Hi
Depending on where you live, there are
choices.
You can find your nearest galgo rescue association
– there is a page on Galgo News which lists dozens. If you are in the UK,
Greyhounds In Need send coats out to the shelters and Alpha Dog School in Cadiz
which they use which rehabilitate galgos for rehoming in the UK. Amigos de
los Galgos and Ciudad Animal in Spain, LEurope des Levriers in France – they
are doing a rescue this week, Pro-Galgo will distribute coats to their nearest
shelters – they have a branch in the UK and other branches in Europe, Perrikus
Sierra Norte near Madrid will also be grateful for coats. If you are in
America, Galgo Rescue International Network regularly have people travelling to
Spain to take goods to shelters.
Thanks for reading Galgo News and for asking the
question. You should find many willing homes for coats from the
above.
