  • What to consider when adopting a dog – Protectora Scooby

    Protectora Scooby 1 dog 400
    From Protectora Scooby

    ‘All dogs are wonderful beings and amazing life partners but as much as we like animals, not everyone has to square up with our character and lifestyle, so it is best to be informed about the characteristics and necessities of the animal race/breed (if we know which one it is) before adopting him and above all, it is very important to be advised by the people who care and know them before taking the final step to expand your family with a four-legged companion.

    Many times people adopt dogs or cats because of how beautiful they are physically or because they follow a fashion, regardless of the character and needs of the chosen animal and that adoption generally ends in failure.

    This is said, to all of you who are thinking of sharing your lives with a dog or cat we encourage you to do so, but always responsibly and after meditating on it a lot.

    There are lots of animals in Scooby waiting for someone to give them a chance.

  • Galgos 112 – saving 70 abandoned dogs in Jaen

    Galgos 112 1 400
    From Galgos 112

    ‘We aren’t very good at posting numbers of our rescuers but for once, we’re going to do it at least in partial mode.

    From January 1 to March 8, 2022 there are 70 dogs picked up from the street alone in the Jaén delegation. Dogs that were abandoned, many with fractures and mostly sick, some in gravity. Of these 70 dogs one is a mastin, the other is a pointer, 3 are galgo crosses, 6 are podencos and the remaining 59 are galgos. 2 have passed away, 24 have been adopted and the rest some are still recovering and others waiting for adoption.

    We don’t lie when we ask for financial help or foster homes, nor when we say we can’t anymore and that we need adoptions. I wish it wasn’t necessary, but the situation of Galgos in Spain is what it is. Numbers sing though many deny it and want to shut us up.

  • Galgo Drack at death’s door – safe with Animal Rescue Spain

    Animal Rescue Spain Drack 400 4 2022
    From Animal Rescue Spain

    ‘He walked along the road, without strength, bleeding from his legs from spending days walking on the asphalt, desperately looking for food, with his skin stuck to his bones and about to die of starvation. We have called him Drack. We are healing his wounds, his physical and soul wounds, even though he only thinks about eating. This galgo is synonymous with strength and struggle, abandonment and indifference. He is already in Animal Rescue Spain, cared for, protected, resting. He doesn’t know it, but he will never suffer again.

    Since his arrival he has already gained 2 kilos, but is still very thin. His infectious disease tests came back negative and that broke our hearts even more, because that’s how we know Drack got to this state – because of lack of food, they tried to starve him to death, and they surely threw him in the bones into the street. He walked for days and days down the road, where his legs were smashed and his pads were left raw, full of wounds and with a voracious hunger. Drack is now reborn at Animal Rescue Spain and reminds us that dogs are strong and grateful. Every caress, every can, every cure, every sausage, every treat, returns a look of gratitude on their part and that is our greatest reward.

  • 2 galgo Sisters with Amigo Galgos – hoping for a forever home

    Amigo Galgo 2 sisters 400 2 2022
    From Amigo Galgo

    BIMBA and LOLA; two Galgalese sisters in adoption. The first thing you thought when you saw their pictures is: “They are so beautiful! And they are. It’s true. Spectacular. And they are in every way.

    The red collar is Bimba and the green collar is Lola. They are two very young sisters. Two years old. And healthy like apples.
    They want to die with each other so we will never separate them. They are constantly looking for each other. They don’t know how to stay away from each other. Lola is more outgoing, more confident and sociable. Shyest baby, moves more carefully in places she doesn’t know. Lola treats her sister with immense cuteness; she carries toys, licks her ears and face… her gestures of love are very emotional. What sensitivity and delicacy they treat!

    It’s beautiful to see them playing, fun, enjoying, as if there were no more beings in the world. They. Always together.
    I said it; we shall not separate them. Who are we to break their hearts? They deserve to live and, in the end, die as they were born: together.
