About Us
Lucas, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lucas
Age: 2.5 years old
Gender: Male Breed: Galgo (Spanish Greyhound)
Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
 
   Lucas has been with us for only a short while, but he's a special little Galgo. He was born in Spain, left behind at a young age, possibly because he is very small for a male Galgo. Luckily he ended up at the FBM (Fundación Benjamin Mehnert) shelter in Spain and was well cared for there for about ten months before we saw him on the GRH (Greyhound Rescue Holland) website, asked about adopting him and, since we were going to be in Europe anyway, we brought him back with us on the airplane.

    We currently have five other Greyhounds or Galgos at home, so Lucas has many playmates. We feel that our Jamey brought Lucas to us, from the Rainbow Bridge.

    Lucas is very playful, very sociable and very smart. He has already learned many things about life in a home, in the few weeks he has been with us. He has even encountered spring snow already! We hope to have many wonderful years with Lucas; rescued dogs do make wonderful pets!
