Scooby Refuge gets a charity shop!
A charity clean-up and start-up
Last week (7/3/2016) a group of Greyhound Compassion volunteers spent a few days at the Scooby shelter to help the Scooby team. The intake of galgos peaks in the first three months of the year as the galgueros discard their galgos at the end of the annual coursing season. The shelter was full to the brim because an average of 40 galgos a week had been rescued in the first two months of this year.

The dirty truth about top-selling dog foods
From The Whole Dog Journal by their Editor.
The dirty truth about how top-selling dog foods could actually be harming your dog’s health!
And other untold secrets you need to know.Dear Fellow Dog Lover,
You want the best for your dog – especially when it comes to his food. You read labels and try to choose the brand and formula that will nourish your furry friend.
That’s why you’ll be as shocked as I was, to discover that dozens of today’s top-selling brands – names you thought you could trust, like Beneful, Pedigree, Purina and more – may not contain the wholesome, healthy ingredients you want for your dog.

Duathlon, 19th March 2016, Clumber Park, Nottingham – Sponsor Team Pepis!
Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera, Seville, has an outstanding vet bill so far of nearly 4,000 euros! That includes sterilization of dogs (the first thing to be done with the arrival of each new dog, to prevent unwanted puppies), vaccinations, dogs needing operations, medication…the list is endless.
It’s desperate that this bill is cleared and to that end Ellen Stevens and 2 friends have entered the team event in the Duathlon at Clumber Park, Nottingham, on 19th March 2016. If you look on the Youcaring link below, you can read all about it.
Please sponsor Team Pepis and share widely with family and friends. Let’s raise the total and more if possible.

What your dog really thinks about you
I am your dog, and I have a little something Iād like to whisper in your ear; I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand things in life.
Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The grey hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle. You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrong doing for just a simple moment of your time?
