  • Protectora Scooby Medina and the Halloween House of Horrors Rescue 2

    More on the rehabilitation of the 9 galgos rescued from the House of Horrors

    The 4 fearfuls will definitely need to go to an experienced family home or homes and the 5 should eventually settle into adoption with relative ease.  However, at some level, they all have a degree of anxiety having been simply left alone without daily contact from humans or any carefully managed experiences of, or introductions to doggy life in the outside world. They have certainly all suffered from incarceration and are now showing signs of trepidation when it comes to forming social bonds. Their past has compromised their welfare and this is very clear in their reduced responsiveness to humans. (more…)

  • Protectora Scooby – saving galgos from the Halloween House of Horror

    From Fermin Perez at Protectora Scooby.

    One of our most harrowing rescue missions in a long time was at Halloween on 31 October. We received a call from a hunter who was giving up hunting and wanted his 9 galgos to come into Scooby’s care. We drove in the pouring rain to the address we were given. The circumstances the dogs were kept in were some of the most horrific I’ve seen in many years. The conditions were absolutely squalid: Debris, filth, rats and an unbearable stench. The galgos themselves were not in bad shape. They needed vet care, castrating/ spaying and rehab. (more…)

  • Protectora Scooby – join your association in action

    MANIFESTO FOR THE EQUALITY OF ALL DOGS. Join with your organisation!

    As many of you already know, there is an attempt to exclude hunting and working dogs from the Royal Decree on animal facilities (núcleos zoológicos) — their last chance to be protected. These dogs would be left even more unprotected under a decree issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, which would only require registration, identification, and little else. Reporting the poor conditions of hunting packs (rehalas) would become even more difficult. (more…)

  • Scooby rescues 50 more hunting dogs in Castilla-la Mancha, Spain

    50 Greyhounds and hounds from Castilla La Mancha…

    In a few weeks the hunting season with galgos will come to an end and that means that now already shelters and perreras are completely full with galgos, discarded by their owner who just considers them a bad working tool and nothing more…
    Scooby will take the next couple weeks hundreds of galgos and podencos in to save them from being killed in a perrera or waiting for years and years in shelters because nobody adopts them.

    Sunday the 10th. of January we had to go to pick up some 50 galgos and podencos in a shelter in Tomelloso were every day a few galgos are brought in by their loving owners or mostly, are just thrown over the fence.

  • Valladolid perrera – Scooby to the rescue

    Scooby 250 3 25 8 2015From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid.

    Meet puppy Joseph jr. rescued 25/8/2015 from the perrera in Valladolid by Scooby. Was he born with this or has he had 2 broken front legs without them being treated? Or maybe he was taken too soon from his mother, as usually, and is this because of malnutrition? We don´t know yet but if it can be fixed, Scooby will fix it and if not, we will find him a goodhearted family who is not looking for a `perfect`galgo but for one who needs a loving family because the heart is all that matters most!

    We took 2 other galgos at the same time.
