Adoption
Galgo in the spotlight
Tete 7189 - Male - 7 years
Tete was found exhausted and more dead than alive on the 1st of October 2023 in the endless campo where you can walk for miles in all directions without ever seeing a willing helpful person, let alone finding food or water... Because it was so close to the hunting season, he was most likely tested by being forced to walk on a leash behind a jeep, he could not come along when the speed was increased and was left to his fate on the spot, as has happened to so many. Fortunately, he was found and brought in and has been able to leave the misery behind him over the past year.
Tete is a very beautiful, sweet, quiet and affectionate gentleman who is waiting for a home and house and kind people who he will thank unconditionally and give all his love for the chance he gets. Considering his age, the wait should not be too long because he deserves to belong to someone and be safe. Maybe you are that someone.
Thank you for reading this.

All greyhounds that are offered for adoption in the photographs below have spent the necessary time in quarantine; their blood is tested, they are vaccinated, castrated or sterilized and have (usually) had their teeth cleaned. They have the chip, their European passport and all necessary documents; as validated below and witnessed by a valid and licensed veterinarian. The dogs are, unless mentioned otherwise, kind, affectionate, gentle and calm animals that can (usually) live together in easy harmony with other dogs and pets. Children are no problem except that they may not scare these gentle and sometimes timid dogs. If the dog has a specific story then you will be told; most of them have been "dumped" or brought to us by the "galguero’s" and since have proved themselves at the shelter. Some are found left behind at vacant houses or are tied up with a metal bow around the leg; left behind to die. Many of them carry the physical spurs of their past, which translates to old scars, but except for that, the dogs are in good health. Others among them have been mutilated. When you wish more information you can always call to the responsible of your region or take up contact with Greyhounds in Nood Belgium. The adoption fee is 350 € for members and adopters who are membre and 380 € for new adopters for whom the membership fee for the first year is included. The registration of your name in Belgium is included in the contribution. Thanks for your visit to our site; we appreciate your trust and support!
