May 1st is the International Day of the Podenco, a day to raise awareness and bring to the worlds attention this much forgotten breed. They are not called “Los Grandes Olvidados for nothing and we call on the Podenco community around the world to support this day.

What is a Podenco?
Natural remedies are readily available these days, so we can treat medical problems in our pets without putting profit into the pockets of the pharmaceuticals.
Three I have used for my dogs are Devil’s Claw, Turmeric and Hemp Oil. As my dogs aged, I gave them a daily dose of Turmeric, which is also recommended for humans with arthritis too. One particular galgo had arthritis set in a serious hind knee joint which he had damaged as a puppy and which vets did not recomment operating on, as there was no guarantee of improvement. To help ease the pain I used Hemp Oil, or CBD oil as it is sold as. Vets very often prescribe Medicam but a side effect of this is liver damage. A small daily dose of CBD oil had the desired effect as he never showed any signs of discomfort. (more…)

Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human. Many suffer from separation anxiety. We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.
So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.
Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com

The story of Hannah, a Podencian puppy, is so frightening that it’s hard to believe she had a favorable outcome. The little dog was found badly injured and on the verge of death inside a bag in a garbage container in the neighborhood of Atogo, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, in the south of Tenerife.
The case has already been reported to the Civil Guard and is in the hands of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA), which has opened an investigation to try to identify the author of the events, as explains to @planeta_canario the manager of the Noah’s Ark Protective Association, Beautiful Gallinat.
