Protectora Scooby saving more abandoned galgos

More news from Cobie at Scooby.

Two more are already safe!

These two pretty galgas have been part of the Palencia "landscape" for almost three months, we had already lost the hope of being able to rescue them , but finally, we have succeeded.

Both are young girls and although we have had to use a trap cage to be able to take them because they did not trust us, they are very good and they love to receive cuddles and caresses .

There are still many galgos that are waiting to be rescued, we continue trying to help them and give them the dignified life they deserve.

If you want to support the work we do, you can do it in the following ways:

13 years faithful service then dumped in a perrera! Protectora Scooby to the rescue.

From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid.

'For 13 years she was in the hands of her galguero and then he decided to leave her in the perrera provincial of Valladolid. Scooby has taken her out as soon as we heard about it. He should have done it at least 10 years earlier...now this sweet and quiet girl doesn’t want anything else but a warm home with a loving family and a soft bed where she can enjoy the years she has left to live, and finally learn what a happy dog’s life really is! If you think you could give her that chance please get in touch.'

Protectora Scooby - 36 hounds saved in 31 days!

From Cobie at Scooby.

November 26 - December 26.

31 days, 36 galgos.

Some of them have been taken out of the perrera, others have arrived through collection services, several have been found wandering the fields, and there are those that have been left in Scooby by their own owners while others have landed in the shelter in a rather reckless, inhuman way; being thrown over a two meter fence.

They’ve got here in different ways, but they all have something in common, they are galgos and they’ve been abandoned at a certain time of the year; a time designated for hunting and racing, when these dogs have to demonstrate their best qualities and abilities.

Galga Blanquita - safe now with Scooby

Podenco Friends - rescuing hounds in the terrible storms

From Bev Farmer. I had the pleasure of meeting her friend Janette when I visited Bev a few years ago. This is what happened during one of the worst storms to hit Andalucia. Sadly storms are still forecast to hit the region.

'Just before the big storms hit us in Spain Janette Lopez was contacted by a local perrera 7 galgos and a Podenco had been handed in by a Galguero and could she help .. Her rescue is mainly local adoptions of family type dogs and she doesn't get much interest in sighthounds. So she asked me if I could team up with her and help with them .. No problem Janette ....

Then a couple of days later I was asked if we could help with a galga who had just given birth in a disused finca surround by rubbish. 3 pups had already died and it was a matter of urgency to get them to safety .. I had no space here to take them so Janette took them. At the time it seemed all manageable, 15 dogs. Then disaster struck and one of the worst Gota Frias recorded in the region hit .. Janette's rescue was badly flooded and a lot of damage. On top of that she took in 27 dogs displaced because of the storms plus a couple of goats and to date only a couple of people have come forward to claim them.

El Amigo Fiel Cordoba - another association helping galgos and podencos

Here's another rescue and rehoming association to add to my list. Since I started my involvement with the galgos and podencos and writing my blogs to publicise their plight, I am delighted in the increase in rescue associations now involved with helping these wonderful but abused hounds.

More young galgos rescued by Protectora Scooby

'We've just brought four new galgas from the municipal dog pound of Valladolid. Meet Arena, Lluvia, Risca and Reina. They are young, between 8 months and 3 years old. Although handed over by the galguero following the required procedures, which is obviously better then throwing them over the fence or leaving them to their fate somewhere, they still add to the number of abandoned dogs. They’re getting familiar with their new place and their new friends, and besides being beautiful they’re lovely, affectionate dogs. It goes without saying that they are all looking for a family who will love and look after them.'

Protectora Scooby - 3 galgo pups thrown over the wall!

From Cobie at Protectora Scooby.

22/11/2019 - 2 Hours ago, 3 galgopups from some 4 months young were thrown over the wall from the big playfield at the Scooby residencia. They are of course terrified, it´s very dark there and impossible to catch them now so they will have to spend the dark and cold night outside. They have access to an empty kennel where I´ve put water, food and blankets and can only hope they will find it...It is too dark to make pictures of them but tomorrow I will if they are still there which of course I hope with all my heart because normally the dogs can´t escape from there. I´ve called the police and they will come here tomorrow so at least they know that these things are happening here! I hate these galgueros who do this so much, I´m ready to kill a few of them!!
