Mac is about a 5 year old fawn male. He is blind in one eye but it does not present him any problems. Mac was fearful when he first arrived at Galgos del Sol but has completely come out of his shell and is good with people and other dogs. He lived in the finca (country property) with nine other galgos and had no issues with any of them. GFNJ was asked to bring him the U.S. through Galgos del Sol. We are happy to welcome him.
Foster Update 11/1/2015
Mac is a very handsome light fawn galgo boy who arrived from Spain on 10/23/15 and is currently in a foster home. We approximate that Mac is 5 1/2 years old. He has been blind in his left eye since birth, but this only seems to affect him when someone comes up on his blind side or he gets overwhelmed with someone/something approaching him from the front. Mac can initially be a bit reserved, but once comfortable he comes into his own and is happy and looking for affection and love. Mac's best day would include being able to curl up on the couch with his human close by, and he will let you know that he is not happy until that circumstance is accomplished. We are working on Mac's housebreaking skills; he is a good eater and travels nicely in the car. Mac is good with children but not with small animals.
Requirements and information to adopt
Galgos are a different breed from racing greyhounds and as such can be more energetic.
They were mostly used for hunting and are "streetwise" and like to be occupied although Mac seems to be settled.
**They can jump and climb and we do require a minimum of a 6 foot fence for any Galgo that we adopt.
They are generally very sweet and very cute.
They usually require the company of another greyhound or dog.
The adoption fee to adopt a Galgo from GFNJ is $500 which only partially defrays the cost of transportation and vetting expenses.
If you are interested in getting more information, please call Linda at 732-356-4370. You won't regret adopting a Galgo!!
Mac is fully vetted and has been tested negative for Leishmaniosis
