Protectora Scooby – a very sick galga needs help
we have to tell you a case that we need your help.We recently picked up in Palencia a galguita tied near our facilities, some soulless had abandoned it.
She’s about 4 years old, she had many wounds and we think she was stabbed because she’s very shy, but very good.Well when taking her to our veterinary hospital for a checkup, our beloved vet who had more problems, ran several tests and noticed something in her blood. After conducting a test we got the bad surprise that Ehrlichia and Leishmania has. We’ve let her in for a few days while she gets cures and treatment for both illnesses. She’s been bathed with a special shampoo and she’s slowly recovering.

Valencia Floods – SOS Podencos update
From SOS Podencos – at one point the water was waste deep.31/10/2024
Most of our dogs are out of the kennel and placed into temporary foster homes. The two remaining are inside the house that is in the kennel, and they will leave today.
There are still other dogs in the kennel that aren’t ours, but it seems the legal owners don’t want them to go into foster homes..Now is the time to clean, fix and rebuild!
If you can come help, it will be appreciated.
Here is a video of the state of the kennel. It’s full of mud and water. The fences are broken, ripped from the ground. All the dog food is gone. The dog beds are gone or broken. -

FINALLY YESTERDAY THE RIVER OVERFLOWED, REACHED OUR SHELTER AND HAS FLOODED IT
You don’t know how it hurts to write those words
As we already told you, yesterday we were forced to evacuate our shelter, all our dogs due to the risk of flooding, luckily we were able to do it in time we were able to relocate all our children and we want to make it clear that that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing.

Valencia hard hit with flooding too
Today, the sunshine finally returns. I feel incredibly fortunate to be on the periphery of the devastating storms that hit Valencia. Our hearts go out to our friends in the heart of the storm, where shelters have been overwhelmed by the floods. I remember all too well the stress and heartbreak of dealing with similar floods back in 2019—the fear and the urgency, as the water rises so quickly, giving so little time to find safety.
We’re anxiously awaiting news about the many Podencos at SOS Podenco Rescue who were in a flooded residence. The worry is heavy, and we are hoping for a miracle.
Please, let it be good news for these innocent lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected.
