From Diane at Scooby:

Dear Friends,

We are reaching out to at a very critical time at our shelter. The dogs desperately need our help at this time. We are very close to disastrous food crisis for the dogs.

The dogs at Scooby are fed a diet of raw chicken, ground up and mixed with bread and also dry dog food on days when we don’t have chicken. We get the chicken for free but there is now a new law that is being passed in Spain that all chicken carcasses must be destroyed and cannot be used by anyone. This is a huge waste and also a very big problem for Scooby, because this was our source of free food at the shelter since the beginning.

As you can imagine, feeding over 300 dogs on a daily basis is a lot food. There is no possible way that we can afford to purchase dog food for this many animals.

We are working on putting a news update on our website asking for donations to buy food so we can feed the dogs that are currently at the shelter. Of course donations of dog food are accepted as well.

Sadly, the reality is, if we cannot feed the animals, we can’t operate, and if we can’t operate, we cannot continue to do the work that we have been doing.

Even worse, we will have euthanize dogs that have simply no chance for adoption as we won’t be able to afford to maintain such large numbers at the shelter.

If you have room in your shelters, foster homes, your homes, please look at our adoption pages. The more dogs that we can get adopted and out of the shelter, the better.

Your support, no matter how big or small can literally save a life in this situation. We are looking into several options to this situation to see if we purchase the carcasses for a discounted price and other alternatives. But as you know, these things take time and at this moment, we don’t have time. The dogs need to eat. We need you. Please help us during this difficult time.



Thank you.

The Scooby Team
