  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – injured galgo and podenco

    From FBM

    Chincheta may lose her paw…

    Until when? When will the mistreatment of these innocent beings stop?

    A few days ago we were asked for help for her. Her story? The same as always: her former owner didn’t want her anymore and urgently wanted to get rid of her. We are up to our ears, with still almost 600 animals in the centre. With the bills of Buda, Simeon, Pipa and many other hospital patients still to be paid. But it was impossible to see her picture, her eyes and her gaze to say no….

    Chincheta has arrived this very morning to our centre and our vets were surprised to see the fracture of her paw, because it is old and already ossified and however, Chincheta is a young dog, so she must have broken her paw when she was still a puppy and never had any medical attention…

    Now our vets are faced with the usual problem: try to save her paw with surgery and months of rehabilitation, or take the hard decision to amputate if there is no solution. We are waiting for the assessment of our trusted traumatologist. Hopefully there are possibilities for her… Help us save Chincheta

    Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.

  • Puntanimals – starving galga rescued just in time

    https://www.facebook.com/Puntanimals/videos/164418136436895

    From Puntanimals

    Human cruelty will never cease to amaze us.

    We have just received this beauty in the state you see. We don’t know how she is able to stand, she is just bones. We will call her MALALA because she is a great fighter and we will get her to pull through.

    MALALA will of course not be in adoption until she is recovered, we will keep you updated on her progress.

    These are the dogs that the new animal welfare law leaves desolate.

    To donate to her care, feed, vet fees, PAYPAL: puntanimals@hotmail.com

  • Galgos 112 to the rescue of an injured galga

    Galgps 112 400 1 2023
    Galgos 112 picked up this poor injured galgo at the beginning of the week. They are looking for an urgent foster for him in the Girona area.

    ‘This is Mar, picked up in this state in a town of Jaén, no chip but with an injury on the right knee and tendon. By having an open wound it is infected. She needs surgery asap so the tendon doesn’t retract and we can save that paw. To be able to operate it we need a foster home in Girona or as close as possible. Foster homes are urgently needed for injured galgos to recover from operations.

    If you are in Span and can foster, please don’t hesitate and send your details and phone number to info@galgos112.com and we will get back to you quickly.

    The association takes care of all veterinary expenses and transportation of the foster dogs. Operation Mar is going to pay off with the help of all of you. We’re counting on you!

    A couple of nights ago we suffered a storm and strong winds which unfortunately caused a lot of damage to our Rescue center. A large part of the fence has been torn loose and our storage space has been completely destroyed.

    In addition to our usual daily tasks, we now have days of cleaning up debris. A solution will also have to be found for the storage space.

  • 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.
