  • How long can you leave your dog alone?

    We’ve always had a least 2 dogs, as they are herd animals rather than solitary ones. So if you only have one dog, how long should you leave it alone?

  • Protectora Scooby saving more abandoned galgos

    Scooby Palencia 2 400 1 2010
    More news from Cobie at Scooby.

    Two more are already safe!

    These two pretty galgas have been part of the Palencia “landscape” for almost three months, we had already lost the hope of being able to rescue them , but finally, we have succeeded.

    Both are young girls and although we have had to use a trap cage to be able to take them because they did not trust us, they are very good and they love to receive cuddles and caresses .

    There are still many galgos that are waiting to be rescued, we continue trying to help them and give them the dignified life they deserve.

    If you want to support the work we do, you can do it in the following ways:

  • The cruelty of the Spanish galguero…

    Pins galga 1 400 1 2010
    Podencos in Need Scotland – PINS

    Stunning girl India was found wandering with her mouth tied shut. Unfortunately as she had a chip she had to be returned to the hunter who gave her to another one who made her run tied to a motorbike.

    She obviously didn’t make the grade (thankfully) so has ended up in shelter. She has had a terrible start to life but is currently in a Spanish foster home getting used to the fact that some humans are good.

  • SPANISH LANDSCAPE ——————– The outcasts of the Spanish countryside

    Cobie galgos 1 400 1 2020
    From Cobie at Protectora Scooby Residencia Valladolid.

    The discarded galgos become part of the landscape in certain places in Spain and during a specific time of the year.

    It is sad to see how they roam the fields, roads, towns and cities looking for something to satisfy their hunger with and somewhere to shelter from the cold. Above all, it is devastating and frustrating to see how many of them end up dead, lying on the road or in a ditch, after being run over.

    We don’t have the solution to end this problem that many don’t even want to see. We cannot change or make new laws; all we can do is try to rescue as many as possible and provide them with a safe place, food and veterinary assistance, and then look for families that give them the love they deserve and never had.

  • Protectora Scooby to the rescue again

    Scooby Tera 1 400 1 2020
    Tera was found wandering with a karabiner hooked on one of her legs. It seems that some heartless idiot thought she would not move or escape by being subject to this sensitive area, but it was not like this, and this smart girl managed to escape from the hands of her abuser. She was picked up and taken to the municipal kennel of Valladolid, where Scooby has taken her out to find her now a family that of all the love he has never received.
    Despite his bad experience lived, Tira has not lost confidence in humans and is a very cheerful and loving galguita .

    Would you like to share your life with her?

  • Galga dumped tied to a streetlight!

    Peludos Difude Angeles galga streetlight 400 1 2020
    From Peludos Difude Angeles

    It’s not fair to find a creature like this, tied to a streetlight in an area where there are no houses and with the cold. No water, no food, how far will we get? I need help, I don’t have where to put it and less because it’s female and those I have taken in are all males which some have been years without seeing a female.

    Please help, (people of Seville) 676973589 Marco
