  • 90 podencos of Mogan, Gran Canaria – one year on

    90 podencos Mogan 400 8 2016Do you remember this heartbreaking story? This is the latest update – you will be as heartbroken as me to read that no matter how hard the team try to get some action, they are no further forward.

    ‘These 90 podencos continue today (11-08-2016) in the same situation of abuse after three years after being condemned by a local protective. These images are repeated today in the new location after a metal plates under the sweltering heat because the owner responsible fled to another municipality in the month of December 2015. The matter is now in the hands of the examining court no. 1 of Telde after two and a half years of municipal bureaucracy.

    Sign the petition appealing for their release.

    Please sign and share. It’s a petition suggesting creating a Spanish national register of animal abuser. Maybe if it happens, then more people will be willing to make denuncias and more people will be prosecuted. Wouldn’t it be great if it could work on the galgueros!

  • Chiclana, Cadiz – little wounded podenca Camila needs help

    Podenca with leg wound 400 7 2016On the many journeys I have made into Spain on rescues, to bring galgos and podencos back to France for foster and homing, there have been several tripod podencos. These poor hounds often get onto land where illegal metal snares have been set. This is an example of what can happen, although it’s know know how this poor podenco ended up in such a state. But rest assured, she has been rescued and is in the vet clinic. Here’s the story.

    ‘She’s already rescued and has been named Camila after Santa Camila, the day of rescue and hopefully Santa Camila will protect her. She has been operated on and is recovering well with a good prognosis. She will stay for a few days in the veterinary clinic of Chiclana Avila Forner, Cadiz.
