It can live for many years and you should be aware that your commitment has to last the whole of the animal’s life.You should also bear in mind that, as with any pet, owning a galgo entails a series of financial responsibilities and dedication on your part.
If you decide to adopt or host a galgo you will have our support. We conduct a preliminary interview, give advice and provide continued support to the adopter during the pre-adoption period, helping you with all the means at our disposal to deal with any adoption problems that may arise.
If you don't think you can adopt right now, consider supporting us in other ways.
Galgos love company and therefore make ideal companions. They tend to be rather lazy and are generally more than happy to curl up somewhere cosy at home. In common with other dogs, they do not like to be on their own.
Galgos run very fast and have excellent eyesight, so it’s advisable always to have them on a lead when you’re out walking them.
