  • French book on galgos – raising funds for Scooby

    For my French readers.

    http://www.lagazettedeslevriers.org/t6724-livre-sur-les-galgos-au-profit-de-scooby-france#159232 En me promenant sur le net, j’ai trouvé ce petit livre sur les galgos. Je l’ai commandé à Marie-Françoise Derache. C’est un livre vraiment très intéressant sur nos amours les galgos . J’ai discuté avec l’auteure, via ma boîte mail. Je vous conseille fortement ce livre. Il est vendu 10 euros + 3 euros de frais de port. Marie – Françoise qui est une femme avec un cœur…gros comme ça, reversera le prix de son livre à Scooby France. Pour chaque achat, il sera reversé 10 euros. Merci pour Scooby de faire une bonne action. Merci d’en parler autour de vous. Voici son adresse mail : palicia49@yahoo.fr

He developed leptospirosis and Chris kindly wrote a case history about her experiences with Lucho and beating the disease.

    Earlier this year, Lucho developed Leishmania. Even though he tested negative before leaving Spain, the disease can lie dormant and poor Lucho succumbed. Chris shares her experience here.

  • Spanish hunters – the galgo massacre begins! Scooby appeals

    Scooby Medina compound 250 This is the hunters’ answer to the publicity about them hanging their dogs. These men are sick, there is no reasoning with them, they are a blight on Spain and the majority of Spanish people. This message just received from Scooby.

    Dear Friends,

    Today is February 1st. The end of the hunting season is upon us and for this reason our phones and emails have not stopped with people asking us for help to take dogs. Today we got two phone calls from Seville. The shelters there are full, and many of them have waiting lists to take dogs. But what is even worse that we heard today, is the galgueros are threatening to remove the microchip from the dogs and let them roam free in the streets, left to die.
