  • Galga Buleria – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    ‘Buleria arrived at our shelter on March 17th. She came straight from a hunter region Badajoz, Extremadura.
    For those unfamiliar with Extremadura, this region is very rural and along with Andalusia, animals are generally treated very roughly.

    Buleria was so scared at her arrival and unfortunately she’s still afraid of men.

    Step by step she gains a little more confidence, hopefully in time she will be able to forget her harsh past and heal from her abuse.

    Buleria is such a lovely soul with a very gentle and soft character.

  • 4 older galgos need rescue and adoption

    Galgos with hunter 1 400 5 2022
    The galgueros are bastards when it comes to blackmailing rescuers. This appeal was on facebook last weekend, I’ve asked if they have been rescued. This is the story.

    ‘These 4 galgos are with a galguero who no longer wants them. We want to get them out and get them to safety, because we know their owner will get rid of them one way or another.

    They are relatively old, the galguero is impatient to see them leave, he gets angry, and made it clear to us that he was not going to wait to get rid of them….

    We still and always need donations to save them, and/or an association to take over.

  • Galgo Vitorio and Podenco Nube – waiting in Malaga for years for forever homes

    The Hairy Smile 2 dogs 400 5 2022
    So sad that so many rescued Spanish hounds wait for years in a shelter in the hope one day they will have a forever home. Here are 2, in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga 29120.

    ‘Both have been waiting for years behind bars. (Contact: The Hairy Smile – La Sonrisa Peluda) 652813071 Málaga!!

    VITORIO (Galgo) and NUBE (Podenca Campanero) are the most abused breeds in this disgusting country!!!! As much as they are publicised, NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE seems to see them. BARS AND CHAINS ARE THE SADDEST “LIFE” THAT CAN EVER EXIST IN THIS WORLD But I’ll continue to infinity and beyond to hope to find them forever homes.

    Nube and Vitorio, bored in the shelter after all night in their kennel, bored of life in the shelter… they deserve a home, a family to have a real life with. No matter how much we give them love and care, they are not happy, they deserve so much more and no one gives it, why? Sad so sad. 7 and 5 years roughly respectively, a lot of life ahead, and if no one fixes it, they will spend the rest of their lives here, with the only family that has helped them even if it’s not enough . Only you can prevent it, SPREAD, ADOPT, ADOPT. Malaga.

  • Adopting a dog – patience and more patience

    Reminder for adopting a dog 400 5 2019

    We adopted our 2 podencos at the beginning of December 2021. Both 8 years old. Blind Bo has certainly had a rough life; he now knows his way outside into the garden to the toilet, and his way back in. But he is reluctant to come off his bed out of the kitchen into the rest of the house. Even a snuffle mat filled with treats doesn’t tempt him. But we are winning insofar as he loves car trips – he’s very confident walking up the dog ramp into the back of the car!

    Rosely – we can’t work out the reason for her fear. Unsurprisingly she is frightened of men, but she also has issues with food – it’s taken a few months for her to be confident going to her food bowl to eat. Quite a change from most of our previous Spanish rescues who have been starved, lived on the campo, been in a perrera and who loved their regular meals! However, her character is developing and she’s a delightful little podenca with people she knows.

    Patience is needed with rescue hounds, sad we can’t speak dog and learn what they have been through before rescue.

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again – it’s never ending, please donate to help

    Scooby Tamara 400 1 5 2022
    Yet another poor galga desperately needing help. Here’s her story.

    ‘So many galgos saved, so many galgos in poor condition, so many medical costs,so many more requests for taking in galgos but our financial position does not allow this, that is what it is.

    But when the police bring us this poor girl with a badly broken leg, she´s also covered in ticks, we just can’t say no because in the perrera they will not operate her, probably they will put her down. We just can’t let that happen because she is maybe 1 year young so she still has an entire life ahead. The operation will cost almost 1000 Euros and we count totally on the help from you, the public, to help us to make it posible for Tamara, that’s the name we gave her, to be operated so she can make a new start in life.

    Together we can make her whole again!

    Bank account Scooby: ES8400495219542216459780.

    Paypal: fundacion@scoobymedina.org and please put Tamara. Thanks in her name!

  • Protectora Scooby always there for the hounds

    Scooby Tormenta 1 400
    This photo is of beautiful galga Tormenta, found abandoned with an enormous would in her side, several weeks ago. The photo of when she was found is on this weblink, be warned, upsetting pic.

    Cobie tells the story.

    ‘Tormenta was found abandoned with an enormous wound on her left side. She was treated, also with lasertherapy, for weeks but she has recuperated completely, just a scar and that’s all. So now she is looking for her forever home. She is very lively, just a bit over 1 year young, and an active family with maybe a few children who can play with her and make long walks, I’m sure she would love that! She is not scared or anybody, good on the lead, good with cats and a very happy, lovely small girl. Chip:…7466.

  • Love me like animals love….poignant poem

    Beautiful poignant words which were on the facebook post about a terrified podenco in Jerez perrera.

    IF YOU WANT TO LOVE ME…

    Love me like animals love,
    with a love that is not postponed for later, with a desire that knows no middle ground, with the fidelity that is always taking care of us, and with the naked gaze that never criticizes.

    love me like animals love
    with that tenderness that never manipulates,
    with a silence that makes everything comfortable, without urgency and with all his presence, where there is no room for indifference.

    love me like animals love
    with a tongue that does not hurt and if it kisses,
    with a claw of courage that never threatens,
    with that unconditionality that does not abandon, and with the peace of the true rational being.

    love me like animals love

  • Protectora Scooby – 2 galgo puppies rescued

    2 tiny galgo puppies found abandoned and suffering from a bad case of mange. Now after a couple of days’ treatment, they are starting to look better. Will take a while for their coats to regrow. Please donate to their treatment, Scooby is desperately short of funds and they have hundreds of galgos and podencos to care for, not counting the other animals including horses.
