Their keepers often kill them in gruesome and inhumane ways that are too distressing to detail on this website. If you are interested in finding out more, please follow the links to the Galgo rescues on the links page.

Most of them can live happily with cats and children, and the rescues we have links to will be gladly recommend a dog that fits your lifestyle. They range from very small to greyhound size and can be smooth coated or rough.
