  • Rare Paternino de Huelva podenco – after a lifetime of breeding – is looking for a forever home

    Podenco Paternino de Huelva

    Podenco Paternino de Huelva is usually black and white, particular to that region of Spain.

    Read all about her on this weblink.  Contact the Rescate association if you have room for her to have a comfy retirement.

    The Podenco Paternino de Huelva (also known as the paternero or perro de Paterna) originated in the municipality of Paterna del Campo in the province of Huelva, Andalucia.
     
    Key Characteristics
    • Origin: Developed in Paterna del Campo, Huelva, shaped by natural selection in tough Mediterranean brush and oak dehesas. [1, 2]

    • Purpose: Bred primarily as a tenacious, resilient hunting dog for small game (rabbits, hares) and packed hunting (rehala) for big game in dense, rugged terrain.

  • Azores dog rescue – Podenco Reuben needs a forever home

    May be an image of dog

    This is Reuben. He turned up in the kennel yard late one night, very thin but also very happy to have found me.  He had some issues with smaller dogs initially but he learned quickly to get on with them. (He was definitely a working hunter before)
    Reuben loves people! His tail wags and he smiles.
    After I was rushed to hospital, other rescues stepped in to take responsibility for the vast majority of my rescue dogs.  But Reuben has been in a vet clinic since March, he’s still registered as an ADR dog and the bill now stands at just over 600€.  I only just found out  that he’s still an ADR dog after giving away my last donation last week to another rescuer because I didn’t need it.
    Reuben is available for adoption.  He’s 6 years old and weighs around 18kg, he can’t be with cats and maybe not small dogs but he gets on well with other dogs his size (Willow’s pups used to sleep in his bed) and he’s great with children too.
    If you would like to help pay his clinic boarding costs (before he’s kicked out) you can make a donation through PayPal to azoresdogrescue@yahoo.com or by bank transfer to
    Azores Dog rescue
    IBAN PT50 0059 0011 2304 8800 01616

    If you are interested in adopting this sweet Podengo, please send a message. My heart breaks for him – stuck in a vet kennel for so many months on his own. I’m in the process of moving so I can’t take him.

    An increasing number of tourists are reaching out, deeply saddened and outraged by the instances of squalor and animal abuse found all over the island of S. Miguel, in the Azores, Portugal – Hello, I have just seen in Vila Franca do Campo very skinny dogs left out in the sun on a pickup truck. The guy doesn’t care about leaving them exposed to the sun. Who can I contact?¨

    – GPHG/Cat rescue in S. Miguel, Azores.

    Left forgotten in the sun—skeletal, blinded by hunger and thirst—in the back of an open-bed truck. They likely live chained up all year round.
    The extraordinary ancient podengos of S. Miguel, Azores, They could be an icon of these islands. And yet, this is how they ended up. They deserve so much better than this.

    Summer can be a difficult time for dogs as the ground gets hard, there are stubble field full of seeds; even walking along a grassy track a dog runs the risk of getting a seed in its paws.

    Not all problems require treatment by a vet.
