    We’re writing to you today at a particularly worrying time. Given the adverse weather forecast for Andalusia, we at PACMA have had to do what no other political force is doing: demand the activation of an emergency plan that includes animals.

    While the authorities are preparing (and rightly so) to protect people and infrastructure, animals remain absent from official protocols.

    Pronto is a 9 year old black Podenco x languishing in the SARA shelter on Lanzarote.  Lola in the middle above is 12 years old. It’s a very hard life for hunting dogs in the Canary Islands and their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe.  They are 2 of a dozen beautiful podencos who are the ‘invisible’ ones on Lanzarote, most only 2 or 3 years old.  Don’t let them spend all their lives in a shelter..  Click down this weblink to see them all.  Pictures below.

    f you would like to know more about Pronto or any of the other podencos, contact SARA Protectora direct,  please call the telephone number: +34 928 173 417 from 10:30 to 13:00. Thank you.
