SOS Galgos - an adoption group formed in 2000 in Barcelona, Spain by Anna Clements and Albert Sordé. Their efforts extend both to the greyhounds at the remaining greyhound race track in Barcelona as well as to the native Spanish Galgo. They are unique in that they focus on the adoption of galgos as pets WITHIN Spain. They are very active in the educational and legislative arena also, addressing the root of the galgo problem - overbreeding, lack of enforcement of existing laws, and lack of homes.
