Scooby Medina is the largest animal shelter in Spain, with over 600 animals, mostly dogs, all desperately needing forever homes.

Mo Swatek of Pro Galgo is happy to say that the first of the Jerez galgos are out and safe in Catalonia.

I had to take them because we were afraid that somebody adopts only the pup letting the old mum alone.
