Eva from Scooby Medina has sent a second list of galgos who have been in the refuge for over a year. Many of them were part of over 200 taken in a rescue in Seville in November 2007. They desperately need foster and adoption homes.
If any of you can take any of these dogs, either through your own association to refuges away from Spain, or offer foster or adoption homes, please get in touch with Scooby as a matter of priority.
Here’s one sweet girl. Paz, pictured, female
Paz arrived on February 6, 2008. She is a little beauty and has no problems. Being at the shelter for almost a year now, she would benefit from a home environment.
The plight of the galgos continues – the Spanish refuges and associations are overwhelmed with abandoned dogs. Here are some long-time residents with Scooby Medina, desperately needing homes, to make way for new incomers. Meet Laila who urgently needs to leave the shelter.
Laila – female (Urgent)
You can see that she has had way too many puppies. She is timid and the last I heard she is also getting skinny because she is not confident enough to eat with other dogs around. So, if I was to pick an urgent case to leave the shelter now, it would be her.
Eva describes some of the others. Check out the Scooby Medina website for more information.
Meet Nanni, just 3 years old and a very handsome, striking galgo. He spent a night at my home recently during a rescue by L’Europe des Levriers, when 10 galgo puppies and a dozen galgos were brought out of Spain.
Most of the dogs are either adopted or have foster homes. But Nanni is still searching. If we had not already got Floyd, our French lurcher X, I would take Nanni like a shot!
He’s a bit nervous, but not been maltreated. He ended up in a perrera and was due to be put down. He’s got his Spanish passport, castrated, microchipped and vaccinated, please give this VERY handome chap a chance of a family life.
Contact L’Europe des Levriers.
This is a podenco puppy needing a home before Christmas and for life. A few weeks ago hunters were about and had a pack of dogs with them.
A few days later a puppy appeared at a friend’s home. She is around 3-4 months old and will be rough-coated. She has a very sweet temperament, loves everybody and everything.
She is lying around our friend’s house, he has no fences, is unable to keep her, has tried all the refuges – they are full – and the vet surgeries. She has no microchip and no one recognises her from around this area. The hunters never came back for her.

NOW HAPPILY WITH A ‘FOREVER’ FAMILY.
These two galgos were brought out of Spain by Amigos de Los Galgos early in the year.
They have been together in foster care since then, with Joanna Simm, and they are still waiting for their forever home.
Nevado is a stunning pure white galgo, 2 years old, living in France with an English family.
They have to return to the UK and unfortunately cannot take Nevado with them, (Spanish paperwork not correct for UK) so are desperately seeking a loving home for him.
He is a gentle, affectionate, playful boy, house trained, fine with other dogs, cats and horses. He is castrated, microchipped, fully vaccinated and blood tested for leishmania, ehrlichia and filaria (all negative).
This is a link to him http://www.adopter-levrier.com/adoptions.php
Contact L’Europe des Levriers direct to adopt him. There is an English page.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me, I am now strong enough to search for a family. I want to thank everyone who has helped me get better. I now have the will to live again. Matilda.
Good News. Matilda is now up for adoption. Contact Greyhoundsrescue Holland.
Passion Levriers are appealing urgently for new homes for two galgos. They have been returned by their adoptant, who had decided that life in an apartment is not good for them.
They are affectionate and very sociable with other dogs and cats.
Viernes, is a black galgo, 7 years old. Esma is 2 and a half years old.
They need a new home quickly as they are showing signs of becoming stressed by their current unsettled situation.

I’ve received this message from Antonia, who is a volunteer and moderator of www.nordicdreams.org.
A few days ago I was told about a galgo to be sacrificed. We have one week.
The galga is called Shaila – Sheila. She is 9 years old, sterilized, very affectionate and obedient, and gets on well with other dogs, both male and female.
It’s desperate that we get Sheila out of the perrera urgently. This is the link to her.
