    Scooby needs some help

    In Scooby we have never hesitate to help all the animals we could, our friends from Andalucia, Extremadura, Murcia, Castile la Mancha desperately asked us for help for the galgos and podencos, hunting dogs and some mestiz os, all this knowing that from our land we were getting enormous amounts of animals but we could not turn our back on them and now we find that we have about 500 between galgos and podencos, 500 animals that need to eat, need to be cleaned and need treatments see Terinaries, almost 80% of the clinic and hospital work they are for our own animals, castrate them, vaccinate them, various operations, blood tests.

    We have had to hire more staff and now we need you, we need to pay the workers, our thought providers, vaccines, bisturics, etc.

    We need people who want to organize events to raise funds. At Scooby we have always hesitated to ask for little and now we need it. If you can help us, they will thank you. Plus donations to Scooby are indestructible.

    If you want to help us continue saving and changing lives, you can do so in the following ways:

  • 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.

    From Scooby

    ‘Look at his nose. It’s one of the galguitos rescued in Andalusia and we don’t know what could have happened to him. We hope it was a misfortune accident and not that the man’s hand is behind.

    His name is Copernico and his nose will stay like this forever, but we don’t think this is an impediment for this handsome galguito to quickly find a family that will take care of him and love him as he deserves.

    If you want to share your life with Copernico or need more information, email adopciones@scoobymedina.org

  • Finding the right home for a rescue dog

    Often the history of a rescue dog is unknown. The dog’s character needs to be assessed by the staff in the kennels or by a fosterer to ensure that the right home is found, both for the dogs but also the right dog for the adoptant. It’s easier said than done, as dogs behave differently in different situations with different people. So here’s an article on the subject, read the full piece on this weblink
