From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolit. THROWN FROM A VAN!

After falling from the vehicle the poor creature was hit by another car.

This happened in Salamanca, and we have no words to describe how angry such abhorrent cruelty makes us feel. We wonder what kind of ruthless people-people lacking any compassion-we are surrounded by.

Fortunately some residents saw what happened and notified the police.They picked up the galga, who-besides being absolutely terrified-only sustained some blows to her body and various bruises in an incident that could’ve resulted in more serious injuries. They were able to catch and take her to a vet and she miraculously survived with only a nasty fright.

She is ok, stable and is being taken care of by our veterinarians, who will be observing her to make sure that the apparently superficial injuries are really just that.

Two galgas tied up and abandoned in a field left to who knows what fate! Here’s their story from the volunteers.

‘We were told of 2 abandoned galgas tied in the field. When we got to them they were very weak and malnourished, no chip of course! We took them to the vet, where after doing the tests of erlichia and leishmania, they tested negative. They stayed at the vet clinic for a couple of days where they were given food and vitamins.

They are now in the shelter with their special food and vitamins.

If anyone wants to donate for them, we would greatly appreciate it as we have hardly any funds. Contact by whatsapp at 655 58 50 42.

We have named them –

Last week Little Frida was found in the middle of athe field with one leg broken by two parts, victim, unfortunately, of not being good enough to hunt, so she has has been discarded.

She has been operated on and is now recovering in a foster home in Ciudad Real capital, so that she can recover from the post-op and can attend its periodic reviews until she is recovered.

It’s a shame to meet these cases.

Beauties like the Spanish Galgos, which mostly are used for fun of a few and when when they are not of use, they are abandoned to their luck.

From Scooby. (Google translation)

‘we start the publication defining what is for us a galgos: every person who breeding-keeps-Uses Greyhounds for hunting.

From here we ask several questions to the lords galgueros why, especially in these dates, are the kennels and protectors full of abandoned greyhounds? And when we say abandoned, we also refer to those greyhounds that are left by their owners in these facilities, because getting rid of an animal, even if you don’t leave it in the middle of the field.

How many of you take care of all the greyhounds that go through your life until they are old and die for natural causes or diseases of age? Do you really have all the dogs that are not good to hunt in your homes until they die? What do you do with the greyhounds that break a leg? Do you operate and stay with you until the end of your days even if you can’t run anymore?

The majority of “take care” of the animals that bring you or can bring you some benefit, but you get away from those of whom you can no longer take any advantage why you want to deny the obvious?

Scooby is arriving dozens of greyhounds, some collected from the street, others brought by their owners, others taken from the kennels, but all of them abandoned because they are no longer useful for their owners. The Greyhounds in Spain remain in their vast majority animals to use and throw and as long as they do not change the laws, unfortunately, this will continue to be.

Bev farmer is known for her tireless work with rescued podencos. But occasionally a galgo crosses her path. Here’s her story of 5.

‘On 9th January we took in 5 male galgos. They are a voluntary hand over from their Galguero, not living in the best of conditions but in fairness all 5 dogs are in a reasonable state. A lot of superficial cuts and bite marks, just one that had a serious laceration that needed attention. Thanks to Friends of Mazarron Animals who are working with local Galgueros.

Due to an outbreak of myxomatosis in hares in a number of regions in Spain, hunting has been suspended in some areas, the galgueros no longer want the dogs and are agreeing to hand them over to rescues.

Many thanks to Dee N, Ste Hargreaves, Steve.. Dee..Val..Falk..Jane..Keith who transported them up yesterday to our vets and stayed with us whilst all the dogs were blood tested and vaccinated. Then helped to take them to Finca la Castellana were they are in residence until we have space to bring them to us

Galgo rescued with a broken leg. As you can see, the beginning of the year is not good and in just 10 days we have already picked up two dogs that need surgery.

We need your help to be able to face all the veterinary expenses that are presented to us.’
