The origin of Galgos Rescue Almería
What started as an idea to open a dog boarding kennel on a piece of land in Cuevas del Almanzora, grew into a safe haven for the most vulnerable souls.
The idea of a dog boarding kennel soon took a completely different turn, one that would change the lives of many dogs.
On August 13, 2017, an urgent request came in: whether we could help with a heavily pregnant galgo. Of course, we said yes.

Protectora Scooby Medina is overflowing with beautiful galgos hoping for forever homes.

Quite a few are traumatised after a hellish life at the hands of the galgueros, so they need special quiet homes preferably with another dog, so they can gain confidence and become 'normal' dogs. Sometimes this can take a couple of years. But they are so forgiving and it is very rewarding to know you have helped them gain trust in humans. Here are a couple of videos of some of these hounds, hopefully you can view them.

Introducing Morgan with Galgos 112. Morgan is a young galguit, not even two years old, who was abandoned by some soulless in a village. The kennel was warned but he got lucky and finished us. Since then he is in residence and he is spending it there regularly, he is a very sensitive greyhound and he is not used to both dogs and barking.
Already been to the vet and his blood tests are good, dewormed and vaccinated.
He's pretty calm in nature. A little unconfident with strangers but loving with the people they meet.
We are looking for Morgan a quiet family that lives in an area without a lot of noise of people and cars. No need for them to have another dog, we think Morgan, although she gets along smoothly with other dogs, can get used to being the only dog in her family.
He can also live with cats.
If you would like to foster or adopt Morgan write to [email protected] and tell us your town and a contact phone number.

From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria
Gineta is a proud 15-year-old black Galgo, her past is and remains a big mystery. She doesn’t look 15 but everything has been checked, chip number, date of implantation, and date of first rabies vaccination and the only conclusion is that her date of birth is indeed 02-06-2010. Her soft eyes tell stories of pain and disappointment, but also of an indestructible spirit.

They move in silence, shadows slipping between olive groves and abandoned buildings, forgotten by those who once used them. Their ribs press against thin skin, their eyes—if they survive long enough—turn dull with despair. The ghosts of Spain are not myths or legends; they are the souls of the Galgos and Podencos discarded each year after the hunting season, their suffering woven into the landscape like an unspoken curse.
Some are left to starve, wandering until their bodies give out. Others meet a crueler fate—hanged, drowned, tossed aside as if their lives meant nothing. Yet, if you listen, you can still hear them. In the quiet of an empty field, in the distant echo of paws that once ran with joy, in the wind that carries their unspoken pleas for mercy.
But ghosts don’t have to remain ghosts. Rescue gives them form again—flesh, warmth, love. Awareness gives them voices. And action gives them justice.
Don’t let them fade. Speak for them. Fight for them. Give Spain’s forgotten souls the ending they deserve. #Galgos #Podencos

From Galgos 112
Hey there!! I introduce myself!! My name is NICO and I'm a blonde and white greyhound. I am only 2 years old. By my face and hair some people think I can be a little crazy, but... i promise you i won't ! I'm pretty good (almost). They say I'm nice and the truth is I love being with you humans who play with me and pet me. I like being with other dogs too we had so much fun running and playing!.
I lived with my brothers, but one day they separated me from them and took me to a kennel. It was an ugly dark place. All the dogs there were sad and scared, they didn't want to play, I got that sadness and I also went hungry and scared. But now I'm out!... and I've been told that very soon someone will notice me and want to adopt me. I don't know what "adopt me" means must be a very good thing. I have also been told that I will have a family that will love me very much and will take care of me. I don't know if it's true but I prefer to think it is.

Ika is looking for a home where she feels safe and loved!
Ika is a beautiful galga cross about 1 year old, medium in size and a soul full of cuteness. She was found abandoned in a field, scared and without knowing who to trust. She's a *very scared* puppy, but with patience and love, she's taking baby steps. What's clear is that he loves the company of other animals: she gets along great with dogs and also cats, so it would be ideal for a home with more furry companions.
We are looking for a peaceful and patient family for her, who respects her rhythm and gives her the security she needs to come out of her shell and show how sweet, good and adorable she really is. Delivered vaccinated, dewormed, chipped, sterilized and blood tested.
If you think you can give Ika the chance she so deserves, contact us at (Spain 0034) 674 476 810
Help her find the home where she can be happy!
