  • Tiny galgo puppies dumped in the perrera – thank goodness for Protectora Scooby

    Scooby galgo puppies 1 400 4 2022
    Can you believe these tiny babies were dumped, without their mother, in a perrera?!

    ‘6 baby galguitos that were dumped at the Valladolid provincial kennel and the ones we took care of along with other adult galguitos. The poor things came full of internal parasites, but we have already given them their pills and in a few days they will start with the vaccination route.

    They are all super cute and are going to need new homes to grow and live happily for the rest of their lives.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – always there for the abandoned souls

    GRA Bella  crop 400 1 4 2022
    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    ‘This is Bella in the campo. Months ago, this girl was wandering around looking for food. When she was caught, it was very clear that Bella had given birth to puppies not long before. The volunteers searched for days but unfortunately, no little ones were found.

    Two weeks ago, in the same place where Bella was seen found months ago, a white growing up galgo was spotted. This white pearl is safe, she’s very similar like Bella so this girl is probably a puppy of her. Once she was rescued it was clear this girl was in very bad shape, full of fleas / ticks / malnourished. (See pix below)

    She received the first care, blood test and her first vaccinations.

    Many thanks Carol and Maria for saving her.

  • Dealing with fear in rescued dogs

    Beryl David 400 03 04 2011
    Many years ago on one of my many trips into Spain with French association L’Europe des Levriers we were asked to take a fearful galga who had been in foster in Southern France and was not improving. So Carmela came into my life and home. At 4 years old she had found herself dumped in a perrera, rescued by the association’s vice president in Spain, passported and blood tested and into foster in France.

    At the time we had a French lurcher, 2 other galgos and a small podenca. So plenty of company for Carmela to give her confidence. She was fearful of my husband – not surprising as most Spanish rescued hunting dogs are fearful of men – whatever do the hunters inflict on them?! She would exit the farmhouse into the enclosed courtyard following the other dogs but coming back inside was a different matter. All the doors had to be open and we humans had to hide out of sight. Eventually she would rush in like a tornado. Frequent shaking if my husband appeared, even though he doesn’t look Spanish, only eating food if we were out of sight.

  • Research into the health of Spanish galgos – survey form to complete

    Hello, my name is Mathéo Casa and I am a final year veterinary student. I am doing my final project on all the peculiarities of Spanish greyhounds. I am passionate about this breed and I want to improve the life of Spanish greyhounds through this work and I want to know more about the health of this breed. I need you to fill out a survey to help me get information. Please, if you have more than one Spanish greyhound, fill out a survey per dog. Once my work is finished, it will be published through Scooby’s social networks so you can see how special Spanish greyhounds are!! Thank you very much !!! Matheo Casa

  • Galgo Drack at death’s door – safe with Animal Rescue Spain

    Animal Rescue Spain Drack 400 4 2022
    From Animal Rescue Spain

    ‘He walked along the road, without strength, bleeding from his legs from spending days walking on the asphalt, desperately looking for food, with his skin stuck to his bones and about to die of starvation. We have called him Drack. We are healing his wounds, his physical and soul wounds, even though he only thinks about eating. This galgo is synonymous with strength and struggle, abandonment and indifference. He is already in Animal Rescue Spain, cared for, protected, resting. He doesn’t know it, but he will never suffer again.

    Since his arrival he has already gained 2 kilos, but is still very thin. His infectious disease tests came back negative and that broke our hearts even more, because that’s how we know Drack got to this state – because of lack of food, they tried to starve him to death, and they surely threw him in the bones into the street. He walked for days and days down the road, where his legs were smashed and his pads were left raw, full of wounds and with a voracious hunger. Drack is now reborn at Animal Rescue Spain and reminds us that dogs are strong and grateful. Every caress, every can, every cure, every sausage, every treat, returns a look of gratitude on their part and that is our greatest reward.
