The Sociedad
Protectora de Animales y Medio Ambiente Scooby was in charge of over 700
adoptions over the year 2012. The majority of these adoptions took place in
Europe, 77,28% to be specific, the other 22.7% were in Spain. A much lower
amount that in the rest of Europe and Scooby Medina has been trying to
ameliorate this rate by campaigning for raising awareness, sensibilisation and giving
information, and little by little all this work is becoming succesful.
Over 800 dogs have
passed the facilities in Scooby Medina over the year 2012, which is more or
less the same as last year. During this period a total of 150 dogs were adopted
in Spain, the majority of which were mixed breed dogs, and nowadays you can
meet them in cities like Valladolid, Cáceres, Madrid, Zaragoza, Valencia,
Vizcaya, Burgos, Tarragona, Ávila, León, Segovia, Almería, Barcelona, Girona,
Palencia, Asturias, A Coruña, or Zamora.
This is set against
over 500 adoptions in Europe, most of which were galgos. The French and the Italians
are leading in the adoption of dogs. During this year 189 dogs were adopted in
France, for which 13 drives were needed. Italy adopted 156 dogs, requiring 6
drives. The Dutch, Belgians and Slovenes are the rest of the Europeans showing
their solidarity with Scooby, with respectively 99, 66, 25 and 10 adoptions.
Inhabitants of
other european countries, and also Americans, have adopted a small number of
Scooby animals.
Adopting out and
maintenance of this amount of animals at Scooby is possible thanks to the
collaboration of hundreds of individuals, volunteers, adoptants and donators
whose cooperation and help has enabled this project to be up and running well
for over 20 years.
In the past years
the amount of work needed has increased enormously, needing more individuals
participating with this activity which is very gratifying but impossible
without a steady and adequate amount of maintenance.
For the activities
re raising awareness and sensibilisation we will start handing out calendars to
children in all kindergartens and primary schools. In total we will hand out
1.500 calendars.

There are two goals
with this campaign; firstly making sure more people know about Scooby and the
importance of animals with the smallest children, secondly making sure the
population of Medina del Campo and surrounding towns and villages know more
about the work done at Scooby.
We would like to
thank everyone who by supporting us made it possible to bring the work of
Scooby to even the smallest children.
Thank you.
