The Tagawa Holiday Gifts for Pets Craft Fair was a fun filled and successful day and GRIN volunteers Jen Franks with Podenco Cervantes, Katie and Judy Greenfield continue to help us get the word out about the plight of the galgos and podencos in Spain. Cervantes was the star of the booth with young children showing their concern for his �nubbin� and tenderly kissing him on his head and nubbin and wishing him well. Children show compassion in a way that melts our hearts... the hope for a future generation full of care and concern for animals is so uplifting. Thanks for everyones support of this yearly event in Centennial Colorado. See you next year at Tagawa Gardens.

G.R.I.N. had the opportunity to make a quick trip to Spain this past week (November 3 � 9, 2009).
Do you remember the hairless galgo ridden with a horrendous case of the mange that had been wandering the streets in southern Spain? His name is Parchito, he was rescued and cared for and now has made his journey to his forever home in Belgium. We now know that Parchito is a beautiful black galgo, his hair is growing back, he is doing great. On October 17th, 2009 he is being transported to Germany to his forever home. Thanks to everyone who helped give this boy his life back!

U.S. Collaboration For Fall Haul To Scooby Medina And Shelter Aid To Spain
BANNI - Mestizo (Spanish for mutt), female, 4 months. Banni is from the
BORIS - GSD Mix, male, 3-4 years. Boris is from the Scooby Refuge in Spain. He had been at the shelter for several years and was starting to become depressed and grow thin. When Peppertree found out some volunteers were going over to Spain, we took the opportunity to grab Boris so that he could have a proper home and life. Boris is a handsome, smart boy. He is a little shy with new people but once he realizes you will not hurt him, he will be your shadow. Despite his shyness, he is street smart and super curious about his new world! He learned stairs in less than a day, and loves the fact he can come into the house and be warm after doing his business outside. He is good with other dogs and does like to play with them. Cats are unknown. We would recommend older children since quick movements might scare him. Boris is a handsome boy who will make a family a wonderful, loyal companion. We are so pleased to have him here and give him a chance at a true forever home.
A few days ago GRIN received a notice about a Galgo abandoned on the streets in Puebla de Cazalla, Sevilla. The pictures are shocking, but we cannot turn our faces from what this poor creature has endured. The rescue of this poor boy began with a lady named Macarena who spotted him in this village. The word went out and various rescuers, Lydia, Salva, Jero, MaCarmen and Maca got together and easily caught him due to his weakened and emaciated state. Our friend Silvia in Valencia was informed and was the first to offer to bring him across Spain from Sevilla to Valencia to her vet. She began the urgent transportation link via private transports because of his delicate state of being.
