| Sponsorship Dogs Leaflet |
The sponsorship scheme has been hugely successful and has helped this charity to continue to bring a few galgos into this country for quarantine and adoption. When our UK supporters (who bring in the charity’s major funding) meet these lovely dogs and learn of their history, it stimulates interest and support for these poor Spanish bred greyhounds and enables us to expand our rescue and adoption work for them abroad which has always been on a very much larger scale than we can do here in the UK with our anti-rabies restrictions. The major part of GIN’s funds go to financing the rescue, rehabilitation and transport of Spanish galgos and greyhounds to safety and to homes with associations and sympathisers in Belgium, France, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland and other countries of northern and central Europe. The UK sponsorship scheme is one of the catalysts that help raise the funds for this work.
Six new galgos arrived at the Gloucestershire Quarantine Kennels in May and they are the current galgos looking for GIN sponsorship.
Five galgos came from the RECAL refuge in Almendralejo and one came from one from Galgos sin Fronteras in Madrid. The brief character descriptions and the photos are from the Spanish volunteers who rescued them originally. The dogs were sent to a boarding kennels we use in northern Spain in Vic, where the vet, Pep Plans carried out the necessary parasite tests, vaccine, sterilisations and export requirements. The security and time spent in quarantine are ideal for maltreated, frightened dogs to ‘chill out’, regain faith and trust in humans, and prepare them for family life and the world outside.
If you would like to sponsor one of our galgos, please use our Sponsorship Leaflet and contact Carolyn or Lynne on 01784 483206.
