ISLA. Female Galga. 70 cm. Date of entry 11-11-2020.
Why is she there, because she had the misfortune to be born a galga in Spain where the galgueros treat them as trash.

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.

‘I have a sanctuary for oldies but recently I found a dumped galga, highly pregnant and same night mummie delivered 5 gorgeous babies. Unfortunately mum was so severely abused that she passed away and I had to raise them on my own.

‘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.

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

‘In Scooby Medina:
Luckily, more and more people are deciding to give a galgo a home, but generally people are looking for “perfect” galgos. Handsome, that they get along with other dogs and cats and that they are not afraid.
There are many galgos, like Hava, who are fearful or shy, but it is only until they are in a quiet place and little by little they trust those people they see every day and see that they are not going to hurt them.
These galgos also deserve a family that loves them and a comfortable home and they need it more than the other ones, since they have a bit of a hard time in the shelter.
If you want to adopt Hava or some other shy galguito (there are many waiting), send us an email to internationaladoptions@scoobymedina.org

My galga Carmela was 4 years old when she came to me, terrified of being in the house. It took 2 1/2 years for her to become a ‘normal’ dog, helped by her buddy Sahara who did not have any fear.
