  • Galgo Batman with Protectora Scooby, hoping for a forever home

    Video

    BATMAN, born 2021.  Small in size, black and white, with the sweet face of a puppy.  Batman is a gentle, sensitive, and very kind galgo.
    The shelter is far too difficult an environment for him.  Being small and delicate, he struggles in such an intense and competitive setting.
    He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a calm, protected home where he can live peacefully, relax, and feel safe.
    Like many male galgos, Batman is affectionate, tender, and forms a deep bond with people.  He is also good with other dogs.  Batman needs peace, love… and a real chance.

    Video

    Cassia born 2023′  She is a beautiful dark brindle galga with two unforgettable eyes.   She can be a little unsure at first, but it takes very little to discover her true nature: sweet, gentle, and sensitive, loving soft affection and quick to recognize those who approach her kindly.
    When she sees you again, she comes closer with growing trust.
    Cassia simply needs a sincere hand, patience, and good intentions. She will do the rest, winning you over day by day.

  • How long is too long to leave a dog alone?

    Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human.  Many suffer from separation anxiety.  We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.

    So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.

  • 6 more unwanted galgos dumped with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    6 galgos on this weblink.

    Help us save 6 galgos… they need us.  A few days ago, we received a request we simply couldn’t ignore…A plea to help 6 galgos. 6 souls who are still with their owner (a hunter) in the Extremadura region.  They have no voice. No choice. No certainty about what tomorrow will bring…We want to give them that chance. A life without fear. A warm bed. Care, love, and safety — things they’ve never truly known.
    But we can’t do this alone…
    To bring them to us, transport costs €70 per dog. And that’s only the beginning — they will need medical care, check-ups, vaccinations, everything required to finally give them a healthy start.  That’s why we are asking for your help.

  • Galgo mother and son rescued from the streets

    Video

    From Galgos Rescue Almeria

    We start the day with some wonderful news from yesterday. In the afternoon, two volunteers set off towards El Ejido to pick up two galgos. For months, Carmen has been working hard to bring a galgo mother to safety—she had recently given birth to nine puppies and still had a young son from a previous litter by her side. Not an easy task, as a galgo used to living on the streets doesn’t allow itself to be caught easily. But perseverance pays off. (more…)

  • Galga Dani with Protectora Scooby Medina hoping for her forever home

    Video

    This is the beautiful galga Dani with Protectora Scooby who is hoping for her forever home.  If you have room in your home and heart for her, contact Scooby direct.

    Her photo really pulled at my heart strings as she is the twin of one of my galgas, Carmela, who I adopted after she had spent 4 years at the hands of a hunter who maltreated her.  It took over 2 years of her living with my galga gang before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog.  Very much loved and remember.

  • 70 hunting dogs desperately needing to move to shelters

    No photo description available.

    Yet another sad example of the horrors endured by Spain’s hunting dogs because there is no law to protect them.

    The 6 month old puppies arrived from Alentejo this week.  They were brought to Tiny Shelter by the very kind Municipal vet of Alentejo, herself. They are lovely dogs and clearly so excited to be in a new place …away from the CHAOTIC AWFUL PLACE where they lived…
    All have small cuts and sores, proof that they had to fight for food , but apart from that, they are lovely ,happy, GRATEFUL puppies, excitedly smelling and investigating everything. He immediately vaccinated them , gave them very good puppy food and toys.  These are some of the lucky ones, already removed … close to 20 have been removed…there are 50 left! (more…)
