Has anyone room in their heart and home for this little sweetie?
Hello, I’m writing to you about my little rescued podenco girl Sunday. She desperately needs a forever home. She was found on the street in May 2015 and has been staying with me since. I have taken care of all her vaccines and deparasiting + chipping, disease tests clean. Her sterilization is pending. She is currently with me in Fuengirola / Spain.
I have been contacting every organisation and private person I know for months but so far nothing. Please let me know if you can help with her case somehow else. Best, Ani Roschier.
Hundreds of thousands of people flock to the Canary Islands on holiday, whether for summer sun or to escape the cold winters of the UK and Europe. They don’t come into contact with ‘real’ life on the Islands, especially the nightmare for the 85,000+ podencos incarcerated there. Here’s the true reality…Perrera Mogan! Please share.
I have a facebook page for podencos in perreras – so far since 1st August there are at 21 podencos posted there…and that is just the tip of the icebert! Most of them will be killed. Such a waste of precious life. What wouldn’t I like to do to the hunters!!

This is an appeal from Carolina Climent, in Badajoz, which is a very bad place for hunting dogs. Here’s her appeal.
‘I have at home a little family looking for good homes. All of them are looking for their families for ever. I rescued the Podenca Mom as she was abandoned in my village. Chiquita had just given birth under a rock, they are the mother and 4 pups, 3 males, 1 female.
Chiquita is a podenco and the pups mix of Breton and Podenco. The pups are 1 month and 14 days now and I need your help to spread the word to find them a place to be. I have been looking after them all this time and they are ready to go. I would travel a fair distance in order to introduce one of them to the adopter.
We are in Badajoz, in a village close to Mérida. Please do not hesitate to contact me for details. Thank you very much.’
If you recognise any of these symptoms in your dog, please take it to the vet to be tested for leishmania. I always recommend that, even if your Spanish hound has tested negative for the disease, you should have it retested every year.
Information from a reader who lives in Switzerland, about the regulations for owning and keeping a dog.
In Switzerland: Dog owners have to pay a yearly fee for each dog, depending on weight. In addition he must attend a dog school to learn handle his dog, and do that with each dog he owns. This is all registered at the City hall (ayuntamiento).
This could be a way towards a solution everywhere in the future.
There’s room in the trashbin … from whence this little soul was rescued! News from Little Pod Asssociation in Murcia. Just a tiny baby podenca girl, 50 days old and thrown in a bin like trash!!! She sustained some horrific injuries and her front leg has already been amputated. She has been named Sara. She is now safe with LPA and already has offers of a forever home, when she is recovered enough.
