Protectora Scooby - saving the needy hounds

'Elderly dogs, with tumors, with Leishmania or extremely thin... When we rescue animals we do it because they need help and because we’re worried about the fate that might await them without it.

We don’t choose them for their color, size or age, nor do we care if they’re healthy or sick ... We don’t select which dogs to help, we don’t think about whether they’re more or less beautiful or sociable, we don’t even consider if they will be easily adopted or if no one will want to give them a home and they’ll have to spend the rest of their lives with us in the shelter. None of that matters ...

In Scooby we are animal lovers and our main goal is to help the ones most in need as they also deserve the best life possible.

Galgo Dante hoping for a forever home

Google translation from Spanish.

'We tell you his sad story, Dante was rescued by a wonderful person with his sister Ágata, they were probably hunter waste, they were welcomed into a house but he asked us for desperate help because he had cats and Dante is not fit with them, so he we made room in our shelter.

His sister Ágata was soon adopted instead for him nothing came out, Dante was very sad after the departure of his sister and to top it off other dogs did not accept him and beat him, he was welcomed and his welcome can not have him anymore, if nothing comes he will have to return to the shelter to a cold canine ... Please help him, to go back to the shelter will take a toll,

ANTE ️DANTE is a Barcino galgo of impressive beauty, he is only 2 years old, he is the embodiment of sweetness, a velvety rose with petals, he is a galgo for which there are no adjectives to describe him, his serene sweetness and his Immediate dedication to those who wish to share their lives with him . He is a calm calm, excellent companion for those who do not have a life too dynamic and love to walk. Sociable with other dogs. A home for Dante would be ideal where you can live with other dogs. He is not fit with cats. Walk great on a leash.

He follows you without delay and wishes to see the moment of having a family with whom to share a true respectful and happy life.'

Galga Solé - from Spanish hell with a hunter to a new life in Germany

From Ann Marie Payne of Ann's Canine Care in Malaga.

'Today marks the end of a chapter, and a new life for Solé. The last of the 4 galgos that arrived on the same day, unwanted by their hunter/breeder. I don't want to think of their life with him because Solé came to me so broken. Sometimes they are so traumatised leaving the only place they've ever known, even if these places are just awful in our eyes, other times it could be something that's happened in their past, or not happened as in the case of not being socialised with other people.

But whatever the case Solé is a survivor, and has overcome many things to be where she is today. Over the last few weeks I've pondered whether to keep her with me and bring her on more, or put her up for adoption with somebody experienced with traumatised dogs. Well fate stepped in and she has been offered a wonderful foster placement with a lady in Germany who has rescued galgos of her own, and is also so experienced dealing with dogs that have issues. I cannot let this opportunity pass her by, and have to let her go no matter how much it hurts.

4 more young galgos rescued by Protectora Scooby

From Scooby - it's never ending!

'What to say about the abandonment of galgos... if we already said it all. 21 galgos (al between a month and a half and 3 years old) collected in just 26 days and all of them in the provinces of Salamanca, Zamora, Palencia and Valladolid.

These four guys have been picked up a few days ago in a village of Zamora, and unfortunately, they won't be the last.

In order to continue helping them we need your support and collaboration.

Protectora Scooby - always there for all the animals

I know it's an old film but much of what is on the video hasn't changed...just a few more shelters and enclosures gone up for the animals...but the team stays the same, the animals keep coming in...and Scooby needs the support.

Video 2 - Christelle visits with her father - this is 2016 - sadly nothing has changed, the galgueros still overbreed their hounds and abandon in the same numbers.

Walking in Spain for the homeless hounds

From Ann Marie Payne of Ann's Canine Care.

'This is to show you that although I live in a hunting area, hunting with galgos and podencos, and the abuse they suffer is not condoned by all people in the town. This photo is of a group of ladies that put on a catwalk show to highlight some of the abandoned dogs found in Campillos, and other dogs needing homes. I am 3rd from the left with Mattei, and Suerte is in the centre. Both have gone on to find loving and forever homes.

So please when you see graphic photos of abused dogs in Spain please take into account that many, many individual Spanish people, charities and groups are trying to help the situation, and they go unnoticed.

Thank you. Ann and the dogs

Scooby - 3 young galgos with wounds..in Salamanca

Three young siblings galgos (two boys and a girl) picked up in Salamanca.

They have some wounds, but they are not serious, so in a few days they will have healed, like those wounds that are not seen, those of abandonment wounds, which will heal as soon as they find a family that give them all love they deserve.
