What is a Galgo?

The Galgo Español or Spanish greyhound is an ancient breed and a member of the sighthound family. Despite being called a “greyhound”, the Spanish Galgo is not closely related to the English or Irish Greyhound, the lineage of the two breeds being different.

In ancient times the galgo was a prized possession, but currently they have become disposable “hunting tools”. GDS believes Galgos are an intergral part of Spanish legacy and deserve to be returned to a place of respect. 

Galgos are widely used by hunters in the rural areas of Spain for both hunting and hare coursing with betting. They are considered disposable and when the short hunting season ends each year, tens of thousands are abandoned or brutally killed by their owners to whom they are no longer of use.

The lucky ones are found roaming the streets and picked up by Galgo Del Sol who work tirelessly to rehabilitate and rehome the poor souls.

Galgo Del Sol need continuing support to continue the great work they are doing in saving these dogs life.
