Pet’s day 2014 (sorry for the delay)




A short update, just to say that again the pet’s day in Valladolid has been a real success, this year everything has been organized by Alicia Tardon with a group of volunteers, I am not going to write all the names, because probably I will forget one and then I have a problem, but I want to thank publiquely to all of them, well done it has been a real pleasure to enjoy this day like always. We had different kind of competitions for pets, like the best six  legs, or the most beautiful poodle, we had a shop with all our merchandise, a parade with our animals for adoption, some of them also in a stand so everybody can approach them, puppies and kittens and a raffle , everything a real success , so until next year.
Kisses licks and hugs from all our hairy and featherd animals. Fermín

Things that make me happy 2



I am absolutely delighted because my school worked is ending and my holidays are starting, this year has been really exhausting and you will think what the hell is this man telling us , we don’t mind about his holidays, anyway I only wanted to share it with you.  I like to go and see our adopted animals. I am happy because chocolate has found a new house , I am also happy because the foot of Christiane is getting better, there are so many little things that make all of us happy that is good to share with the rest, I am happy because the sun rises every day, I am happy because last Saturday I had a nice dinner with friends in my house, by the way I finished it , in not very good alcoholic conditions, but I was at home so no driving, no problem, I am happy to see our doggies going on transports because it means that they have a new home. Kisses , licks and hugs from all of us. Fermín

Things that make me angry 7




I know that what I am going to say is not politically correct but I am fed up of being polite , here I go; animal welfare people we are mean people and now I am going to explain why, we are absolutely jealous if one organization is going well , then we think that something must be hidden with the manager  and I am going to be more clear, last weekend we had the pet’s day in Valladolid , there were many organizations from Valladolid, they  were represented with their stands, I was walking among all of them and we were not able to say nothing to each other, this is absolutely ridiculous and this is the reason why animal welfare is not important at all at any part of the world.
 Another thing that it is ridiculous is that in a province with a population of half a million people there are more than 15 animal welfare organizations, and all of us we claim that we are the ones and the others doesn’t exist, also something really mean is what I have seen in some Facebook pages from some of these orgs related with the Bullas case, they were sharing news coming from other orgs and liking them instead of doing with the original rescue organization,
or something mean is what has happened with another org from Valladolid related with legs in their name, is that they are losing an adoption in Germany only because they are too proud to ask us for help, or one org in Salamanca that is claiming that they cannot rescue dogs because they don’t have money enough, probably this is why they owe us around 6000 euros and they don’t pay , but they were able to pay a dog killer in Zamora a lot of money, or another two different orgs in Salamanca that now they are helping to rehome the dogs from the province of Salamanca and before when we had the contract , they were not able never, ever to ask us if we needed help, or the org in Zamora who report our vet for a bad performance without any proofs and when Enrique asked them , the answer was that they never tell in advance to the people that they are reporting, or when this org is trying to make our lives in Zamora very difficult, we know but we cannot make it public that they have reported us several times , obviously without any success . Sometimes I would like to give up and tell all this people , if you are so perfect just do the work , why they are not trying to get the contracts in their provinces? Probably because it is better not to have any obligations and to criticize the rest and really I am fed up, live and let the others live,too. Kisses,  licks and hugs from all of us . Fermín

Fundraising for Scooby ambulance

The photos show today's launch of the fundraising effort in aid of the Scooby ambulance. The Scooby shelter in Spain is raising funds to buy an ambulance so that the team can venture deeper into the rural areas to collect strays and uncastrated dogs to take them back to the shelter to neuter them. Many of the street puppies are galgo mixes, an unnecessary consequence of the numerous abandoned galgos. The photos show some of the people and dogs supporting today's launch. Thanks to everyone for supporting the kick-off. Please let us know if you'd like to help to raise funds for this project. You might be able to raise funds through a coffee morning with friends, a car boot, a plant sale or a small raffle. Every little helps. This is a much needed project and unique to Spain.
 
With many thanks

PRESS RELEASE July 2-2014

The Sociedad Protectora de Animales y Medio Ambiente Scooby will start a new campaign with the objective to collect funds for the over 1.000 animals that they have in their care.

This campaign, which was named “Green Meadows”, was started to be able to continue watering the 25 acres where Scooby is located with their buildings and their animals.  The area that holds the refuge Scooby (province of Valladolid, in Castilla Leon) is a dry zone and where, without extra watering , it  is very difficult to grow anything, so not even the grass that is needed as food for some of our animals such as the horses, sheep, goats and donkeys. Watering this extensive area means a high expense in use of electricity.
Green Meadows offers everybody willing to help us the possibility of acquiring symbolically one square meter of our land for the cost of 0,50 euro. This way you will be able to actively participate in the feeding of our animals in a simple and economical way.
All of you willing to participate can do so through one of our bankaccounts or via PAYPAL to de@scoobymedina.com.
