    Scooby logo 400
    Read about the history of Protectora Scooby Medina on this weblink and take a video tour of the shelter. Since its inception at Medina, the association has also opened shelters in Palencia, Zamorra and Valladolid.

    Each year they rescue many galgos dumped in perreras at the end of the hunting season so they always have dozens hoping for forever homes.

    If you have room in your home and heart for a galgo – or another galgo – have a look at them on this weblink.

    These 3 terrified souls arrived a week ago. Heartbreaking to think of the maltreatment they have suffered at the hands of the galgueros, when they should be happy loving hounds.

  • PACMA – raising funds for animal shelters on your Spanish tax return

    News from PACMA trying to raise funds for the animal shelters in Spain.

    ‘Can you imagine being able to check a box to help animals on your tax return?

    Well, it is not a dream, and from the Animalist Party we are fighting to make it a reality.

    This initiative could change the lives of tens of thousands of animals rescued by animal protection entities, who are going through real economic hardship to be able to support them.

    For this reason, the Animalist Party with the Environment (PACMA) has asked the first vice president and Minister of Finance of Castilla, María Jesús Montero, to include animal protection entities in the social purposes box of the Income Tax Declaration.

  • Galgo Senorito now with Galgo Rescue Almeria – a very sick galgo

    GRA Senorito 1 400
    From Galgo Rescue Almeria

    ‘ A few days ago we collected this galgo at Clínica Veterinaria Puerto De Mazarròn.

    In collaboration with Friends of Mazarrón Animals, this big boy, Señorito, can look forward to a new, different and better life.
    Unfortunately, he tested positive for both Dirofilaria and Leishmania, 2 of the toughest Mediterranean diseases. How much bad luck can you have.

    Both originate from a sting of an unsightly mosquito, but a sting with major consequences and if not treated eventually fatal. However, you can perfectly protect them against this with pipettes, collars or even a vaccination. But that costs some money and to hunters their dogs are not worth that to them.

  • Physiotherapy for your dog

    Several years ago when I adopted my galgo Polar from Pepis Refuge in Pedrera, I consulted a canine physio for treatment to his damaged hind knee joint. It was interesting to see that the work she did on him was very similar to that used by my physio on me when I injured my shoulder.

    ‘We have some beautiful perrigals and it’s amazing that they are still here at the shelter without anyone ever asking about them! They are brother and sister, very devoted to each other but no problem separating them either. Still pretty young, about 2 or 3 years old, very playful, great with other dogs and love people. They have all the good of galgos, just a little fatter. Their names are Dorotea, chip: 8428 and Gonzalo, chip: 9239. Adorable and need out of a kennel now!

  • Galgos 112 – young abandoned galgo now safe

    Galgos 112 puppy 4 2024 400
    From Galgos 112, who have nbeen rescuing Spanish hunting dogs for 16 years.

    A few days ago we received a notice of this abandoned baby, very hungry and thirsty. What did we do? Being overwhelmed as dogs waiting for a family, we couldn’t look away and luckily for him there was a companion nearby where the little one took refuge.

    Result that Tico has joined our family with the extra effort of taking on another daycare payment.
    The young boy has been dewormed and cleared from being eaten by fleas and ticks. Not surprising that he’s not carrying a chip.

    Welcome Ticorrón! Now it’s our turn to ask for help to pay for his daycare, and or family that can take him in while he recovers.

    Thank you if you can help.
