SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS! This month ALL PROCEEDS from the Handmade4Hounds Shop on Etsy, minus fees, will be donated to GALGOPOD, INC
Galgopod.org
is a 501(c)(3) public charity organized 2018 to encourage adoption of Galgos (Spanish
Greyhounds) and Podencos as an alternative to American greyhounds, which are
now in short supply due to diminished racing. They are currently based in California
and staffed completely by volunteers.
Galgopod works
closely with and directs resources to centers that rescue, rehabilitate and
relocate abused and abandoned Galgos and Podencos from Spain. They also support U.S. and Canadian groups
that champion the rescue and adoption of Galgos and Podencos. Fundraising is a
huge part of this work. Due to current EU travel restrictions, the only way to
transport rescue dogs at this time is by using a cargo service. The logistics
of transporting the dogs to the airport is also more involved as well,
resulting in a total higher transportation cost of approximately $1700 per dog.
Once the dogs arrive at JFK, they are picked up by their respective adoption
groups and are on their way to their forever homes here in the United States.
It's easy to help - just visit our Etsy shop and purchase anything during the month of April. All goods in the H4H shop are donated by Etsy artists and crafters to help sighthound rescue. Please visit our ABOUT US page for more information. Now offering FREE SHIPPING for orders over $35.00!
