  • Galgo Vitorio and Podenco Nube – waiting in Malaga for years for forever homes

    The Hairy Smile 2 dogs 400 5 2022
    So sad that so many rescued Spanish hounds wait for years in a shelter in the hope one day they will have a forever home. Here are 2, in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga 29120.

    ‘Both have been waiting for years behind bars. (Contact: The Hairy Smile – La Sonrisa Peluda) 652813071 Málaga!!

    VITORIO (Galgo) and NUBE (Podenca Campanero) are the most abused breeds in this disgusting country!!!! As much as they are publicised, NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE seems to see them. BARS AND CHAINS ARE THE SADDEST “LIFE” THAT CAN EVER EXIST IN THIS WORLD But I’ll continue to infinity and beyond to hope to find them forever homes.

    Nube and Vitorio, bored in the shelter after all night in their kennel, bored of life in the shelter… they deserve a home, a family to have a real life with. No matter how much we give them love and care, they are not happy, they deserve so much more and no one gives it, why? Sad so sad. 7 and 5 years roughly respectively, a lot of life ahead, and if no one fixes it, they will spend the rest of their lives here, with the only family that has helped them even if it’s not enough . Only you can prevent it, SPREAD, ADOPT, ADOPT. Malaga.

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again – it’s never ending, please donate to help

    Scooby Tamara 400 1 5 2022
    Yet another poor galga desperately needing help. Here’s her story.

    ‘So many galgos saved, so many galgos in poor condition, so many medical costs,so many more requests for taking in galgos but our financial position does not allow this, that is what it is.

    But when the police bring us this poor girl with a badly broken leg, she´s also covered in ticks, we just can’t say no because in the perrera they will not operate her, probably they will put her down. We just can’t let that happen because she is maybe 1 year young so she still has an entire life ahead. The operation will cost almost 1000 Euros and we count totally on the help from you, the public, to help us to make it posible for Tamara, that’s the name we gave her, to be operated so she can make a new start in life.

    Together we can make her whole again!

    Bank account Scooby: ES8400495219542216459780.

    Paypal: fundacion@scoobymedina.org and please put Tamara. Thanks in her name!

  • 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

  • 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.”
