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.

Devin - Galgo Rescue International Network

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.

His name has been changed to Senor and he's doing fantastic. This is our first greyhound adoption and my husband and I are completely smitten with their graceful demeanor and gentle spirit. Senor has three cats as house mates and my husband and I. He has never missed a step since he's been here and we will be adopting more—I'm sure of it.

I wanted to thank you for your hard work in saving these great creatures and also ask you for a favor. I do not have any records on "Devin" and I'm sure the dogs had to be vaccinated before they could enter the country. If there is any way you could fax or e-mail a copy of his rabies vaccines and/or any other vaccine that he may have had so that we do not have to do it again.

Again, thank you for saving this wonderful animal that is now part of this family. We are forever grateful,

Shelley & Robert Young
