  • Podenca Princessa hoping for a forever home in her twilight years

    No photo description available.

    Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.

    This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
    At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…)

    How can this little Podenco puppy be ignored, no one has asked for him. A shelter is no place for a puppy.  He’s 5 kilos, aged 8 months, is very loving.  He is in Huelva (Andalucia), but can travel in Spain.

  • Sign and Share the petition to reform the Spanish Penal Code

    ‘we are asking you to support this citizen initiative led by lawyer Xavi Abat, which calls for an urgent reform of the Penal Code. The goal is to ensure that the most severe cases of animal abuse result in actual prison sentences and other measures that permanently prevent abusers from ever owning animals again.’

  • Can dogs have a chicken allergy?

    Chicken is usually recommended, along with rice, as a good for dogs especially recovering after illness.  When I visited a shelter in Spain some years ago, raw chicken carcases were delivered from a chicken processing factory as food for the rescue dogs.  I regularly feed minced cooked chicken to my dogs without a problem.

    However, dogs can have allergies to certain foods just like humans.  so can they have a chicken allergy?

  • Hope for Podencos – Podenco Deejay hoping for a forever home

    From Hope For Podencos

    Deejay is every bit as striking as he is sweet. A graceful Podenco Ibicenco with movie star looks, he trots around like a show pony and has completely stolen the hearts of everyone who’s met him.  Rescued after being found stray, Deejay has shown us what a lovely, balanced young lad he is. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he knows you, his affectionate nature shines through and he’ll make a wonderfully loyal companion.  He’s fantastic with other dogs and absolutely loves to play.

  • Does your dog talk to you?

    Some dogs are more vocal than others.  I’m not talking about barking, whether it be as an alarm because someone is at the door, orbarking in play.  I’m talking about your dog talking to you.  My Podenco Rosie loves carrying one of her toys in her mouth, especially when I’ve been out and return home.  She nakes a lovely soft growly noise, tail wagging furiosly, for anything up to 2 or 3 minutes.  I love it, and of course talk back to her!

  • Every Podenco deserves to be seen, loved and valued

    From Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.

    It is so important that people hear about the struggles we face in rescue with the Podencos. Blanca’s tragic loss was devastating, but I hope her life was not in vain. Her legacy lives on in every Podenco we have gone on to rescue since.

    The perrera where Blanca came from is located deep in the countryside of the Valencia region, where many hunters keep Podencos. For many years, unwanted dogs have been handed in there when they are no longer considered useful. (more…)
