A couple of weeks ago, 40 galgos arrived at Scooby Medina from Seville. Next week they are taking in 140 – yes, 140 – galgos from all over Spain. This is a message from Scooby’s President, Fermìn Pérez Martìn:

Hello to everybody:

I am writing to all of you because we are receiving a huge amount of pleas of help from everywhere for taking galgos from perreras all over Spain and I would like to count on you with your support financially and taking dog, you know that without all of you we will not be able to do it, we have the space and you have the rest so together we are a winning team, waiting for your answer.

Ed, the galgo in the front of the picture, has Erlichia AND Leishmania, so he was very lucky to have been picked up when he was found wandering around a village with Elsa the other Galga in the photo. He is being treated firstly for the Erlichia which has had this handsome guy lying in his bed over the weekend, eating ok but sleeping a lot and obviously feeling quite rough.. .and on top of all that he only has one ‘testicle’ AND his tail doesn’t work, as in ‘wag’, So WHEN all the medication has finished in about a month, he will also be castrated, which will be a bigger op than normal for a castration. He will have an xray on his back end to see if there is any damage or just some inflamation which is causing it.

If you can help in anyway toward the vetenary care and medication it would be greatly appreciated. either to PayPal roberta-brown@sky.com or sherliebradley@yahoo.co.uk, collecting on behalf of AWSM. State it is for Ed. Thank you
