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.

Scooby – give Divino a home for Christmas, buy Scooby 2013 calendar
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. Thanks to Scooby, who took him this morning out of that perrera, this stunning boy is 2 years old and not fearful. Has many years to play on the good side of that bridge for many, many years!!

Also, what about buying a Scooby 2013 calendar or virtually adopting one of their dogs as a Christmas gift to someone. They care for a phenominal number of animals and need all the help they can get.

24 reasons why Scooby enjoy picking up s..t!
It’s only the middle of October; the hunting season in Spain has now been in full swing for a month, and already the perreras are filling up with hundreds of galgos dumped there by the galgueros as ‘unfit to hunt’ – either because they lack the ‘killer instingt’ or they are sick and injured.
Scooby are hard at work trying to save many of these young hounds and Cobie writesfrom the kennels with the latest news.

Hunting with galgos in Spain – will it ever end?
From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid. This poor little galga named China was brought to the Scooby residencia by a galguero because she is obviously very sick. Surely she has leishmaniosis, very much hairloss over her whole body, long nails on her feet which makes walking very painful for her, her eartips completely bare, her back and tail almost bare and a look in her eyes which makes you want to cry for feeling so sorry for her.
The galguero injected her with all kinds of stuff and gave her tablets, God may know which ones, but of course, that did no good to her so he wanted to dispose her.

From the Scooby website, 9th September 2012.
BASTARDS!!!!
It will probably not be politically correct but it is the first thing that comes to mind, that anybody is able to allow an animal to reach this sorry state, there is no other name than bastard.

Latest style in Galgo Transport – another survivor from Spain
Regular readers of GN and those of you who have purchased my book, will remember the story of Lucho, another amazing survivor of the galgo hell in Spain, now living happily in the US. Lucho survived leptospirosis, leishmania and a leg amputation, yet still enjoys life, although he now finds walking any distance with his canine mates can be somewhat tiring. Here’s what his Mom Chris says.
‘ Lucho’s difficulty is in walking any distance. He can go several houses up the street, then needs to come back home. Whatever happened to him in Spain that caused him to lose his rear leg resulted in twisting his spine. His back is arched and his hip is abnormal so his one back leg is not strong. He gets around okay…up and down 3 steps to go out to go potty and he gets up on the sofa…..but we can’t very well take the others for a walk and have him home alone howling!’
So here he is riding in style! Eat your hearts out, galgos everywhere!!
