Galgo Connection Spain rescues Jerez Galgos from kill station. These are just a few of the galgos that have been rescued from Jerez this week. They have all come in a lamentable state. We hope that in time they will recover and find the happiness they so deserve. G.R.I.N. has donated a E.A.F. grant to GCS to help in this overwhelming effort. The help they need will continue as it will take many months for them to recover from the starvation, dehydration, wounds, abuse and the operations needed, in order to be ready for adoption and the hope of a new life. We thank our donors for your ongoing support so that we can reach out and change the outcome for these deserving hounds. Thanks to the end of the hunt season all our friends in Spain are battling each day to try to save the ones they can. With your help we can continue. Thank You.

Fencing and block pens are being erected now, and more building materials will be needed. G.R.I.N. has been able to help them start the project with a $1200.00 donation. Your contribution towards this project is essential for the future of GCS and the help they can offer their abandoned dogs. We ask that you consider this special project to make their dreams come true for 2012. Since donations are currently being matched, this will double your donation, stretching the dollars twice as far!

G.R.I.N. is also working with the oldest shelter in Cadiz Spain called Kimba to help them build a shelter. The modular building that was donated to them years ago is rotting and the floor is falling out, and they desperately need a replacement. The unit is used by the volunteers to change their clothes when they come to work, for potential adopters to have a place to fill out paperwork, and a wide variety other uses necessary to operations at the shelter. The cost of a modular building is approximately $1,200.00.

Season’s greetings from Galgo Rescue International Network! May your holidays be filled with family, friends, food, and fun — also, probably fur.

With the holidays upon us, now is the perfect opportunity for us to thank you for making a contribution to or otherwise supporting GRIN. 2011 has been a truly outstanding year for us, and your generousity  and support helped make it possible. That’s something for which we can all be thankful!

We all hope you take pride in the things we’ve been able to accomplish together — your support, and the support of fellow galgo and sighthound lovers, is what enables us to help so many in need.

In an incredible, unprecedented gesture, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous is matching all donations up to a total of $5,000! Meaning that right now, any contribution you make will go twice as far — will buy twice as much food, provide twice the medical supplies, build two times the shelters. Donations can be made via the PayPal button or the Network for Good button on our homepage.

Thank you, for all that you do for us and all you do for the hounds!

Wishing you the best and brightest and the warmest regards,
Galgo Rescue International Network
