Not all lumps and skin lesions on your dog are cancerous. Unfortunately the ones on our blind podenco were and he now has inoperable stomach cancer. So we are just making the most of the time we have left with him before we have to make the ultimate decision.
Read this article on the subject.
We are lucky in that we have never owned an aggressive dog. However, we have owned three who have been the victims of dog attacks. 2 of my galgos, Carmela and Bracken were both victims of the same dog – but at different times – when we lived in France. Luckily neither of them were seriously injured but it certainly scared the life out of us! Our blind podenco Bo bears the scars and marks from being attacked, over his face and pieces missing from his ears. As he spent his first years on the end of a chain it’s not hard to guess when the attack(s) happened.
This PDSA article discusses the subject of dog attacks.
Podenco Capitain was abandoned at just one year old, he was found one rainy night in a village in Granada. He’s a precious pod and loves to socialize with both people and other dogs. Captain can travel, distance is not a problem. As you can see, he’s a beauty.
Do you want to give him a home, do you want him to be your friend and your faithful companion? You just have to call:

The origin of Galgos Rescue Almería
What started as an idea to open a dog boarding kennel on a piece of land in Cuevas del Almanzora, grew into a safe haven for the most vulnerable souls.
The idea of a dog boarding kennel soon took a completely different turn, one that would change the lives of many dogs.
On August 13, 2017, an urgent request came in: whether we could help with a heavily pregnant galgo. Of course, we said yes.
Among so many sadness and adversity we have not updated Felipe’s condition, so we have named the podenquito that we rescued last week when we were coming back from the kennel.
Well, after being admitted to the hospital of Puente Genil, Cordoba, and advising us that his paw should be amputated, we decided to ask for advice from our colleagues from Galgos 112, because they unfortunately have very complicated cases and we know that they are also the best veterinarians.
Esther, who is wonderful, helped us get some of the money for Felipe’s expenses.. And we have moved Felipe to one of the clinics at Galgos 112 for a second evaluation.
We are very grateful to the Hospital of Puente Genil as they have taken care of Felipe wonderfully, and we also thank the Aimar Clinic for having welcomed him so lovingly as you can see video“>in the video.
Felipe is still stable. He eats very well. The wound looks very good but it still has no deep sensitivity or flexor reflex.
He is being treated with fluid therapy, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics.
Thanks to, among others, Galgos 112 Ofcial, how wonderful they are.

This petition is demanding the setting up of an independent regulatory authority to curb the diabolical vet fees in the UK. You need a UK postcode to sign and share.
Last year the Competition and Markets Authority undertook a look at vet clinics not being upfront about charges etc. This weblink give extensive details of their report, last March. Not that it will do anything to stop vets selling out to speculative companies which demand their share of vet charges.
Tripod dogs are amazing, Having 3 legs doesn’t have to be a handicap.
Introducing tripod Podenco Campanero ODDIE who was rescued almost 2 years ago by Happy Footprints Association with a shot in his elbow that left him totally devastated.. tried with medication to cure him, but there was no way, and there was a high risk of endangering his health, so there was no choice but to amputate his leg.
He says ‘I don’t mind having 3 legs at all, because I live a totally normal life, but it seems… because of this no one wants to adopt me. I am a beautiful podenquito campanero, 7 years old, medium size, I am not very big, I am totally healthy and although at first I am a little scared of the unknown, as soon as I take confidence I am a charmer!! I just want to get the chance to know what it feels like to have a family to care for me and love me forever.’
Reach out at asociacionhuellasfelices@gmail.com and they’ll tell you all you need to know about me. I’m in Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo (Cordoba) but I can travel to your home if you want to give me the family I need.
In nearly 80 years of having dogs as pets – as well as horses and cats – apart from one occasion the time has come in their lives for us to make the ultimate decision. Apart from young dog Shandy who got on the scent of a bitch on heat, crossed a road, was hit and killed – all our animals have lived long and happy lives, much loved. Sometimes the ultimate decision has been taken out of our hands – our old border collie got dementia, Molly the greyhound got collapsed lungs at 14 years old, galga Carmela had a stroke and a brain haemorrage, Ben a lab x, galgos Sahara, Polar and Bracken developed inoperable cancers – see photo above – podenca Bebe died at 17 of old age).
Introducing Candy, a stunning freckled Podenca with Maz’s Canine Rescue.
Hi there… I’m Candy. I’m a two-year-old Spanish Podenco with a heart full of hope and the softest little paws you ever did see. I live at MAZ’s Canine Rescue in Tijola, where I was rescued and given a second chance. Life here is safe and kind — I have doggy friends to play with, good food, and gentle people who care for me. But still… every night, I curl up and dream of a forever home.
I’m a bit shy when we first meet — I like to take my time and figure out the world at my own pace. But once I feel safe, I’ll show you my playful side. I’m really good with other dogs (I love a good game of chase!), and I’m learning all about this walking-on-a-lead thing. It’s still a bit new to me, but I’m trying so hard and getting braver every day.
