Protectora Scooby - educating the young Spanish

Protectora Scooby visits schools

'Last week we started the first talks about animal welfare, responsible coexistence and bite prevention at the CRA La Esgueva, within the educational project, "A Muzzle in Your Life." The students have participated a lot, asking lots of questions and telling anecdotes about the animals they have at home.

We thank the principal and the teaching team for the great welcome and their great interest in these topics. Now they know how to take better care of pets and have learned to understand how dogs talk to us.'

Galga Orla with Galgos en Familia - hoping for a forever home

From Galgos en Familia

'Today we are going to talk to you about Orla.

Orla is a 7-year-old Galgo female, she was rescued by our colleagues from Siempre Contigo en Rota, there the owner took them, with a clear message: "o las cogéis or las quito de enmedio", yes, of course. (You take her or I'll get rid of her').

Orla's life hasn't been easy, her scars and the state of her body, tell us that she knows pain well and what it's like to give birth in every heat.

Luckily all that is now behind and Orla has started a new life, a life in which there is affection, care and respect. Orla is a very grateful girl, close, caring and quiet, she still must adapt to city life, traffic, noise, etc...but we know little by little she will get it.

Difference between a Podenco and Galgo?

What is the difference between a Galgo and a Podenco?
A Real Life Story written by an unknown Author...

"Besides the obvious, Humans often ask;
What is the difference between a Galgo and a Podenco?

I want to explain it by an example:

A Trip to the Dog Park

We Arrive;

The Galgos are running like crazy.
The Pods welcome every dog, man, tree, blade of grass with endless, constantly changing, body language and facial expressions.

The First Five Minutes after Arrival;
The galgos are running like crazy.
The Pods dig up seventy small animals, they create mounds of undefinable mud, which sticks to everything it touches.

16 October 2022 - Demonstrations throughout Spain and Spanish Islands

Sunday 16th October. Demonstrations across Spain to demand the inclusion of hunting dogs in the new Spanish animal protection laws. It is an outrage that the government should exclude them. Same dogs. Same law. #MismosPerrosMismaLey

JUST LOOKING FOR A HOME
