A special wedding guest - a Scooby galga

A Scooby galgo as a special guest at the wedding of his adoptants. Beautiful.

'Have you seen such a beautiful bridesmaid? Her human dad got married a few days ago and of course, she couldn't miss it on such a noted and important day.

Two years ago Scar was abandoned by her owner because she was no longer worth racing in races. Now lives in Bilbao with a wonderful family who respects her and wants as she deserves. Congratulations to the newlyweds and thank you for making us get this magnificent picture.'

Young Galgo Langui - with Dogs of Portugal waiting for his forever home

Name: Langui, Gender: M, Breed: Spanish galgo, Age: d-o-b: 22 January 2019, dewormed, vaccinated

Langui was discarded by the breeder when he was a puppy because someone stepped on his front right leg when he was just born, maybe even the mother, and the leg was broken. It grew together immediately, puppies heal in no time but he slightly limps. He has grown since and this limping is hardly visible and does not affect him at all. He runs, plays, jumps and nothing aches him. He has been seen by the vets and Xrays were done and he is good as he is. No surgery necessary.

As he was discarded by the breeder, he was taken over by someone who wanted to save him and for a few months he lived with her and her dogs. In an apartment. He walked on the leash on the streets. He is a dog used to live in a home, with other dogs and walk on the leash.

He is super friendly, very affectionate and he gets easily attached to people. Such a lovely galgo boy.

Galgo Zac with Scooby - hoping for a forever home

It's sad that black dogs are the last to get adopted because when in good condition, their gleaming shiny black coats are stunning. I don't think any other colour shines like black. Imagine this boy with a gorgeous colourful galgo collar...he's with Cobie at Scooby in Valladolid.

'Have you ever seen a more gorgeous, black galgo than this one? That´s almost impossible...This is Zar and he was in the perrera municipal from Valladolid but now he is safe in the Scooby residencia. Three years young and super sweet and affectionate!'

Contact Scooby if you can offer him a home and a place in your heart forever.

Toledo - galgo puppy for adoption

Refugio adopta Y Se Feliz

'She is "fleeting" a beautiful pure galgo puppy, who has been born with a malformation in the right rear paw, so she is no good for hunting or racing! But she will have a normal life, walks and runs without a problem with the other dogs, is very good, and will be a beautiful little girl whose malformation will not prevent doing anything. In fact, with this poblem it has only served to ensure her life will be more happy from puppyhood.! She's going to be a home, not hunting.

It's ideal. Mimosona and creamsicle.

She will have a contract of adoption and sterilization before the year.
