Life for the galgos and podencos at Scooby Medina – they are all waiting for you
A delightful video of a visit to Scooby Medina by Frenchwoman Christelle Baudimont of Scooby France and her father in January 2016. I appreciate many of you won’t understand the French comments, but the video is an excellent example of just how many galgos are at Scooby, all waiting for adoption…plus many podencos too. Also, it had been raining and Scooby desperately needs waterproof coats for these hounds, lined if possible for warmth. Some of the hounds are new arrivals, others are in quarantine, one very nervous bitch was rescued with puppies but only one survived. The brown woolly dog is a Mastin puppy. Christelle and Franck also visited Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid to meet the galgos and podencos waiting their for their forever homes.

More galgos dumped at Pepis Dog Refuge
A couple of weeks ago a galga was dumped at the gates of Pepis in a poor condition. (see pix below) Her wounds have been treated but the result of her blood tests are not yet back. The following week a couple of tiny puppies were left at the gates, this week 3 galgos have been left tied up there! This on top of the dozens of other dogs at the refuge, including a couple of dozen galgos. The Refuge relies totally on your help, please donate if you can, to feed the galgos, buy scalibor collars.
On top of that, the pipework in the kitchen where the washing machine and sink live has now been damaged by continuous mud slides. Alan Brian couldn’t repair it, so a plumber has had to be called in. More expense. In the meantime, they are having to wash the dog blankets by hand!

Galgos in Portugal needing forever homes
The galgos in Portugal have a terrible life. Regular readers might remember Estrella, her ‘husband’ and son who were all rescued from nightmare conditions. This is another beautiful galga rescued from similar conditions, along with 3 of her 7 puppies – the ‘owner’ kept the other 4. If anyone can offer her a wonderful forever home, please contact the association.
These are the puppies.
