We all know the IMMENSE problem there is with the galgos, now more than ever. Here’s just one more. She has been rescued but the team treating her need help, so any offering would be gratefully received.

Her story is simple, parents at a school gate and there she was, on her last will to live. Curled up, not wanting anything else in life. badly done to, treated like dirt, and there are thousands and thousands, tens of thousands like her, solitary and bleeding, infected and alone. For this girl, fortunately there was an anamilist amongst the group of horrified parents at the gate of the school. She didn’t run or even try to, simply raised her head to her rescuers hand and now in hospital care.

Dear friends,

In 2009 we held the first Scooby North America Auction and raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center at Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain. Our goal for 2010 is to build as many brick shelters as possible in the paddocks to help protect the animals from the elements, but we can only do it through your generosity.

How can you help?

Hopefully this takes you to the link in English.

If you can’t get the link in English, tell me, and I’ll copy and paste the articles.

Dogs greeting Loli – she works so hard for them. Please, don’t forget them, they urgently need funds to do this work.

This is an appeal with a difference. We’re asking for people to sponsor two galgos. Their story first appeared on Galgo News in June 2008 and then again in October 2008.

They have been in foster with my friend Joanna Simm in south eastern France, and as they are getting on and have been with her so long, it is possible no one will now want to adopt them.

They both need medication, especially Quijote (also known as Luis). Could you sponsor the medication? This is what Joanna says.

This urgent message is from Bea and Cristina, who work helping some of the poorest refuges in Spain.

‘The Spanish refuges are in total chaos. After San Anton in Cadiz and Pedro Munoz at Ciudad Real, it is with the turn of our refuges to be submerged by the floods. Far to poor to have a pumping system, the galgos are standing in water up to their chests.
Salamanga and Villa del Rio have nothing, they desperately need help from abroad.’

From a volunteer ‘In In Villa del Rio, Cordoba, I am desperate. It hasn’t stopped raining, we are trying to clear the water from the refuge with buckets, and still it rains. After days of doing this, my back is aching, it feels broken. Every day I remove the wet covers to put down dry ones. We have a failing pup… ”. Here, there are 75 galgos… Please help-us!
