  • Protectora de Scooby – 36 dogs rescued from a hellhole

    TERRIFYING, SHOCKING, HORRIBLE !!

    We need urgently help to be able to take care of these 36 dogs (amongst them some 8 galgos) who were taken away by the autorities from it´s owner for a possible crime of SEVERE ANIMAL ABUSE and which, thanks to SCOOBY, are safe now.

    The situation requiered a quick intervention because many of the dogs already showed a severe emaciation and were on the edge of death ??.

    Now we have to pay for all the medical treatments and the salary from a lawyer and a procurator because the person who commited this crime has to pay for all this! So any possible help will be more than welcome!

    These poor angels lived the worst life possible in a miserable. filthy and sickmaking shed, completely eaten alive by fleas and ticks, without water, without food and some dogs were eating another one who had already died ??. It´s indignant that in the 21st century these things keep occurring!

    PLEASE, HELP US TO HELP THEM!

  • Protectora de Scooby to the rescue yet again.

    Scooby Murcia rescue 2 dogs 400
    News from the Scooby team.

    Last weekend we have traveled to Murcia to collect more animals whose lives were in serious danger.
    The people who rescue them, in the end, always end up getting in touch with us, because despite their multiple appeals, can no other association help them save the lives of these innocent beings?. Total has been 24 dogs, between galgos and podencos. And other animals…….

    The black galgo is one of the picked up dogs this weekend in Murcia, he has a broken leg and a vet gave the owner the advice to kill him ?? because the operation would cost a lot of money and he would probably never be able anymore to run enough fast for hunting…

    Although we have rescued this year various animals with fractures and almost drown in the costs, we can not look the other way and leave this galgo being killed one way or the other?.

    Below are photos of some of the dogs, all ex hunters as you can see.

  • Scooby to the rescue again – the horror for galgos never ends

    Scooby galgo shattered leg 400 5 2018
    What this galgo has had to suffer until being rescued!! We don’t even want to think about it… He has a completely shattered front leg, with the broken bones splintered and a severe infection. The pain that this poor animal has had to endure must have been terrible.

    We will inform you about how he evolves, since we have to do him more tests to rule out other type of injuries and check his general health, since he is also extremely thin.

    Please, we need your help, we have had several cases of animals with fractures and sick and we can’t assume so many expenses.

  • Cuidad Animal Shelter – full to overflowing!

    Ciudad animal galgos 1 400
    Earlier in the week I told you about 4 galgos rescued from abandonment by a galguero and now with Ciudad Animal Association. The shelter desperately needs help, this photo is what the volunteers are coping with now hunting is finished for last season.

    ‘January, February and March feared the hunting season, and today ending April we are full again, every day we receive a lot of warnings and emergencies for our area, having to say no to many… but also making a huge effort To attend to those cases which are more urgent and where the life of the animal is in danger or is wounded.

    If there are warnings on the streets in La Mancha, imagine what is in the kennels of our surroundings… all the cases we see every day of which we can save some but how many stay on the road.

  • Cuidad Real – Cuidad Animal Shelter – desperate help needed for their galgos

    Ciudad animal 4 400
    Cuidad Real is 200km south of Madrid. It is where I went to adopt my first galga 11 years ago. Cuidad Animal shelter is now full to overflowing and yet the volunteers still respond to desperate calls for help. Here’s a translation of the story about these 4 galgos.

    ‘This is the state where these four galgos have arrived last week, they were in a kennel where we were told, which come from the street or their galgueros that have left them there, there were more but we have brought the most Urgent to save.

    The situation is like a wheel that does not stop and it seems that it will never stop. We have to follow the galgos because they don’t deserve the life that they have experienced.

  • 39 galgos in hellish conditions – now rescued

    (google translation) Empty stares, marked bodies, cries of real terror… we have faced one of the toughest rescues, a total of 39 Greyhounds and 2 Mestizos on a farm of almost 30.000 square meters. their only food, the dead pigs on the farm. We were asked to help some great friends since they had no way to help many galgos. We didn’t have enough tears when we saw that massacre, galgos crowded with ticks, a ground full of real shit, eaten to bite. Images that will remain forever engraved on our retinas, shrieks and looks that will be etched in our heart and will cleave again every time we remember this day that never had to have existed because those animals never had to be in this state .

    We want to thank the CUBIL DEL DESAMPARO for your big donation of pipettes for each of the dogs, thanks to AIBA for your donation of pills and medicines, to the Spanish Greyhound volunteers for all their help and involvement, to furry loves all over the feed Donated, thanks to Nines, Belen, Tatiana and Jacqueline, Carlos, conchi and Valentin for all their help and involvement in the eviction. Thanks to Lourdes for her help in the transfers.
