You will remember the appeal to save the Cuenca refuge being changed back into a perrera. Scooby have taken 27 galgos from there. They arrived on January 10th.
Cristina and Simonetta, an Italian volunteer, left at 6 in the morning to get the dogs to Scooby. So it was a double women power transport and it worked very well!
We hope we can soon release them into a new life as beloved pets and we count on you to make our hope become reality! See the video. They need money for food, vet fees and, of course, homes! http://www.scoobymedina.org

Galgo Manolo in Valladolid – Scooby looks for a family for him
Not all galgueros are complete bastards – like the one who deliberately left galga Gala with two broken legs out in the campo in Andalucia – to starve to death in great pain. Manolo was left with Scooby Residencia Valladolid. Here Cobie tells his tale.
MANOLO was left behind in the residencia because he was ‘no good for hunting’, said the galguero. I´m sure the galguero was no good for the dog because every galgo is a champion! Manolo is very lucky because now he can start a better and happy life with a caring family who will love him dearly because he is young, 2 and a half years old, very handsome, playful, super sweet and nice, has no fear and loves all other dogs and, even more, loves people.

Galga Gala – saved from a galguero murderer
Two pieces of news, which came up whilst I was stuck in the UK with hardly any computer contact.
Gala is a beautiful young galga found in a field in Andalucia with two deliberately badly broken legs – the left front and the left back – so she could not possibly get up and walk anywhere. Left by some bastard Spanish hunter to die a long and lingering and painful death. Luckily she was discovered and El Amparo took her to their vet where their vet operated on her to pin her legs back together again. Here are some before photos, and an incredible after video where she is walking with her legs splinted.

Scooby on the track of the galgos of Cigales, Valladolid
News just in from Scooby. Seprona entered a barn in Cigales, Valladolid, where over 50 galgos were kept. They removed 13 of them, aged between 6-12 months, as they did not have microchips. The dogs were taken to the perrera in Valladolid to be chipped, and were then returned to the barn. Because the other galgos were chipped, Seprona know who the owner/s are. Fermin Perez is investigating the matter and the conditions in which the dogs are kept.

This lucky boy is Divino, now safe with Scooby. Cobie says ‘DIVINO: Another galgo abandoned, hit by a car and then taken to the Valladolid provincial perrera where they wanted him to go and play on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
