Increase AWARENESS about the plight of galgos and podencos.

To increase AWARENESS about the plight of Galgos – Spanish greyhounds – and of the Podencos, another Spanish hunting breed that also faces a grim future. To promote ADVOCACY for laws to protect these elegant creatures, thousands of which are killed, tortured or abandoned in Spain each year. To encourage ADOPTION of the hundreds of dogs rescued each year, because Galgos and Pods make great pets.

🐾🐕🇪🇸 COMING SOON — OCTOBER 3RD! 🇪🇸🐕🐾

💜 Q4 2026 Galgopod FUNDRAISER 💜

“It Takes a Dedicated Village"

On October 3rd, we’ll launch our final Galgopod fundraiser of 2026, proudly benefiting two wonderful animal rescue organizations in Spain: Proyecto Berta and GALGOS (oficial). 🐕🏠❤️

🇪🇸 Proyecto Berta, based in Málaga province in southern Spain, is a small grassroots rescue dedicated to saving dogs in need. Their work includes rescue, rehabilitation and adoption, while also recruiting foster families and volunteers and promoting animal-welfare education and awareness.

🇪🇸 GALGOS (oficial), based in the Barcelona area of Catalonia, is a well-established galgo rescue and advocacy organization. In addition to rescuing, rehabilitating and finding loving homes for galgos, SOS Galgos works to create lasting change through education, public awareness and legislative advocacy.

🧡💜 Though they work in different parts of Spain and in different ways, both organizations share the same goal: giving vulnerable dogs the second chance they deserve.

And none of this lifesaving work happens alone. It takes rescuers, foster families, adopters, volunteers, advocates and supporters like YOU.

🐾 Because saving these beautiful souls truly does take a Dedicated Village. 🐾

Stay tuned… our Q4 fundraiser begins October 3rd! 🇪🇸🐕💕

************Post of the Day - Arrival Announcements*************

🇪🇸✈️🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💕🇺🇸🏠 🐾 New Beginnings - 10 rescues from SOS Galgos USA located in Barcelona have arrived to Orlando and were welcomed by Greyhounds in Motion .🐾

🤞🐕🏠 As you can see in the photos below many of these gorgeous sighthounds have gone to a forever home, but there are still some looking for their forever home.

🙋‍♀️🙋If you’re interested in welcoming one of these wonderful rescues into your family, please reach out to Greyhounds in Motion for more information.

❤️ Every adoption creates two opportunities for a new beginning: one for the dog who finally finds the loving forever home they deserve, and another for the dog in Spain who can now take their place and be rescued.
