The Eye of the Devil?
A beautiful, sometimes sad, heart-warming story of podenco adoption from Hennie.
‘Actually it’s the eye of Denzel, my ‘beloved’ dog.
He can frighten people very much and half the population of our village walks on the other side of the street when they see Denzel coming. A lot of them ends with their face on the street when they pass by with their bicycle. They blame me for it but after years of hard working, on a friendly and sometimes a little less friendly way, Denzel doesn’t change.
He was found as a puppy in Spain dumped in a dust container together with his brother.

Carina, a podenca with Podenco Friends, Murcia – adopt Carina
When I was with Bev and Warren of Podenco Friends last September 2013, although I loved all the podencos, Carina won a special place in my heart. I really wanted to bring her home to me forever, but with 4 galgos and a very bossy little podenca, I really couldn’t afford to take on another dog – vet fees, feed, tick treatment …you know how it goes, especially on small pensions.
so let me introduce you to the absolutely adorable Carina, a beautiful video. There must be someone who has a place in their home and heart for this gorgeous podenca. Contact Bev if you can help Carina.

Meet The Motril Posse podenco pups – some of the lucky ones
The Motril Posse of podencos! From Irene Allen in Spain.
This video was made possible by Xari Shepherd….who highlighted the plight of these Podenco pups in Motril… only 4 of the original 6 pups could be caught and rescued… the mother and two other pups like many Podencos in Spain have little or no chance of experiencing the Motril Posses’ future of living in a loving home environment… Beverley Podencos introduced us to our first Podenco called Inca …..and we found out at first hand how amazing this breed can be in a home environment.
Nando ..Ruari…Ayita .. Romeo are now safe .Please spread the word of the Plight of the Podencos here in Spain…Have a look and smile at the innocent
