The hunting season is almost finished, and shelters quickly
become full of
galgos. And when a galgo enters a Spanish shelter,
he has a very small chance to get out
again.
Fortunately many people, Spanish and from abroad,
strongly try to give them the
possibility, not only to come out, but to finally have
a life.
A big machinery of hope.
We have received many requests for help and, as usual,
we are ready to go.
That's why we left Scooby very very early on Friday
morning, direction
Ciudad
Real, to pick up about 30 galgos.
When we arrived, as welcome, we found a galgo at the
door, very
skinny and exhausted. The volunteer told us that he
was abandoned during
the night at the entrance of the refuge. So, 31
galgos.
Luckily we have taken with us all the possible cages,
to be able to pick up
the largest possible number of dogs, and at the end we
came back to Scooby
with a precious cargo of 34 lives.
For us, seeing the galgos running and playing and
smiling, has been the biggest reward.
But why stop us?
The day after, Saturday, we wake up again early, well,
to be honest not so
early like the day before, direction Merida.
We had to pick up 15 galgos, but luckily we came back
home with 20.
One of them has been found right the day before by a
volunteer working in the perrera, still bleeding.
They cut out the chip from the neck and left him on
the road like trash. These persons are
the shame of Spain,
and the shame of the human race.
But we won for this time and again on the way back to
Scooby, full of
satisfaction and joy.
We want to share our emotions with you, with these
images, 54 new lifes at Scooby.
Please help us to close the circle and find them a
final home and the
future that they
deserve.
Simonetta
