Our clinic is full

Here at Scooby we continue our work to rescue animals. So right now, our clinic is completely full. Daily, we are treating in our clinic all kinds of infections, mange, bites, pneumonia, parvo, breaks, eye infections, we have to give daily medicines to chronically ill dogs and if that was not enough,  people without any scruples leave litters of pups at our doors that we have to bottlefeed and of course give them medical treatment because they end up sick being so little.  We are completely  out of our depth, our vets are working around the clock to help all the animals but we are getting desperate.   And then comes the economic problem, imagine the veterinary costs involved to help all these animals get better. We are in need of your help to cover the costs of all these medical treatments.

Pika’s wish

It is 7 in the morning and the sunrays touching my face awaken me. I yawn and stretch so that every part of my body knows it is time to start moving. I want to be positive and I tell myself  that today is going to be a good day. I look around me and try to remember what place it is I am in, I now it is some kind of shelter called Scooby, where they treat me well and take care of me but I need something else, something more, where all the attention and love is for me alone, where I get more attention, where they take me for walks every day and I can smell something different.

I am all alone in this kennel because my mates in the patio didn’t let me eat, as far as they told me they had had a terrible time and spend days without food so I felt sorry and gave them my meals until one day I became ill because I didn’t eat enough. So I am in a smaller place right now but I know it is just temporary until they find me a home.

Today will be that day so I lick my paws to look good and I place myself behind the door, sitting there waiting for the person who is going to give me that chance. I charge myself with positive energy and tell myself that today is going to be the day.

After waiting quite some time, some people arrive, one of them very short (they say it was their son) and he walks immediately towards me , so I get very excited and wag my tail so hard that my behind follows the movement and the little boy smiles and caresses me. What a great feeling, the touch of that little boy made me feel alive again, I felt loved and leaned my head against his hand and wished for this moment to last forever. My wish wasn’t fulfilled and lasted just a short time because his mother came to get him and said they didn’t come for me and I was too big for an apartment and besides I was a hunting dog and wasn’t suitable to be a pet.

All my dreams and wishes vanished into thin air when I saw this little boy leave with his mother, and I realized I was wrong, it was not going to be my day today, nor tomorrow, nor the day after. All the people that pass by either don’t notice me or they just say “poor thing”.

And here I am, hoping to experience again how that little boy made me feel, the warmth and love he made me feel with his caress, that a hand that small can make you feel so good and that for once in my life I felt loved. I will keep waiting for that chance, I won’t lose hope, but I just hope that moment comes soon. That is my wish.

If the perfect dog exists, it is our Linda

Linda, all our workers and volunteers love her with her modest, gentle and docile character.

Her left hind leg probably was broken a long time ago and not treated, so when she is standing still you can still see it but it does not cause her pain or problems  and she walks normally.

She is perfect with the other dogs in the garden and loves humans. We simply don´t believe that there is nobody out there who wants to adopt her, this 10 year old beautiful lady.  So we are trying to convince you now with a whole bunch of new pictures and a short video and we HOPE that one of you falls for her and saves her from spending her old days at the shelter. You won´t regret it, promised!!

Proud Podencos at Scooby

In our country not only the galgos are discarded and abused at the end of hunting season. There are also other breeds, and one of them is the podenco, that suffer the same fate. This breed is less wellknown than the galgo but suffers the same way they do. When they are no longer useful, they are being discarded in the most cruel way in a lot of cases and in other cases they are left to their own devices. But although they are less known, the podencos are excellent companions, they are loving, intelligent, obedient and normally don’t mind having to share their home with other dogs, cats or any other pet. They are especially good with children, playful and funny. They hardly bark and are very quiet. With a simple daily walk to spend their energy, you hardly even notice there is a dog around the house!

Any way, each of them has their own special personality and are worthy to get to know. If you decide to give one of them a chance to show how they are, you are certainly not going to regret it. They stole our hearts.
