  • Protectora Scooby – summer newsletter – Declining Adoptions, Rescues & Donations

    SOS Galgos 400 6 2024
    From Fermin.

    ‘We collaborate with 10 – 15 partners internationally who help us fromtime to time to home our rescued dogs and cats in their countries. This is much needed because it is impossible for us to home dogs and cats in significant number in Spain. Shelters like ours cannot operate without international adoptions.

    We, like our adoption artners and fellow shelters around the globe, are witnessing a decline in home offers. We have noticed this trend over the years since 2019/20 and attributed it to the many pets homed during the COVID period. But it is a continuing trajectory and we suspect there may be more to it than a simple glut. It is now so acute that we cannot rescue as many dogs and cats as in prior years or indeed those now in adversity because our refuge is at capacity. It is simple if we don’t move dogs and cats to families, we will not have accommodation space for those in need of rescue.

  • Foster a Podenco for Hope for Podencos

    Houdini 400 1 3 2024
    If you can’t afford to adopt but have room for a podenco in your home, why not consider fostering.

    Hope for Podencos have some which are available for foster till they find their forever homes.

    ‘We need your help!

    On our recent trip to Spain, we forged a partnership with the wonderful SOS Animales Salobrena and have taken a number of podencos in their care under our wing as HFP dogs. Sadly, our new partners have been met with several sets of tragic circumstances including the death of one of their founders, a situation very close to our own hearts, and need to drastically reduce the number of dogs in their care in order to be able to continue their fight.

    These 3 podencos have been rescued and transport is arranged to take them to a shelter.

    ‘UPDATE: We have an asso who will take care of them but we have to pay the transporter: €130 for all 3 dogs. Once again, we need your help.Update, so far 80 euros has been donated so we need 50 euros more.

    Three stooges – all puppies. What can we say? Their looks don’t scream at us. Fear, panic, despair… We can take them out, break the chains that torture them. We are looking for an asso to offer them this waiting family and godmothers to help with their rescue.

  • Plataforma NAC fighting for the hunting dogs of Spain and Spanish Islands

    Plataforma NAC400 8 2024
    PerrosDeCasaNoDeCaza

    A hunting dog’s life is far from ideal. Despite the heroic image some associate with them, these animals often face a reality full of deprivation, danger and suffering. At the end of their “useful life,” many hunting dogs are abandoned, sacrificed, or sold to other hunters, perpetuating a cycle of suffering.

    Sadly and with great powerlessness we see it daily.

    It is time to recognize that these animals are sentient beings who deserve dignity and respect. We need to keep fighting to demand laws that protect them and raise awareness in society about the cruelty of hunting.

    If you feel that our fight is yours, follow us and join us:

  • Adopt a podenco from Lanzarote, Canary Island

    Black podenco 1 400
    Still our sweet VERO hasn’t received any requests.. maybe it’s because she’s already 9 years old, or because they say black dogs are less successful.

    One thing is sure, it’s not by her character, because she’s very sociable and loving.

    After 9 years exploited for reproduction and saved from hell by the authorities, now waiting for a happy ending where she would know the warmth of a home.

  • Volunteering for the dogs in the San Bartolome shelter in Lanzarote, Canary Islands

    Being a volunteer is not just going up to the kennel for a walk, being a volunteer is a mission and a path that hooks you, although unintentionally, on these very special beings. Because when you become a volunteer your life changes, part of your free time is dedicated to them, your thoughts and your desires to see them outside of a cage become constant and above all you become attached, because they are part of your life now, they are your family. Yes, you go up every day, you can to give them a little love so that they feel special because they are and your voice will be theirs to give them strength and hope that one day they will feel the true essence of freedom and a loving home.

    We walk the dogs every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 9-1300.

  • A sad twilight for this old boy in Ourense

    Riqui 1 Ourense 400 8 2024
    Another story of which TEAR your heart and even the soul, this is the grandfather RIQUI, he is 10 years old and looks like he is 15, he is almost blind and deaf. “He lives” in a yard where there are three hundred dogs at his age, how is it possible!! He is very good with everyone, he does NOT have much left, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE a family.

    Riqui came to protection in 2019. He had been tied up his whole life, and one day they decided to let him go and he ran away. He crossed the street, and got hit by a car. They picked it up and with fractures in the back legs, of which it has consequences – it limps and has little strength. He has never been caressed, he had never been loose. He’s about 10 years old now, but looks so much older. He spent the last few months in the prote hospital, but now he’s back in a yard, where he’s stressed, and he’s almost deaf and almost blind, so he’s not handled well at all… He’s a very sweet but special hound.

    Will you be his family?
