There are numerous organizations having rescue Salukis available for adoption. Every dog deserves a loving home. Once you have sufficient knowledge on the Saluki breed, you are welcome to fill out an adoption application. If you wish to volunteer, remember that your help is always needed, albeit it fostering Salukis, mentoring potential owners, assisting financially, traveling and transporting. Salukis - Maintenance
Salukis are easy to groom. Smooth Salukis have short, sleek hair that requires occasional brushing and bathing. The other type is the Saluki with feathering on the ears, thighs and tail. Pay more attention to the longer-haired parts of the dog. The Saluki is an average shedder. Check the dog's ears on a regular basis to make sure that they are clean and free of infections. Salukis are clean dogs, with little or no doggy odor. Salukis - Living Conditions
The Saluki is an active breed, and it is not recommended for apartment living without a yard. The dog should sleep indoors. They do well in warm temperatures. Natural athletes, the Salukis need plenty of exercise to keep them in good condition. Salukis - Diet
Salukis tend to eat less than other breeds. The Saluki has a small amount of body fat not because it eats very little, although Salukis can be picky eaters, but mostly because they can run approximately 35 miles per hour. Feed Salukis with high quality foods. Salukis - Clubs Links
