    I have a 5month podenco who I’m desperate to rehome. He was abandoned near our home at 8weeks and I havnt been able to rehome him. I’m desperate because I start work on the 20th and will be away from home for long hours. He’s a beautiful dog and would make a wonderful family member, due to lifestyle I couldn’t consider a dog long term. He’s vaccinated, micro chipped and very healthy. Can you please help me. I’ve run out of time. Thank you

    I’ve asked around and had no luck. I live in Albox and can drive him to you if that helps? I’ve got
    He’s 5months old. His name’s Choco. I’ve got photos, he’s a beautiful dog. Great with kids, great with other dogs. Very wary of new people but is not aggressive at all and soon warms up.
    What do you need? I have his passport too.

  • 4 puppies abandoned in the campo – urgent Foster in Malaga needed

    Malaga pups 4 400
    Hard to imagine what happened that these 4 tinies were abandoned but luckily they were spotted and taken into the care of a rescue association. Here’s their story.

    TLF: 722405984 (Spain 0034)

    CHOCOLATE
    STRAWBERRY
    NATA
    VAINILLA

    These 3-and-a-half-month-old puppies were alone in the field when some wonderful girls on holiday found them. They asked for help because they couldn’t catch them since they had rescued another rescued just days before.

    Thank you to a person in the area who took all 4 of them in their home and washed them, care and taken to the vet they are now safe. This person can’t have them many days, max until next Tuesday, he already has more animals and does everything he can for them and more.

    The good news is that we have an association that takes over in managing their adoption, but for them it is necessary to foster Malaga or surroundings.

    We we need help.. this is a chain of favors and if you break the link you break the chain. The girls have no shelter and only thanks to your help can we keep helping.

  • Akira Dog Sanctuary – Podenco Playdate

    From Akira.

    We like to make sure the dogs who crave company have friends and someone to play with. Those who are nervous can mix with dogs who brim with confidence to help them feel happier and more confident too. Sometimes we all need a role model. So yesterday a new friendship group was formed. Logan has been missing his kennels mates Millie who is now adopted and Whoopi who is recovering from her sterlisation in a foster home.

    We decided to introduce Logan, Iris and Kiki. Iris despite being nervous around human men is a queen bee amonga all other dogs and loves their company and they always love her. Kiki is shy and nervous but loves Iris and follows her lead and being with Logan who is super confident with all people could really boost her confidence. Logan loves a lap and a cuddle and a kiss or too.
    It was a success Logan investigated Kiki but gave her some space she eventually walked around investigated her environment enjoying some time away from the kennel. Iris found her match with a playmate her and Logan bounced and bounded for a long while it was love at first sight.
