  • Protectora Scooby Medina and the Halloween House of Horrors Rescue 2

    More on the rehabilitation of the 9 galgos rescued from the House of Horrors

    The 4 fearfuls will definitely need to go to an experienced family home or homes and the 5 should eventually settle into adoption with relative ease.  However, at some level, they all have a degree of anxiety having been simply left alone without daily contact from humans or any carefully managed experiences of, or introductions to doggy life in the outside world. They have certainly all suffered from incarceration and are now showing signs of trepidation when it comes to forming social bonds. Their past has compromised their welfare and this is very clear in their reduced responsiveness to humans. (more…)

  • Protectora Scooby – saving galgos from the Halloween House of Horror

    From Fermin Perez at Protectora Scooby.

    One of our most harrowing rescue missions in a long time was at Halloween on 31 October. We received a call from a hunter who was giving up hunting and wanted his 9 galgos to come into Scooby’s care. We drove in the pouring rain to the address we were given. The circumstances the dogs were kept in were some of the most horrific I’ve seen in many years. The conditions were absolutely squalid: Debris, filth, rats and an unbearable stench. The galgos themselves were not in bad shape. They needed vet care, castrating/ spaying and rehab. (more…)

  • SOS Galgos – no justice still for 3 murdered galgos

    From SOS Galgos

    7 years to judge the death of 3 greyhounds. 7 years!  Is this really justice?
    The trial for the 3 greyhounds that appeared in sacks inside the Guadaíra River in 2020, one of them still alive, was to be held on 18 November.  We’ve been waiting for 3 years… and resigned because no one cited the 7 key witnesses. (more…)

    Open photo

    Galgo Project EU is a Dutch organisation dedicated to supporting, rescuing, and giving a voice to galgos and podencos. They work closely with Spanish shelters, help dogs find safe homes, and raise awareness about the structural mistreatment these dogs still suffer.

    With Galgo Project EU, we’re gathering data, testimonies, and concrete evidence to build a detailed dossier for the European Parliament. Our goal is clear:

    To hold Spain accountable for not applying Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty, and to push for equal, EU-wide protection of all dogs, including galgos and podencos, without exceptions. (more…)

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – another unwanted galga now safe

    From Sandy Galgoslover

    Recently we received a call about this girl. Unwanted… “no longer useful”… words no animal should ever have to hear. You can imagine the rest.

    This sweet soul lives with a hunter. She has given her whole life: worked, obeyed, never complained. She endured humiliation, swallowed disappointment, and never understood why love for her had to be so scarce. (more…)
