  • Galgos112 – abandoned Benjamin finally safe

    Galgos112 Ben 400 8 2020
    From Galgos112.

    ‘Good luck arrived for Benjamin (Ben) and he still doesn’t know it. He went to a bar area and terraces looking for food, people threw him out of there but hunger was stronger than fear, he came back again and again. Marta was having dinner at the pizza place and she saw him and she didn’t stop until she got him.

    Ben is a big and good galgo, very quiet. Without fear of people. He was covered in ticks and other parasites, and on the left side of his neck he has a wound that looks like his chip was removed.

    Ben, your life has changed and as soon as you have a family that adopts you, you’ll realize how lucky you’ve been.

  • 2 Scooby Galgos living happily in Italy

    Marta Maui's arrival 400 8 2020
    It’s lovely to have a happy rehoming story to publish, I hope you enjoy reading the story of Chiry and Maui.

    ‘I am Marta Pedrali, I read all your articles since I adopted a galgo. I adopted a beautiful black and white galgo two years ago and a brown one last year. I love them so much and I do not understand why people treat them in those ways in Spain and in other parts of the world. For this reason, I share my story, my daily life with my special galgos through a Facebook page called “Chiry the galgo & Maui” in order to make people understand how amazing life is with them and how sweet they are. I also volunteer in an Italian association that homes them, its name is “Progetto Galgo Onlus”, we are in the province of Bergamo, Italy.

    Paolo and I (Marta) are a couple that the 30th June of 2018 adopted, for the first time, a black and white galgo named Chiry. We adopted Chiry with the help of an Italian association called “Progetto Galgo Onlus”. Chiry comes from Protectora Scooby Medina in Spain. I chose him (it is a “he”) personally, after looking at the website of Protectora Scooby. On their database are plenty of dogs, I couldn’t choose at the beginning. But, when I noticed a photo with that face so sad and frightened, he caught my eyes and it didn’t take a long for me to understand that it was him, Chiry, that I would have surely adopted! Now, two beautiful and intensive years have been passed since that hot afternoon when Chiry came to us.

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – small shelter saving the galgos and podencos

    GRA 2 thin puppies 400
    From Sandy Galgoslover.

    ‘GRA is active for 3 years now. After many disappointments and deception by false prophets who pretend to be animal lovers with the motto: “everything for the dogs” while their real motives are: “everything for our own benefit and profit”, we are now surrounded by the right people with the right intentions and we can give many dogs a new and better life.

    But to save dogs and provide them with the necessary care and medical treatment to adopt them, money is needed, a lot of money.

    As a small shelter it’s a daily struggle to survive and we depend on donations.

  • Scooby Galgo Adam hoping for a forever after

    Scooby Adam 400 7 2020
    From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid

    ‘If there is one dog with a lot of bad luck it is Adam. First he was abandoned by his owner and left in the perrera municipal of Valladolid where Scooby has taken him out of course, so that was a bit of good luck actually. Once here we took a bloodsample and it showed that he is leishmania positive and that means double bad luck because people seem to be more afraid of leishmania than for corona although one little tablet Alopurinol a day keeps the vet away. It is not contagious, not for other animals and neither for people and they can become really old with this.

    But now he probably has to wait a long time before he gets adopted IF he ever gets adopted because he’s a black galgo! And this super sweet and gorgeous handsome boy really deserves a lot better than being in a kennel for the rest of his life!.

    Please, anybody there to give him a warm and loving home and a small pill every day so he can finally enjoy his life? Info: internationaladoptions@scoobymedina.org‘
