  • Protectora Scooby – galgo with a damaged nose

    Scooby galgo with nose 1 400 2 2022
    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

    If you can’t adopt, but you want to help us continue saving lives, you can do it in the following ways:

  • 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

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – no end to the abandonment

    GRA 3 galgos 12 2021 400
    No end to the abandonment of hunting dogs and it’s not yet the end of the hunting season in Spain!!

    Galgos Rescue Almeria were alerted to these 3 abandoned souls and asked to take them if they could be caught.

    People with a big heart for animals tried a few hours to gain their trust. Unfortunately they only saw 2 of them.
    After some time they managed to save both ( one male / one female ). Hopefully the third one can also been saved, fingers crossed

    Two of the three galgos who were wondering around in El Ejido area are safe now at GRA. First of all many thanks Nathalie and Patrick for not giving up on them and to bring them to our shelter. The nights are getting colder and it’s a very dangerous area so hopefully the third one shows up again and can be also be brought to safety.
