  • Protectora Scooby wins the battle

    Scooby court prosecution galgo 14 6 2022
    From Protectora Scooby

    ‘Last year we picked up a galgo with a chip whose owner did not want him, so we brought the fact to the competent authorities. Well, a few weeks ago we got the resolution of the filed complaint and we share with you to give us if you want your opinion, because if we take into account that the poor dog could have died, been run over (among other things) 3.001,00 € fine left something short…

    The good thing is that now our handsome boy will have the chance to start a new and happy life with a family that values and truly loves him.

  • A new strain of tick-borne disease – Rickettsia

    A new strain of tick-borne disease

    Ticks can carry quite a few pathogens that can cause disease in dogs and humans. Some of these pathogens are viruses, some are bacteria, and some are protozoa (single-celled animals). Rikettsia are very small bacteria species that grow inside the living cells of their hosts. Different strains of Rikettsia are responsible for diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and various strains of typhus.

  • 58 hunting hounds rescue from a life of hell in Spain

    Sadly not an unusual situation for the poor hunting hounds in Spain – so many hidden valleys where the dogs can be kept away from public view. Details of one recent rescue.

    ‘Seprona and colleagues from other associations came to the site to confiscate 58 dogs from a hunting racket. We were six associations that have helped get those animals out of there. But sadly it hasn’t been possible to get them all out. 9 have stayed there.

    The asso Los Angeles de Lora have helped three, we didn’t have room for more. All the dogs are physically very bad, very very thin, they were fed water and hard bread and sometimes dead birds. A filthy place where no one should be forced to live. Here are a few general photos of everything that happened, you can see how the dogs were kept on short chains.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – 8 more new arrivals!

    GRA Badajoz 2 400
    8 new arrivals in one week, just after the pregnant galga! 4 new ones from the Badajoz region, a hellhole for galgos.

    And a couple of days later 4 more arrived. Fea, Alexa ,Drago and Rayó, they seem to be in quite good condition and not too traumatized. Drago has some wounds on his ears, Alexa has a wound on her hind leg and Rayó is limping. We will keep an eye on it for a few weeks and if no improvement is visible we will have x-rays taken.

    GRA is a small shelter overflowing with hounds, desperately needing help with vet fees and food.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – and the galgos keep arriving!

    This poor galga was rescued, heavily pregnant, and arrived at the GRA shelter, not long after she’d given birth to 10 puppies! Here’s what Sandy says.

    ‘Fortunately, this mom was rescued in time so that she can give birth to her little ones in a clean environment. And especially now with this unbearable heat, her rescue came none too soon. Our help was requested to take her in and give her the necessary care. Soon after we’d agreed, we received news that it was time for this mom to bring her little ones into the world. In the meantime she has given birth and they have all arrived at our shelter.

    We ask for help/support to provide this family with the necessary care/nutrition/vaccination/blood tests etc’

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    For donations please:

    Thank you very much!’
