  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – and the galgos keep arriving!

    This poor galga was rescued, heavily pregnant, and arrived at the GRA shelter, not long after she’d given birth to 10 puppies! Here’s what Sandy says.

    ‘Fortunately, this mom was rescued in time so that she can give birth to her little ones in a clean environment. And especially now with this unbearable heat, her rescue came none too soon. Our help was requested to take her in and give her the necessary care. Soon after we’d agreed, we received news that it was time for this mom to bring her little ones into the world. In the meantime she has given birth and they have all arrived at our shelter.

    We ask for help/support to provide this family with the necessary care/nutrition/vaccination/blood tests etc’

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    For donations please:

    Thank you very much!’

  • Galgo in poor condition – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    GRA 3 new ones 2 400 face
    From Sandy Galgoslover

    ‘The 3 newcomers have had a quiet night. Viru & Atila don’t look bad at first sight, but it doesn’t mean they each carry a backpack from their past. The oldest of the 3, Zeneque is in bad shape. His skin shows many bald spots and has a red rash probably as a result of staying/sleeping in a dirty unsanitary environment. We immediately started a treatment with a special ointment that serves to make the skin supple and healed.

    You can support one of these 3 by:

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again – it’s never ending, please donate to help

    Scooby Tamara 400 1 5 2022
    Yet another poor galga desperately needing help. Here’s her story.

    ‘So many galgos saved, so many galgos in poor condition, so many medical costs,so many more requests for taking in galgos but our financial position does not allow this, that is what it is.

    But when the police bring us this poor girl with a badly broken leg, she´s also covered in ticks, we just can’t say no because in the perrera they will not operate her, probably they will put her down. We just can’t let that happen because she is maybe 1 year young so she still has an entire life ahead. The operation will cost almost 1000 Euros and we count totally on the help from you, the public, to help us to make it posible for Tamara, that’s the name we gave her, to be operated so she can make a new start in life.

    Together we can make her whole again!

    Bank account Scooby: ES8400495219542216459780.

    Paypal: fundacion@scoobymedina.org and please put Tamara. Thanks in her name!

  • Slovenia Sighthound Society – working with Protectora Scooby for the galgos

    Scooby Slovenia volunteers400 5 2022
    There are currently over 450 dogs in Scooby and its smaller ‘branches’ so our help was more than needed.

    In four working days we sterilized 9 dogs, neutered 17 dogs and 1 goat, performed 2 second surgeries (wound treatment) and took care of hospitalized and sick dogs. In addition to the veterinary work, we cleaned all the fences, clipped some dogs, trimmed the long claws, gave them antiparasitics, took care of the chickens. We sincerely thank all the employees and volunteers at the shelter who work every day for these animals.

    And most of all – got a lot of energy and new ideas for work for the future. Will you help us with this?

    Thank you to everyone who supports us so we can help us further!

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    13836ANITA01

    Terrible news from Scooby, they are full and running out of funds.

    Fermin Perez, president of Scooby, said: “We’ve had a tough few months with more galgos and podencos dumped than more or less ever before. The flow of galgos and podencos has been unrelenting after the most recent hare coursing season.

    “We are not the only shelter to experience this. Fellow rescues agree that we have not seen peak numbers like this since about 30 years ago.

    “We have rescued 450 galgos and podencos, with 200 other breeds in the shelter as well. Quite simply, Scooby is full and we cannot rescue more dogs for time being.

    “As you can imagine this places significant pressure on our resources and we are now in survival mode.

    “We will need to solve this crisis if we are to continue.”

  • Galgos 112 – saving 70 abandoned dogs in Jaen

    Galgos 112 1 400
    From Galgos 112

    ‘We aren’t very good at posting numbers of our rescuers but for once, we’re going to do it at least in partial mode.

    From January 1 to March 8, 2022 there are 70 dogs picked up from the street alone in the Jaén delegation. Dogs that were abandoned, many with fractures and mostly sick, some in gravity. Of these 70 dogs one is a mastin, the other is a pointer, 3 are galgo crosses, 6 are podencos and the remaining 59 are galgos. 2 have passed away, 24 have been adopted and the rest some are still recovering and others waiting for adoption.

    We don’t lie when we ask for financial help or foster homes, nor when we say we can’t anymore and that we need adoptions. I wish it wasn’t necessary, but the situation of Galgos in Spain is what it is. Numbers sing though many deny it and want to shut us up.
