Please be assured that there are ‘NO’ bad images in this film and all the dogs featured are ‘safe’ and waiting to be adopted. I think you’ll agree that the soundtrack is both beautiful and appropriate and the end message fitting.

Scooby Auction – donations needed before 15 May – please help
Dear friends,
It is hard to believe that this year will be our 3rd Scooby North America Auction. Actually, we are having 2 auctions this year. One in June and another in December. In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.

Letters and Emails needed urgently.
To reply to this message, either click Reply or send your e-mail to info@greyhoundaction.org.uk

IrelandMany people involved in welfare and who are greyhound “owners” have been
sending emails and letters to the Irish government to oppose the idea of

Department of Agriculture, which very recently received a formal proposal
from the Irish Greyhound Board to consider the China project. -
Burgos perrera, white galgo on death row – Seville, Mama galga and 8 puppies, anyone help?
In Spanish history, the White Galgo was revered – it was second in importance only to the birth of a son. There was even a Royal Medal awarded to the white galgo. How they have fallen. This white beauty is in the Burgos perrera, awaiting a painful death. If you have room for him, please contact laura@adoptanos.com
http://adoptaenburgos.blogspot.com/
or Maribel maribeljerezsos2@gmail.com (and pray for the other dogs with him on death row)And this tale is all too often told, heartbreakingly sad for all the animals involved.

Chinese DO eat dogs and cats, including Irish greyhounds if we don’t STOP IT!
This interesting information was in a comment today on Galgo News, which explains the horrors awaiting Irish and UK greyhounds exported to China. Darrell Leathen explains.
‘I am an Australian greyhound trainer and am appalled at irish g/racing for even contemplating exporting dogs to china, they kill and consume over 2 million cats/dogs per annum… they equate eating dog to an american eating a hotdog, someone ought to inform them they are made from lips and cheeks.. this cannot be allowed to happen and i will proposition greyhound racing victoria to speak with greyhound racing ireland to stop this abhorent exercise…we do not eat our mates/ BAN THIS PRACTICE’
Please include this information in any of your protest letters.

Almeria galga abandoned, anyone any room?
And yet another abandoned galga. Here’s the message just in.
‘Hello everybody, we’ve just been made aware of this case, it is a galga that is abandoned and lives lives badly in a house in ruins. For now we have food and water, but it would be necessary to find a foster home where she can recover little by little. She has a noble character, friendly and confident, not scared or running from people. Please, has anyone a little space for this galguilla for two or three weeks, please avisadnos, together we can change the future. Thank you very much for your attention. Regards.
