Help G.R.I.N. Help the Galgos!

Fundraising is an ongoing mission for the Galgo Rescue International Network. We raise funds for a multitude of reasons including:

• Shipping supplies to Spain
• Bringing galgos to the United States and Canada for adoption
• Informational campaigns designed to raise awareness in the US, Canada and Europe about the sad state of affairs in Spain
• Giving financial grants to the Spanish shelters
• Providing medical care for the galgos here in the US
• Purchasing much needed medical supplies for the shelters
• Paying for airline tickets for individuals transporting dogs and supplies (as well as the associated baggage charges)
• Operating expenses
• Postage

What We Are Doing To Raise Funds

• G.R.I.N. was sponsored by Carpe Canem and held two massive online auctions in 2007 - one auction in January which raised $2300 (after PayPal fees and shipping expenses); and a second auction in May which raised just over $3500 (before fees and shipping). We will be hosting a series of Carpe Canem auctions in 2008 to benefit the Spanish shelters and G.R.I.N.
