Further down, we will provide you with a list of well-known organisations in Europe.
If you know of others, please get in touch.

The requirements for adopting or fostering a Galgo vary depending on the association. Many of them place Galgos across borders.

In any case, a questionnaire is required in which various questions about your family, your everyday life and your knowledge about the Galgo are clarified. Afterwards, a preliminary check will take place to clarify any final questions. Adoptions of dogs that are still in Spain are possible through the various associations.

Be mentally prepared for the fact that each association has its own views. Exclusion criteria are often a lack of a garden and also the question of the extent of your professional activity will certainly come up.

Also be aware that the dog you fell in love with online may not be a good fit for you due to its history or temperament.
There are hundreds of thousands of Galgos in placement and a variety of routes to adoption.
If you are convinced that you can do justice to a Galgo, your dog is out there waiting for you!
