Why Greyhounds?
Explore Innovative Canine Care
- Greyhounds are gentle and affectionate companions who, unfortunately, often suffer abandonment and mistreatment after their racing career. We believe they deserve something better. Greyhounds are known for their gentle temperament, loyalty, and adaptability to family life. Despite their speed, they are calm dogs who enjoy the comfort of home and require less exercise than many people believe.
2018 - The Beginnings
Our organization was born from a small group of volunteers committed to rescuing abandoned greyhounds in Spain. We started with just five rescuers and a temporary shelter.
2020 - Expansion
We expanded our operations to include international adoption programs, allowing our greyhounds to find homes throughout Europe and North America.
2022 - Digital Innovation
We launched our Telegram game and NFT collection to create new ways to support our cause, combining blockchain technology with our greyhound rescue mission.
2024 - Present Day
Today, we have a global network of volunteers, partner shelters, and educational programs working together to transform the lives of greyhounds in need worldwide.
