This is a sign that a vast network of organizations, animal protection associations, groups and rescues from all around the world have taken to heart the fate of the Greyhounds and Galgos of Portugal.
Albano Martins, Christine Dorchak and I would like to thank all the organizations, groups and rescues who have responded to our appeal so far.

Please join our coalition Save the Greyhounds and Galgos of Portugal and help us to raise awareness and call for protection laws and severe penalties for anyone who exploits, mistreats, abandons or kills greyhounds and galgos in racing, coursing and hunting with galgos in Portugal.
What is needed more than ever is a special commitment from all animal lovers.
The greyhounds and galgos of Portugal are counting on us!
Thank you!
