GRIN (Galgo Rescue International Network)

 The Galgo Rescue International Network (GRIN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization run entirely by volunteers that was founded to establish a relationship between the animal shelters in Spain and animal lovers in the US and around the world. Our love of greyhounds and concern for their plight drew us to their cousins — the galgos and podencos.
Since its inception in 2006, GRIN has rehomed hundreds of dogs (most of them galgos); provided thousands of leashes, collars, and coats to the shelters; delivered hundreds of pounds of medical supplies to the shelter clinics; and donated tens of thousands of dollars in cash to shelters.

Charity of the Month: June

SAGE (Save A Galgo Español) http://www.sagehounds.com

SAGE is a recently started organization founded to raise awareness and make a difference in the lives of the closest relative of the greyhound, its cousin the galgo Español. They are located between Harrisburg and Gettysburg in South Central Pennsylvania.

Their main goal is to educate the American people about the situation of the Spanish galgo by giving seminars and through use of the internet. While open to work with other rescues in Spain, their closest connection at this moment is with Asociación BaasGalgo, working in areas known for their cruelty to galgos: Castilla la Mancha and Andalucia.
They also support shelters though fundraising.

While they do not believe that bringing galgos to the US is the answer to the problem in Spain, they try to make an annual trip to one or more shelters in Spain and bring back a few dogs that need homes. They never rule out any dog, including dogs that have specific medical needs, if that can be provided for them here in the US. Typically the dogs chosen for travel to the US are those that have been in the shelter for a longer period of time or stand the least chance of being adopted.

It's easy to help - just visit our Etsy shop and purchase anything during the month of May.  Please visit our website for more information:
