Mission Statement Our 501c3 was formed to provide medical assistance to the Spanish galgo refuge named Scooby in Medina del Campo. Our goal is to provide at least one medical team each year to travel to Spain and provide surgical services to galgos at the close of the hunting season. Teams consist of veterinarians and technicians willing to donate their time for 7-10 days. Our hope is to provide financial assistance, especially to the technicians, as needed and as is available. |

trip to Scooby! The newest team to go to Scooby has returned home with incredible memories, 2 galgos, and the satisfaction of having helped many more galgos start the trip from Spain to their final home. |

How you can help
|
This gentle sight hound is very similar in appearance to the greyhound. Bred for centuries as a hunting and coursing dog, the galgo
usually survives just a year or two before being killed or discarded by its
owner. Recent efforts to promote adoption outside of Spain has allowed
some of these exceptional hounds to begin new and safe life as a loved pet.
km northwest of Madrid in Medina del Campo. Scooby's
director, Fermín Pérez, and his dedicated staff work long hours to provide
the lucky galgos who arrive there with a safe haven until they can be placed
in permanent homes.
