May 2010 saw a group of English volunteers descend upon the Scooby shelter to volunteer in Mediterranean temperatures. Thankfully we were fortunate to have some guys in the group who started to build the much needed brick shelters to replace the old “wooden dog houses”. These will provide shelter from the elements and shade from the sun for the dogs. They almost finished two “back to back” buildings and dug the footings for the next two kennels. The girls didn’t take the light duties either. They were doing heavy duty poop scooping, cleaning and strimming the grass to keep the seed down to protect the dogs. In between these jobs, the ladies were feeding the dogs and administering tick and flea treatment along with copious amounts of tender loving care. We were also pleased to learn that Scooby held a fund-raising stall at a youth festival in Cuellar over the same weekend and raised a total of €500. This is fantastic because it means that Scooby had the opportunity to target the right audience in terms of education and its attempts to bring about a change of attitude towards animal welfare in Spain. Even more surprising is that locals were donating money for animals. This was unheard of when we started visiting Scooby more than 10 years ago. Luckily the food crisis at Scooby has subsided for the time being. While Scooby has enough dog food for the next 4 months, we need to keep the momentum behind the appeal for food donations. We hope that spreading the word and pictures …
