    Bev Carley 400 19 5 2019
    I recently published about Podenca Carley who adopted abandoned galgo pup PJ and the 2 were rescued together and are safe with Podenco Friends. PJ has serious health problems, Carley is improving and getting ready for an op to remove a tumour. Bev Farmer reports.

    ‘Carley .. a review at our vets she no longer has anemia so now the surgery she needs to remove the mammary tumours can proceed.

    She must be feeling much better this morning came racing out and a round of zoomies the first time Ive seen her do it so good to see her enjoying herself. Here she is relaxing in the sunshine.’

  • URGENT, URGENT – Granada podencos need safe place

    Hatice podenco 2 both 400
    Granada. two poor podencos, mother and daughter, abandoned in the street. Starving and covered in parasites. Some local girls rescued them and left them in an enclosed field while they find a Shelter or a Rescue that can take them but they keep escaping and end up on the road where they are at great risk.

    They are begging for a foster home while they have them spayed and look for a family for them.

    Bev Farmer tells the stories of galgo pup PJ and Podenca Carley, both safe and receiving vet care with Podenco Friends and their amazing vet. Carley has been a Mom to PJ, as you can see from this photo. If you want to help them both, with vet fees, email Podenco Friends.

    ‘PJ is a very young galgo pup found in dreadful state, he has gained a kilo, not that you would know as he still is terribly thin. Had got him eating and he seemed a little brighter but I got this feeling things are not just right. So I took him to the vet and just said to Ramon our vet ‘I’m not sure what is the problem with PJ. So we did a bank of blood tests. What a shocker,, this pup has liver failure I have never such a high count. Plus he is very anemic

    So there a few reasons why –

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    Lucan (one of Astis pups) is the the first Podenco Ibicenco to gain flyball points in the UK with his team DogStar Juntos Podemos and he is doing brilliant although he does occasionally he decides to go run and say hello to the spectators.

    He also made history again, becoming the first Podenco ever to race in a multi-breed competition in the UK (when every dog racing had to be a different breed). Congratulations to Julie Huggins and Zoe who competes with him. You never know we may have another one of our rescues completing at Crufts. Dogstar Flyball team came third in the final this year so he is in good company. Another one of our rescues flying the flag for the Podencos and showing the world just how special they are.

    Little Mhysa was found on the street with her two babies… She must have been so afraid trying to protect them. The babies are already rehomed. She is still with us, shy but gaining confidence. Very gentle. Good with other dogs.
