  • Galga Denia – 5 years waiting for a forever home

    Denia 1 400
    Look at me. Tell me what you see…

    I’m just a dog half-breed who made it to the shelter after taking a lot of beating. Hence my fear, my tremors and wanting to hide in the furthest corner when an unknown human appears.

    Half-breed? What a curious word. An amalgamation of a thousand races that make me a unique being and that in turn turns their looks away when a possible adopter passes before my kennel
    .
    Young gal? I’m not…My youth has gone like the wind locked in…

    They want me at the Shelter I know. But it’s really hard to spend almost 5 years of your life waking up with the first rays of sunshine living and subsisting in a cold cement kennel.

    They say I’m a galga cross…hence my slender and sleek line.

  • Locked up and left to die – Protectora Scooby to the rescue again!

    From Protectora Scooby.

    ‘We are fed up! Tired of hearing hunters tell how much they love and care for their dogs, tired of hearing them say that cases of abuse suffered by dogs used for hunting (i.e. used as working tools) are anecdotal, which are cases isolated. We don’t like to generalize because there will always be an exception, but we’re sick of encountering ′′ isolated cases ′′ like this one from Esperanza, an abandoned galguita in Palencia. She was locked in a ship next to another dog, no water and no food and if they had taken to find them one more day, right now this little girl would be dead. Hope is just skin and bones, not able to stand or pee.

    It is inconceivable that a being, called human, will do this to another living being who feels and suffers just like any of us.
    Of course, the police are investigating the case and we hope they find the guilty of so much suffering and pay for all the damage it has caused to this little angel.

    In order to keep saving and changing lives, like the one of Hope, we need your help.

    Please donate, it will cost a lot to get this little galga back on her feet again and be checked to see if permanent damage has been done to her through severe starvation.

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again

    Scooby pregnant galga 1 400 1 2021
    From Scooby.

    ‘She was crossing the road in a very advanced state of pregnancy, looking for the food necessary to support herself and the 9 lives she carried inside.

    We set in a trap cage so we could rescue her before she gave birth, but it was not possible. So after, her rescue had to be prepared very well, it was vital to catch her together her babies. So this great family is safe, thanks to all people who helped to rescue her.

    And to all those brave mothers and all those babies, we want to tell you that we are not going to leave you, that we are never going to give up, that we are not going to stop fighting for you, to achieve more just laws that protect you as you deserve.

    The brave mum, luckily, already has a family waiting for her when she finishes raising her puppies.
