    Please be assured that there are ‘NO’ bad images in this film and all the dogs featured are ‘safe’ and waiting to be adopted. I think you’ll agree that the soundtrack is both beautiful and appropriate and the end message fitting.

In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.

  • Happy Ending Final Feliz – but not such a happy ending

    Story just received, illustrates some of the problems facing the volunteers who struggle to help the abandoned dogs of Spain.

    ‘For the last year we have been arranging car boot sales every Sunday in a place called El Marquesado, and successfully got an income for the animals that need help in our area. It has been very hard workload on all our volunteers, but they have done the job without complaining. This car boot sale has been held on what we thought was wasteland as this was an unfenced, abandoned area. We were unable to find out if anyone owned it.

  • Help feed the rescued galgos and podencos in Spain

    BettysBetty’s Original are purveyors of natural dog food which is wheat, gluten and dairy free and is particularly good for rescue dogs, who have very often been abandoned and had to scavenge for whatever they can find to stay alive.

    I’m pleased to say they have kindly offered a special reduced price deal to readers of Galgo News whereby if you order dog food through them, you can nominate it to be delivered to either Tina Solera, Perros del Sol at Los Infiernos Refuge, who has rescued dozens of abandoned galgos during the course of the last 12 months, or Charl del Rio, who has three or four dogs in kennels until they are adopted.

    All you need to do is click on this link to the Betty’s Original site and you will see the two rescue centres you can help.

    Click on either of the two boxes, Perros del Sol for Tina or 112 Carlota Galgos for Charl. Then click on ‘My Account’ and create an account.

    It is as easy as that! Betty’s will then contact your nominated person and find out what food they desperately need at that particular point in time. You can pay either by credit card or Paypal. Any problems, email Betty’s Original direct.
