Galgo Verdini needs a foster or adoptive home
Dogs can suffer from health problems like humans, and one of them is epilepsy. Here’s a plea from Puntanimals for help for galgo Verdini.‘VERDINI NEEDS HELP – We need your HELP this time in the form of FOSTER HOUSE FOR VERDiNi. VERDiNi has been diagnosed as epileptic. He has started medication, but to get his seizures under control, he NEEDS CALM and follow a routine that avoids stressful situations. Tricky thing to get in the shelter.
The TREATMENT is very SIMPLE, we don’t need any expert, it consists of one tablet every 12 hours and a little more. But it’s very important to keep him under control and calm so that his situation starts to normalize.
Please IT IS VERY important, we are afraid that he will suffer an irreversible attack for not following such simple guidelines.
VerdiNi deserves help, he’s a 7-year-old ggalgo, calm and very good.
If you can offer a little space in your home to VERDiNi contact (Spain 0034) 610528802 and we’ll give you all the information.
Remember that reacting, commenting, sharing and saving this post will make it reach more people

Puntanimals desperately need help with vet fees for a badly injured galga
As if these poor galgos don’t have enough to put up with from the sub-human galgueros, many end up abandoned and injured. Puntanimals desperately need help with vet fees and ongoing treatment to get this sweet galga back on her feet and a forever home. Please help.
‘WE DON’T HAVE GOOD NEWS
First of all, we want to apologize for not being able to update earlier, we know that many of you are worried, we were doing all
A week ago we announced that we had managed to rescue the galguito of Pozo del Camino, with the help of the people of the area and the maximum dissemination of the case which made it possible to find him.
He was taken right away to the vet where the first thing we were told is it’s female instead of male, so she is now named ANETA.
ANETA, as you can see in the video, IS PARALIZED, due to a cervical injury and possibly aggravated by anaplasma (bacterial infection caused by a tick bite). Just have to do a CT scan to rule out another type of injury. -

Protectora Scooby now 30 years old
Although this is a video from when Scooby was 25 years old, nothing has changed apart from some of the animals! The abandonment of hunting dogs, the cruelty to animals in Spain never changes and yet the Scooby team are always there to help. Please support them.Report and video from Protectora Scooby Palencia which, along with Scooby Zamorra, were the 2 latest shelters to open.
(Translation) ‘Summer is usually a difficult time for animal protectors, since the number of abandoned dogs increases with the holidays. This year, for the moment, fewer dropouts have been registered in Palencia than in previous campaigns, which suggests that society is becoming more aware. But there is still a long way to go, especially when it comes to acquiring a pet. For many, buying an animal is a whim that contributes to increasing the problem. Adopting, on the other hand, can be the solution and gives these animals a second chance.’
And a video of a visit to Protectora Scooby Medina by a young French woman and her father. Note the white podenco sitting in a hole. This is often the ‘bed’ for hounds which are chained outside.
