Trek for tech - raising funds for Scooby Protectora

I've only just found this story, so apologies for it being a little late, but good to read. Translation from Italian.

She did it! Ruth has completed her "Trek for Tech".

She traveled 115 km and collected more than 2,000 € for the purchase of laser equipment and magnetic therapy.

Ruth ended her journey the same day the Scooby transporter crossed the finish line, with her load of dogs and cats reaching their new families in the Netherlands.

Two very special events for the animals, which occurred on the same day.

Thanks to the Scooby drivers who drive for hours, to accompany the animals to the families that will welcome them with love, thanks to Ruth for completing her trekking along the Way, and a big thank you to all the donors who supported her.

Saved from the Malaga storms - safe with Ann's Canine Care

During the storms in Malaga a completely starved galga was found on the street. Ann Marie Payne of Ann's Canine Care immediately promised to take her in. Poor hound is full of wounds, we don't know what she has been through, and it looks like she's pregnant. Ann is taking her to her vet tomorrow. Let's hope the best that Monica, apart from her injuries, is healthy.

Ann is naturally happy about any support in the form of donations or sponsorships.

Hunting in Spain has started - and the first victims arrive at Scooby!

Scooby Medina del Campo - 2 sick galgo puppies

Two of our puppies are sick. At the moment they are hospitalized, since they need medication and to be monitored. The best thing for them would be to finish recovering in a foster home.

Could it be yours? If so, send us an email to seguimientos@scoobymedina.org. The homes must be in Medina del Campo or Valladolid.

If you can´t adopt but you want to help us to continue saving lives, you can do that in the following ways:

Ann's Canine Care - shelter needs help to build a quarantine kennel

I've featured some of Ann Marie Payne's poems on my blogs. Another volunteer in Spain saving and rehoming the unwanted hounds, including a podenca mum and her 5 pups living in a cave, which appeal I featured on Podenco Post. Now Ann needs help herself. She explains why below

'Last year we were forced out of our premises, conned out of €1,800 and were left with nowhere to go. We did a fund raise and fortunately many people donated and helped us to move to where we are now, and at first it seemed like paradise. We had a wonderful summer and all the dogs were happy. But then came the winter, which was the worst in 10 years for rainfall. The kennels were flooding every day because there was nowhere for the rain to drain away. Every day I had to brush the water into buckets and then carry them outside and empty them on to the street. It was a total nightmare.

Support the Purple Poppy Campaign

The first Murphy’s Army Purple Poppy Campaign was launched in 2016 to encourage members of the public to come together to pay tribute to the many animals lost in Service, and to those who Serve us today.

Our research had shown that although the traditional red poppy was well known, the significance of the purple poppy – to remember the animals – was less so. Hopefully our efforts over the years have changed that as many more purple poppies are now being worn with pride.

In this very special anniversary year – 100 years since the guns fell silent on the Western Front and the end of the First World War – let’s make our 2018 Purple Poppy Campaign an even greater success.

Please join with us and together let’s ensure that the animals who lost their lives during this conflict, those lost in Service since, and those who serve us today, are not forgotten but forever remembered alongside their human counterparts.

Ann's Canine Care - two more galgos saved from the pound

Ann's Canine Care in Malaga has recently rescued these two galgos, now named Duke and Oliver. It's not just a case of a volunteer turning up at the pound, paying the fee and getting the dog. Here Ann says thank you to the team of people who helped her.

'A lot of special people to say thank you to today. And because of them Duke and Oliver are out of the pound and, into the next stage of finding their forever homes. Thank you Heidi Goll, Beate Zwickenpflug for arranging their release, and to all the Godmothers for supporting them. Cristina Mora Carballo for organising the transport for them, and to Dori Barragán and her husband for taking me to the pound to release them and bringing us all back home. The boys have settled in nicely, and will update more about their personalities in a few days when I know more. A great day for the Galgos'
