Poem by Ann Marie Payne of SOS Animals
You’re thinking of adopting a dog?
Maybe I can help you decide on the breed
You want a dog that’s easy to look after. What about a Galgo?
You want a dog that’s easy to groom. what about a galgo?
You want a dog that’s easy on the lead. What about a Galgo?
You want a dog that will show you so much love.
What about a Galgo?
You want a dog that loves to laze about most of the day
What about a Galgo?
You want a dog that’s good with other dogs?
What about a Galgo?
You want a dog that’s waiting in the pound for you to save it?
What about a Galgo?
Galgos make wonderful pets.
I know, I’ve got 4
How about making just one Galgos life better with you
Please think about it(NB Photo is of my 3 adopted galgos and 1 podenco – Beryl)

Galgos do Canicross
In April 2007 I joined a French galgo rescue association and for many years travelled regularly with their team into Spain to bring back to France galgos and podencos for foster and rehoming. In that time some members of the team have left to form their own rescue associations and over the years more and more people have become involved, to such an extent that it is more difficult now to find forever homes because there are so many galgos here. And sadly it is all too common to see posters and appeals for galgos and podencos who are lost! Here’s a sad example of a podenca lost on 30th June, without a collar.
On a lighter note, since its inception in 2008 Levriers sans Frontieres have homed 1,700 galgos and podencos rescued from Spain, and some of the galgos now take part in Canicross.

Galgo Espanol Espana – galgos needing help with kennel fees
Galgos with Galgo Espanol Espana waiting for forever homes.
Mayday! We’re looking for foster and adoption parents for some of our galgos!
There are currently several of our galgos who do not have the cost of kennels covered. Amore, Candela, Helen and Margarita! For Dante we received 30 euros and for Greta 40 euros.The kennels of Amore and Dante are somewhat more expensive combined with Dante’s monthly treatment.
Although our Swiss partners do everything they can to find solutions, they don’t always arrive…
Right now the hunting season starts and we’ll start receiving appeals for galgos who which need our help and if we can’t cover the needs of what we have, we won’t be able to help others.
