Give a thought to the tens and tens of thousands of galgos now dumped in the campo, abandoned, dumped in perreras, no longer wanted by the bloody galgueros.

Volunteer at a Spanish rescue shelter
On a very rainy day at my home in the UK it’s that time of year to think about holidays and summer sun. Many Spanish shelters welcome volunteers to help with the care of their rescued hounds and it’s very rewarding. Many first-time volunteers return again and again.
This link is to the galgo and podenco rescue associations by country – many Spanish ones are listed – for both mainland Spain and the Canary Islands. Please contact them direct, you will be welcomed with open arms.

Protectora Scooby Newsletter 5 – the WeWard app and Education
The WeWard app is good news for walkers, dog owners & Scooby alike. Link the app to the pedometer on your phone and when you walk your dog (or even without the dog), you clock up points and can convert them into cash donations
for Scooby. Available in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, it can be downloaded from the AppStore and Google Play. Apparently dog owners walk 1,600 kilometres every year, so with 1£$€ per 100 points, all the dog owners reading this could boost Scooby’s funds just by walking the dog.Education Project : A Wet Nose In Your Life
This year we launched our education project, “A Wet Nose In Your Life” (“Un Hocico En Tu Vida”) which is directed at schools, youth groups and parent associations. This important venture teaches young people, their parents and guardians about the importance of properly relating to our dogs and understanding how they “talk” to us. This is fundamental to the prevention of bites. Our trainer, Pablo, is keen to talk to all education authorities and youth services about running the programme in their
organisations. He goes along to the class or session and gives an interactive, informative, compassionate talk to the group. In his experience the students are participative and ask a lot of questions. They also enthusiastically tell anecdotes about their own pets. We are always grateful to the teaching staff for warmly welcoming the topic and leading by example with a strong
interest. Almost every participant gains something from the event and has better information about understanding the signals dogs send us.Fundación Protectora de Animales y Medioambiente

Protectora Scooby Newsletter 3 – laws and laws! Not for hunting dogs
From Fermin Perez.
Hunting Season In Full Swing
The hunting season began in earnest in the autumn and this brings with it more animal abuse, deaths, neglect and exploitation of dogs who are later rejected. The poor souls are either surrendered directly to Scooby or dumped in the countryside straying and fending for themselves, running the risk of starvation and injury in a road traffic accident. Some hunters, in various locations near to each other, corral their dogs and ask us to take them. The calls from local villagers about loose dogs have already started. We drive to pick them up, bring them to our clinic and kennels where they are vaccinated, castrated, and treated for injury and illness. We keep them safe until we can home them in Spain or via our international support groups.
The weather so far has been very wet and this has made hunting difficult. It remains to be seen how the season continues, whether or not it is impeded by soggy winter weather, and how many dogs are discarded into the Spanish shelters.
