    This is so sad. Please can I tell you of my experience. Having not had our own dogs before me and the husband were advised to adopt a female. We decided on a small black female galga from greyhounds in need. Her kennel mate in quarantine was a huge male galgo. We adopted him too because we got to know him and couldn’t leave him behind. My lovely Jake died over two years ago now but what a love he was. He melted everyones hearts, an angel. We now have an ex racing greyhound, a big black male dog, also a total sweetie. There is the same problem with people not wanting the black male ex racers too. The same as Jenny, I would actively seek out the overlooked dogs and the males are just as gentle, perhaps even more so with some of them, than the females. There is a lovely black galgo at Pepis called Django, what a lovely boy. I hope people can get past the colour of the dog because those overlooked dogs are not broken or ‘something wrong with them’, they are just waiting for a good person to see past their colour, size, male etc. Please give them a chance!

    I appreciate all the work Fermin and Scooby does for the dogs in Spain. I just wish the groups would work together better. Unfortunately he says FBM only saves females and does not save males. Well I was just at FBM for 7 days from March 17 – March 23 and they have a lot of male galgos, and black ones too. Out of the 500+ dogs they have rescued, 48% are males, and out of the 48%, 24% are black. Groups should never bad mouth each other, there is too much damage that it causes and only hurts the dogs.

    Thanks for commenting, Travis. Scooby takes many galgos from FBM, so they do work together. Which is good of Scooby considering the hundreds of dogs they already have both at their main centre and at their Valladolid residencia. Thanks for caring.
