This week Scooby added 3 more galgos to the hundreds they have waiting for forever homes. Here’s what Cobie writes.
‘Cobie Steketee
So, at last all the surviving dogs from the shit hole perrera from Mairena have been taken out of that hell. From what I understand it was a big chaos, somebody opened doors from cages and with an open gate at that time, some 30 dogs escaped, it seems that still some galgos are running free there in the neighbourhood.

From my facebook page, don’t know the name of the author.
My dogs live here; they’re here to stay.
You don’t like pets, be on your way.
They share my home, my food, my space.
This is their home, this is their place.
You will find dog hair on the floor,
They will alert you’re at the door.
They may request a little pat,
A simple “no” will settle that.
Prodeanse in Seville have taken 6 dogs from Mairena – 3 galgos and 3 Bodogueros. They need funds to pay for the vet fees and food for the dogs. Here’s what Loli says (Bing translation).
It’s got the email address for the president of the Junta of Andalucia, the emails and addresses for the Spanish embassy in Paris and the Spain’s permanent representaton at the European Council. Might be a good one to pass along to your readers. The Mairena video is on a lot of sites… it might be the one that will make things move, I hope.

And another poor galgo needing help, with another small shelter in Seville.
This young galga has been named “REGALO” (gift in spanish), she was found with a badly broken jaw and a severe infection. She has been taken in by the shelter La Candela Hogar Refugio near Seville and is in Malaga at a vet hospital with strong antiinflamatories and antibiotics.
‘Ariel Sarabria, our veterinary expert in trauma has operated on Regalo. He managed to implant the prosthesis and nails to knit the bone to return it to function and enable Regalo to open and close her mouth, to give her the most normal life possible.
The end of the hunting season draws near and the refuges and perreras are full to overflowing with dumped hunting dogs, mainly galgos and podencos. Pepis is no exception and I met many of their galgos when I visited recently. Some of the newest galgos are at the top of this page but scroll right down and you’ll find others like Richardo, Passarella, Dina…who have been waiting too long. Please consider taking one into your home and heart, you will be rewarded with a heap of love.
The latest to join the refuge is stunning white Lacey (above), abandoned and eventually caught by a local hunter and brought to the refuge.
Another petition to sign – please do – they want 100,00 signatures.
