    Scooby sick galga 400 10 2024
    we have to tell you a case that we need your help.

    We recently picked up in Palencia a galguita tied near our facilities, some soulless had abandoned it.
    She’s about 4 years old, she had many wounds and we think she was stabbed because she’s very shy, but very good.

    Well when taking her to our veterinary hospital for a checkup, our beloved vet who had more problems, ran several tests and noticed something in her blood. After conducting a test we got the bad surprise that Ehrlichia and Leishmania has. We’ve let her in for a few days while she gets cures and treatment for both illnesses. She’s been bathed with a special shampoo and she’s slowly recovering.

    From SOS Podencos – at one point the water was waste deep.

    Most of our dogs are out of the kennel and placed into temporary foster homes. The two remaining are inside the house that is in the kennel, and they will leave today.
    There are still other dogs in the kennel that aren’t ours, but it seems the legal owners don’t want them to go into foster homes..

    Now is the time to clean, fix and rebuild!
    If you can come help, it will be appreciated.
    Here is a video of the state of the kennel. It’s full of mud and water. The fences are broken, ripped from the ground. All the dog food is gone. The dog beds are gone or broken.
