The day Melon the gorgeous Galgo got his large slice of happiness

Melon arrived in the UK in early May 2024, part of a group of 10 Spanish Galgos rescued by Galgos del Sol and brought to the UK for homing by Greyhounds in Need. Melon was actually the first of this group to be adopted and it was a lovely home with one of our previous adopters and there was even another galgo in residence so we were all confident that all would be well.

I’m happy to say that nearly all of the time all does go well and our galgos settle very well in their new homes. Now and again, sometimes for reasons that are not always obvious a galgo may not be happy and unfortunately this was the case for Melon. He had become very

anxious and reactive when meeting other dogs and the adopter was struggling.

We are always happy to provide continuing support for every adopter but despite a visit and assessment by our trustee Sam who is a qualified dog trainer and behaviourist, Melon didn’t

improve and after some discussion it was agreed that he should return to us.
