Scooby rescues 80 galgos in Sevilla

Back in November 2007, Scooby received news that there were 200 dogs in need in a small town in Sevilla, called El Cuervo.  You can read about this rescue mission on the Scooby news page under November 2007 - "200 dogs found in awful situation in El Cuervo, Sevilla".   

Fast forward to December 2008. Scooby heard that Antonio had been forced to shut down his "shelter", so Scooby has been waiting for the green light to go and rescue these animals. Thanks to the last few transports, Scooby has  made some room at the shelter to accommodate 80 galgos and 40 mix dogs. Last week, Scooby got the green light they were waiting for! 

On January 20, Scooby made the trip to Sevilla to get the first load of dogs.  They will probably have to make 2 or 3 more trips to get all the dogs back to Scooby.  The dogs are in horrible condition. All of them are infected with mange and there are also many pregnant females.  Scooby engaged a vet on a full time basis from last week and his first job is to examine each dog thoroughly.

Scooby needs your help. They cannot do this without you.  You can help Scooby by virtually adopting one of these beautiful dogs.  You can volunteer at the shelter and actually see how these dogs flourish and become healthy and alive again. And of course, you can donate to the Scooby cause.  Your donations help Scooby to buy medicine and food and provide medical care for these neglected animals.

Every donation, big or small makes a difference for these animals.
