  • Jaen, Spain – a hellhole for these podencos

    Horrible what they’ve lived through, tied with short chains, all full of poop, a horrible smell and them, six bitches and a puppy, with ticks and fleas. Seprona has acted and we with little space and little means, we could not say NO and we have taken over. Two of them have a chip in the name of the person who had them and of course, he has handed them over, the others are without a chip.

    Update 04-01 Three protectors take over all  of them. We are so grateful that our message of help has been heard.. THANK YOU!! and to all of you who spread them.
