  • Protectora Scooby always there for the hounds

    Scooby Tormenta 1 400
    This photo is of beautiful galga Tormenta, found abandoned with an enormous would in her side, several weeks ago. The photo of when she was found is on this weblink, be warned, upsetting pic.

    Cobie tells the story.

    ‘Tormenta was found abandoned with an enormous wound on her left side. She was treated, also with lasertherapy, for weeks but she has recuperated completely, just a scar and that’s all. So now she is looking for her forever home. She is very lively, just a bit over 1 year young, and an active family with maybe a few children who can play with her and make long walks, I’m sure she would love that! She is not scared or anybody, good on the lead, good with cats and a very happy, lovely small girl. Chip:…7466.

  • Love me like animals love….poignant poem

    Beautiful poignant words which were on the facebook post about a terrified podenco in Jerez perrera.

    IF YOU WANT TO LOVE ME…

    Love me like animals love,
    with a love that is not postponed for later, with a desire that knows no middle ground, with the fidelity that is always taking care of us, and with the naked gaze that never criticizes.

    love me like animals love
    with that tenderness that never manipulates,
    with a silence that makes everything comfortable, without urgency and with all his presence, where there is no room for indifference.

    love me like animals love
    with a tongue that does not hurt and if it kisses,
    with a claw of courage that never threatens,
    with that unconditionality that does not abandon, and with the peace of the true rational being.

    love me like animals love

    2 tiny galgo puppies found abandoned and suffering from a bad case of mange. Now after a couple of days’ treatment, they are starting to look better. Will take a while for their coats to regrow. Please donate to their treatment, Scooby is desperately short of funds and they have hundreds of galgos and podencos to care for, not counting the other animals including horses.

  • Slovenia Sighthound Society – working with Protectora Scooby for the galgos

    Scooby Slovenia volunteers400 5 2022
    There are currently over 450 dogs in Scooby and its smaller ‘branches’ so our help was more than needed.

    In four working days we sterilized 9 dogs, neutered 17 dogs and 1 goat, performed 2 second surgeries (wound treatment) and took care of hospitalized and sick dogs. In addition to the veterinary work, we cleaned all the fences, clipped some dogs, trimmed the long claws, gave them antiparasitics, took care of the chickens. We sincerely thank all the employees and volunteers at the shelter who work every day for these animals.

    And most of all – got a lot of energy and new ideas for work for the future. Will you help us with this?

    Thank you to everyone who supports us so we can help us further!

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    13836ANITA01

    Terrible news from Scooby, they are full and running out of funds.

    Fermin Perez, president of Scooby, said: “We’ve had a tough few months with more galgos and podencos dumped than more or less ever before. The flow of galgos and podencos has been unrelenting after the most recent hare coursing season.

    “We are not the only shelter to experience this. Fellow rescues agree that we have not seen peak numbers like this since about 30 years ago.

    “We have rescued 450 galgos and podencos, with 200 other breeds in the shelter as well. Quite simply, Scooby is full and we cannot rescue more dogs for time being.

    “As you can imagine this places significant pressure on our resources and we are now in survival mode.

    “We will need to solve this crisis if we are to continue.”
