Since the beginning of my involvement with the plight of the Galgo and Podenco back in 2007, I have watched the explosion of rescue associations - especially since the advent of Facebook in 2011 - which has been a positive in the struggle to deal with the treatment and abandonment of the hounds every year by the Galgueros. Many of these fabulous hounds now travel long journey across the Atlantic to forever homes in America and Canada.
Recently one of the US homing associations visited SOS Galgos to take back some hounds lucky enough to be offered forever homes. Here's what happened.
'We wish to give a huge heartfelt thank you to Captain Kate for having come to visit the SOS Galgos Rescue & Education Center in Barcelona and an equally huge heartfelt thanks to Founder of the Daphne Legacy Tour, Christina Azharian, for making it all come together. Much needed awareness has been raised about the plight of these gentle but resilient survivors, the Galgos, who are used and abused by Spanish hunters (galgueros) for hare coursing from September to February, year after year. Only awareness will make change. More education means less rescue. Thank you'
The Daphne Legacy Tour is a transport organization, bringing Galgos to the USA from Spain to be adopted through Greyhound adoption groups.

In 2015 Sandy and John Cortebeeck sold up in Belgium and moved to Almeria to open a kennels. As with all good intentions, for dog lovers in Spain, the mass abandonment of galgos and podencos takes over everyone's life. Thank goodness there are people willing to give up almost everything to help these amazing dogs, treated like rubbish by the sub-human Spanish galgueros.

Video of galga Eden who came to Galgos Rescue Almeria covered in ticks and starving. Great to see her doing so well, and what a lovely forgiving dog.

From Cobie at Scooby Residencia Valladolid
'This very sweet galgo is blind and if that isn't already bad enough, now he also has a bloodear/othematome in both ears! He has been operated on for this rather painfull issue in the Scooby hospital in Santovenia. All went well and he (Balu) is back and he has undergone the operation as a real hero! He does not like too much the Isabellina cap but what needs to be has to be and hopefully it won't be needed very long. Well done to the vets and to our special blind boy Balu.
Donations to help with the vet fees will be gratefully received.

Scooby reports that the galgueros are now crossing galgos and whippets to introduce mini galgos. These two puppies were found abandoned and bald near Zamorra, about 6 months old, a serious case of mange, but were rescued by Scooby and after treatment they are now ready for adoption. Introducing Romulus and Remus.

Scooby Spanish Dog Rescue UK is the UK agent responsible for rehoming abandoned and often abused dogs from the Scooby Animal Shelter in Medina, northern Spain. We find suitable foster and permanent adoption homes throughout the UK and take care of all the stages from bringing your chosen Spanish rescue from the shelter to the UK.
Our aim is to help Scooby Medina rehome the excess of dogs that they protect to prevent them living the rest of their days in the shelter, sadly there is simply not enough demand at this present time to all be rehomed in Spain. Over time we hope this might change and our services will no longer be required. This can only be achieved by educating and raising awareness throughout the rural communities of Spain into understanding the importance of neutering and to eradicate needless neglect, cruelty and abandonment for good.
