    GRA Niko 400 10 220
    Do you remember Nico, the galga rescued in poor condition from a beach in Almeria. She has recovered well in the hands of Galgo’s Rescue Almeria and is now reserved for her forever home.

    Sandy says, ‘This is Nico, she is a long-haired galgo of 3 years old. Nico came to GRA in very bad circumstances, she was skinny, bald on her ears and was covered in fleas / sign. She tested negative for Erlichia / Anaplasma and Filaria but positive for Leish. She already received treatment with Milteforan that is finished and is now 2 tablets twice a day. This amazing girl has been fully vaccinated, chip / European passport and sterilized. Nico has a sweet character and other dogs are doing fine.’

    Hoping she has a long and happy life ahead of her.

  • 2nd October – Black Galgo Day – 3 terrified black galgos at Scooby needing understanding homes

    Scooby black galgos 400 2 10 2020
    From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid

    ‘2nd October was black galgo day. Well, in Scooby we have lots of them. These 3, and they are terrified. They prefer not to look at you because they hope that you´re not really there. They were not born like this, they were born as normal dogs but with abnormal owners. They have turned into nocturnal dogs, only come out at night to eat and take some fresh air, but the day they spend in their doghouse where they feel safe with the others and don´t have to face the cruel world in which they think they live.

    This is how they become when they never get love or a friendly word, a compliment, a nice belly rub or good food when they are hungry. No, they only get a big mouth, loud and angry voices, abuse, hunger, mistreatment and in the end, when not killed, they are left to their fate, in the field, a perrera or a shelter and that´s fatal for a sensitive dog like a galgo.

    But at least they´re safe in Scooby now and we´ll do anything to make them ¨whole¨again.

    Churo, Zarito and Fawini.

    Contact Scooby if you can offer a forever home to one of these innocent souls.
