From Fermin Perez at Protectora Scooby.
One of our most harrowing rescue missions in a long time was at Halloween on 31 October. We received a call from a hunter who was giving up hunting and wanted his 9 galgos to come into Scooby’s care. We drove in the pouring rain to the address we were given. The circumstances the dogs were kept in were some of the most horrific I’ve seen in many years. The conditions were absolutely squalid: Debris, filth, rats and an unbearable stench. The galgos themselves were not in bad shape. They needed vet care, castrating/ spaying and rehab.
We were surprised not to find physical injury or ruising given the galgos had to navigate loose metal, door frames and masonry. The floor was covered with a matted kind of wool which made the smell worse. Of the 9, 4 were fearful. These 4 are a family: mum, dad and their two young pups of about a year old. The other 5 seemed to be confident, wagging their tails as we approached them. We found one of them climbing in the ‘rafters’ trying to escape, luckily we got to him before he emerged onto the road. Thankfully all of the galgos are well and their characters are emerging.
