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.

Lola

Monday, 25 February 2008

Lola - Galgoe Rescue International Network (G.R.I.N.) 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!

We have had Lola for about 5 months now and she has really come out of her shell recently. What used to be a shy little girl has turned into a very playful and loving dog. Some of her favorite activities include playing tug with her brother Louie, wrestling with our cat Lt. Dan, chewing on toys, and eating! Since we have had her Lola has participated in many OSU buckeye tail-gates, learned to walk on a harness to participate in her first doggy 5k, went on her first camping trip to Ithaca NY, and participated in the proposal of her Mommy and Daddy by wearing the ring on a ribbon around her neck!

We are so fortunate to have Lola in our family and are looking forward to seeing how her personality develops as she continues to learn how to be a real dog!
