  • 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.

  • Protectora Scooby Newsletter 6 – Gift a Virtual Adoption

    From Fermin Perez.

    Gift A Virtual Adoption

    Our Virtual Adoption Programme is a good way of supporting some of the needy animals in the Scooby shelter. You can choose for yourself or as a gift for family and friends for 10€ per month or 115€ per year. We will send the virtual adopter a certificate, a photo of the chosen animal and updates twice per year. There are lots of animals to choose from,
    including:

    Granny – an oldie;
    Donja – has only one ear
    Zuki – had gangrene before arriving at the
    shelter and lost both of her back paws;
    Paris – the gentle giant and an old faithful
    Alba the albino horse is there with Plus y
    Ultra, the goats, alongside Cayenne y
    Pepper, the donkeys. All overseen by
    Blackie the head of the cats in our cattery!

    You can find them all here

  • Protectora Scooby Newsletter 4 – Kennel Renovations – we need funds and builders

    From Fermin Perez.

    Kennel Renovations

    You may recall from our autumn bulletin we appealed for financial help towards kennel repairs. We have not been able to do the work because we failed to raise the funds. In addition there is a lack of available, skilled bricklayers in our area. It is pretty much impossible to find labour to do the job and within a reasonable estimate (€5k).

    Our appeal remains and if you are able to donate towards it, we’d be very grateful. We’d love to complete the renovations in the spring when it is less rainy. We desperately need to repair brickwork, smooth the floor area to make cleaning easier
    and safer.

    And now a rehoming story – not a galgo but an example of the work Scooby does.

  • Animal Rescue Spain – cold weather coats needed

    Animal Rescue Spain 400 12 2022
    From Puntanimals

    ;The polar cold has suddenly arrived in Spain and we need your help. The authorities warn of a sharp drop in temperatures and, as you know, fuel for dog radiators has doubled in price. We also need blankets to make coats, which you can buy and we can pick up or directly send us your help. Everything adds up and everything counts, to shelter the Spanish abandoned dogs.

    Thank you!

    Will you help us with a donation for abandoned dogs in Spain?

  • Puntanimals in Huelva – rescue from a rubbish dump!

    We are an Animal Protection Association with a small shelter located in Punta Umbria, Huelva. We rescue street animals to offer them a second chance.

    A few days ago we learnt that the police had picked up a mother with her daughter from a polygon in a deplorable state of health. The mother unfortunately didn’t manage to survive so much pain and abandonment.

    But the little one has fought for her life after being discharged from her hospitalization at @hospitalveterinariofauna, she continues to recover in the shelter and getting more beautiful and stronger.

    SURY – This is how we baptized her. She is a love, she is affectionate even though life has only been cruel to her. It is amazing how resilient and strong animals are. You are a champion without a doubt

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – galga with a broken leg

    Galga broken leg 1 400  11 2022
    From Sandy Galgoslover at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    A couple of days ago this young galga was picked up in Baza with a broken leg and we were asked if we could take her. She was taken to the vet to make X-rays of her paw. She spent the night at the vets and then was brought to us.

    She has been for a check-up with our vet, microchipped, has a European passport and a blood sample was taken. The results were negative for all Mediterranean diseases except Anaplasma. Alma will receive treatment with Doxiciclina for 28 days and an appointment has been made with the traumatologist.

    We would like to thank Eli for contacting us and Raymond Faber for picking her up in Baza.

    All help and support is welcome as her operations and medication is going to be expensive.
