  • TREASON BY THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT – STILL no protection for Spanish hunting dogs.

    From Protectora y Santuario Scooby

    TREASON of @msocialgob        @pablobustinduy        @joserrabecerra_        @animalesgob to the dogs “hunting” and “working” and the whole animalist movement.

    Although the DGDDAA removed the phrase excluding animals included in the agricultural RD, it has used another formula to leave these dogs out, trying to deceive us all.

    ❌ The DGDDAA’s NNZZ Pet Animal RD project taken to public hearing and information excludes groups of 15 or less animals, i.e. the majority of hunters from its scope.
    ❌ At the same time @gobmapa brings to public his project RD of NNZZ “Traditional” in which it includes:

  • URGENT APPEAL for scalibor collars

    Animal lovers the summer months are approaching and it’s very important to protect dogs from the sandfly that causes Leishmaniosis. Every year, unfortunately, too many dogs adopted from Spain die abroad due to ignorance, poor information, wrong diagnosis, not the right treatment… So preventing infection with the Leishmania parasite is very important. Contrary to what is often said, Leishmaniosis cannot be cured, in other words your dog will have it for the rest of his or her life. Fortunately, with proper treatment and medication, the infection can be kept under control. Regular blood tests are also recommended, that way your four-legged friend can also grow old like other dogs. We protect dogs during and before the summer months with a collar combined with a pippet. A vaccination is also possible, it’s quite expensive and studies have currently not been able to show whether this vaccination gives sufficient security. (more…)

  • Hope for Podencos – podencos in foster in the UK looking for their forever homes

    Hope for Podencos have several stunning podencos in foster in the UK who are hoping for their own forever home.  They range in age from 6 years old to 1 year old and on this weblink you can read all about them and learn more about their characters.

    A special one is Jimbo who is blind.  We adopted a blind podenco and he was amazing at using his nose and ears to find his way around both the home and outside world.  Never off lead outside of the garden or the dog park and used a ramp to get in the car to go for long walks.  Click on the weblink to see more pix of him and more about his character.

    If you can offer a forever home to one of these beauties, please contact Hope for Podencos direct.  There is an adoption application form link on the article.

  • Traumatised Podenco Andi needs a special home

    Regular readers will know the story of Podenco Pepe and his rehabilitation with Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.  This is his brother Andi who also needs a special experienced understanding home.

    We are desperately searching for a long-term foster home for Andi who is with Friends of Aprop in the Valencia region, Spain.
    Please share , let’s make him visible to as many people as possible.

    Just like Pepe, Andi is very anxious and fearful of people. The rescue has been working with a behaviourist, and he is now allowing gentle touch, which is a huge step forward. But sensitive, troubled dogs like these two boys will never truly thrive in a busy rescue environment.
    They need calm.       They need quiet.      They need one person willing to give patient, one-to-one support. (more…)
