Saved from death in Spain – galgas rehomed by GRIN in America
Telma Shaw and Wally Lacey of GRIN in the US recently travelled to Spain to visit volunteers with galgo and podenco rescue associations and refuges, and to take back with them four dogs which had been offered forever homes in the US. Here’s what Telma says.
‘ We are back!! An amazing trip meeting tons of people and visiting
shelters, boarding facilities, a huge new project/kennel for the galgos near
Sevilla (more news on that) and we brought back three galgos…..the sad news is that we had to leave Angie at Madrid airport because on the way from Valencia to Madrid, Silvie the other galga started barking up a storm and got Angie all agitated to the point of panic, biting the crate, bleeding, temp increased, panting terrible, heart palpatations etc etc..we had to wet her down and let her sit with us and it took her an hour to calm down..we could not in good conscience continue the trip to the US. -
Scooby Holland hold a ScoobyDay!
Last weekend, Scooby Holland held their annual ScoobyDay and here’s the link to view the pictures.
It says that the day was a great succes, the weather was fine (with only a couple of showers) and there were lots of dogs. Furthermore there were shops with all kinds of things to buy for the dogs, for the benefit of Scooby and other Galgo organisations.
There was a joint walk in Soestduinen, a wonderful area where sighthounds can run free and Fermín Perez was present for a chat and if you wanted he would pose for a picture. There were also other volunteers from Scooby present for everybody to meet and talk to. So it was a wonderful happening.
