About Avispa "Avi"

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Color: Light Brindle

Avispa "Avi" is a Galgo who we recently welcomed from Galgos DelSol (GDS) in Spain.  Avispa is the sister of Guindilla and they are a pair of real sweeties.  Avispa is super friendly, happy and curious and just plain sweet.  The folks at GDS described her as, "Avispa and her equally gorgeous sister Guindilla were turned in b their galguerro.  Concerned at first, they quickly get into the swing of things with madly wagging tails and excitement to meet everyone.  Approximately four years old, we would like them to be homed together or at least with another Galgo or greyhound."   We agree with this description and enjoyed working with both Avispa and her adorable sister, Guindilla.  She was cat tolerant with supervision and walked nicely on leash.

We require a 6-foot fence or no fence and walking on leash of the Galgo because some galgos are known to be able to jump over a 4-foot fence.  In addition, it is a requirement of GDS, and one that we indorse, that the dogs wear a tracking collar should there be an unfortunate incident of the Galgo getting loose.
