in Spain G.R.I.N. raises awareness of the Galgo's plight through international educational campaigns and fundraising. We also act as an adoption agency for rehomed Galgos in the US and will provide assistance to the Spanish shelters whenever possible.

Shelter Aid

The galgo shelters in Spain are in dire need of help. One of G.R.I.N.'s primary goals is to provide much needed medical supplies, practical supplies, and financial support to the shelters whenever possible.

Scooby’s 20th Anniversary

Tuesday, 08 April 2008

Scooby's 20th Anniversary Dear friends of Scooby:

Twenty years ago Scooby started as a local initiative of brave people that carried buckets of water from their home to a ruin, to care for sheltered stray dogs. Since then, developments have never ceased to take place, and in the 21st century Scooby represents a safe haven for hundreds of dogs, cats and several other species that need help. Thanks to national, but especially international support. That is why we have decided to celebrate everything we accomplished in the past years this summer. This event will take place in Belgium, because we wanted to choose the most central location between the countries where most of our supporters live. Our Belgian friends from the Tornado’s, department Ieper, have offered to take the organisation of this festivity upon them. The Tornado’s is an association that undertakes several events at the benefit of animals in need, and they are specialised in organising these kinds of festivals. Obviously we have invited all partner organisations that co-operate with us for the same goal. We are delighted that most organisations have promised their attendance. And we would also like to welcome you, as a friend of Scooby. The success we have obtained was only possible thanks to all the people who have made an effort over these past years to support us and our work. The Tornado’s present:
