ion. He is housebroken and walks nicely on a harness lead although he gets very excited when he sees other dogs he doesn't know(barking). Jaxon is a good eater and although he could use a few pounds, he doesn't eat his food too quickly. A Galgo is a Spanish greyhound. Considering Jaxon has only been in this country for a week, he has settled in nicely and will make a great companion. Cat testing to be determined. Jaxon was rescued by Galgos DelSol (GDS) in Spain from another rescue group that disbanded. GDS had him for about 6 months before he arrived in the states. He is tattooed which usually indicates that he was a favorite of his galguero (hunter owner) and was probably surrendered to the rescue rather than being abandoned on the streets. Requirements and information to adopt Galgos are a different breed from racing greyhounds. They were mostly used for hunting and are "streetwise" and like to be occupied **They can jump and climb and we do require a minimum of a 6-foot fence for any Galgo that we adopt or walk on a leash. They are generally very sweet and very cute. They usually enjoy 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!! Jazon is fully vetted and has been tested negative for Leishmaniosis.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
