    From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid.

    ‘And this time we went to rescue dogs and cats to Murcia

    61 more animals are already safe. In particular 36 galgos and 25 cats. Now they will have the opportunity to know what a real home and family is.

    Remember that without your help it would be impossible for us to save the lives of so many animals. That’s why we need you, or rather, that’s why they (most vulnerable animals) need you. Together we can offer them a better life.

  • Introducing Henry.

    Chris Luca 4 400
    Henry and Chris’s story:

    As an eighteen-year-old in the 1980s, Phoenix, Arizona, I remembered hearing stories of dead greyhounds being found in the desert with bullets through their skulls. This was horrifying. Back then I made a commitment to adopt a greyhound one day. That day came many years later but I did it and Henry brightened up my life. He was an eighty-five-pound brindle and white furred creature. His skull was misshapen and this caused his eyes to be pulled back a bit as if he has “had work done!” He was adorable.

    I adopted Del Sol Henry in 2018. His adoption catapulted me into this amazing and unique greyhound cult that I never knew existed! Henry and I attended nail trimming parties, and give your dog a bath events! There are dress your dogs like a pirate parties and dog park socials! There were beautiful collars for sale and matching leashes, t-shirts, necklaces, calendars!! I loved being a part of the greyhound community.

  • Scooby to the rescue of galgos again!

    Scooby galga thrown from van 400 4 2019
    From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolit. THROWN FROM A VAN!

    After falling from the vehicle the poor creature was hit by another car.

    This happened in Salamanca, and we have no words to describe how angry such abhorrent cruelty makes us feel. We wonder what kind of ruthless people-people lacking any compassion-we are surrounded by.

    Fortunately some residents saw what happened and notified the police.They picked up the galga, who-besides being absolutely terrified-only sustained some blows to her body and various bruises in an incident that could’ve resulted in more serious injuries. They were able to catch and take her to a vet and she miraculously survived with only a nasty fright.

    She is ok, stable and is being taken care of by our veterinarians, who will be observing her to make sure that the apparently superficial injuries are really just that.

  • SOS Galgos in Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital

    Steel city greyhounds 400 2 2019
    Kudos to Steel City Greyhounds for all the good they do to help children in need from the Children’s hospital in Pittsburgh, this special occasion with football player celebrity Colton Underwood. We are so proud of you Marci and David and that these special galgas are from SOS Galgos!

  • 23/24 February – Scooby collect 48 galgos

    ‘It has been exhausting traveling several hundred kilometres in 20 hours to pick up these galgos in different places of Extremadura and Andalucia, but the effort, of course, has been worth it. Now these galgos, to which an uncertain future awaited them will have the opportunity to know the warmth of a home and the love of a family.

    We want to thank all those who, in one way or another, support our work, because without your help, we would not be able to save and change so many lives.

  • 2 galgos abandoned, starving, tied up in a field!

    ADBA galgos 1 400 20 2 2019
    Two galgas tied up and abandoned in a field left to who knows what fate! Here’s their story from the volunteers.

    ‘We were told of 2 abandoned galgas tied in the field. When we got to them they were very weak and malnourished, no chip of course! We took them to the vet, where after doing the tests of erlichia and leishmania, they tested negative. They stayed at the vet clinic for a couple of days where they were given food and vitamins.

    They are now in the shelter with their special food and vitamins.

    If anyone wants to donate for them, we would greatly appreciate it as we have hardly any funds. Contact by whatsapp at 655 58 50 42.

    We have named them –

  • Galga Frida – abandoned with a badly broken leg

    ACTUA Frida 400 2 2019

    Last week Little Frida was found in the middle of athe field with one leg broken by two parts, victim, unfortunately, of not being good enough to hunt, so she has has been discarded.

    She has been operated on and is now recovering in a foster home in Ciudad Real capital, so that she can recover from the post-op and can attend its periodic reviews until she is recovered.

    It’s a shame to meet these cases.

    Beauties like the Spanish Galgos, which mostly are used for fun of a few and when when they are not of use, they are abandoned to their luck.

  • Adopt a galgo – 40mph loyal and loving couch potatoes!

    Yo galgo Free the Galgo 1 400
    The hunting season in Spain is now ending and galgos are being abandoned by the galgueros in their thounands. If you can offer a galgo a place in your heart and home, here’s a comprehensive list of rescue and rehoming associations.

  • Protectora Scooby – defining a galguero

    Scooby 400 5 2 2019
    From Scooby. (Google translation)

    ‘we start the publication defining what is for us a galgos: every person who breeding-keeps-Uses Greyhounds for hunting.

    From here we ask several questions to the lords galgueros why, especially in these dates, are the kennels and protectors full of abandoned greyhounds? And when we say abandoned, we also refer to those greyhounds that are left by their owners in these facilities, because getting rid of an animal, even if you don’t leave it in the middle of the field.

    How many of you take care of all the greyhounds that go through your life until they are old and die for natural causes or diseases of age? Do you really have all the dogs that are not good to hunt in your homes until they die? What do you do with the greyhounds that break a leg? Do you operate and stay with you until the end of your days even if you can’t run anymore?

    The majority of “take care” of the animals that bring you or can bring you some benefit, but you get away from those of whom you can no longer take any advantage why you want to deny the obvious?

    Scooby is arriving dozens of greyhounds, some collected from the street, others brought by their owners, others taken from the kennels, but all of them abandoned because they are no longer useful for their owners. The Greyhounds in Spain remain in their vast majority animals to use and throw and as long as they do not change the laws, unfortunately, this will continue to be.
