    Transport April 2, 2012 – GRIN has facilitated the transport of these four lucky doggies..I say doggies as they are a combination of a Galgo and Podencos. Our volunteer, Marylou Hecht from New Hampshire, will be our flight patron for this trip as well as bringing back her boy Nando from Ibizen Hound Rescue who GRIN has the pleasure of working with for first time.

  • Podenca Andaluz Bebe – a hard day playing on the beach!

    Bebe asleep 190A couple of weeks ago we took our latest foster galgo to the UK to his forever home. After 15 months with foster dogs, we are back to our own 4 permanent residents. So we decided to take them to the beach at the weekend. Les Conches is on the west coast of France, just above the port of La Rochelle. There is little habitation and miles and miles of sandy beach. It was a glorious day, wall-to-wall blue skies and the dogs loved it. The galgas ran free for the first time, although we didn’t risk letting little Podenca Andaluz Bebe off the long lead. But she paddled and jumped waves and enjoyed herself just as much as the others.

    As Bebe is such a little bundle of energy (she is a miniature Podenca Andaluz), it’s not very often that she is completely tired out – but a day at the beach proved more than enough – as you can see from the photo of her fast asleep on the sofa next to me!

  • Beat the sandfly! New treatment for Leishmania – donate

    Leishmania is the third most important canine disease worldwide, caused by a sandfly. It bites an infected dog, then passes on the disease by biting another dog. It is diagnosed by blood test and, if caught soon enough, can be treated. Untreated, the dog will die. The disease is preventable by the use of a Scalibor collar (similar to a flea collar) but unfortunately these are expensive. Now there is a new cheaper alternative.

    Sighthound Welfare Trust have launched this appeal on behalf of Baas Galgo.

  • Scooby Auction 15th May – Donations urgently needed

    Scooby appeal banner 200 Dear friends,

    It is hard to believe that this year will be our 3rd Scooby North America Auction. Actually, we are having 2 auctions this year. One in June and another in December. In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.

    This year we are hoping that with your generosity we can build a much needed puppy house. The puppy house will be fully insulated, including the floor. There will be whelping boxes for mom and her pups and a doggy door for the mothers to use the outside areas before the puppies are ready. There will also be room for them to play and romp around and of course beds for them to sleep without always having to be under foot.
