Training a Podenco
Podencos come in many shapes and sizes, from the little Podenco Erbano and Maneto to the big Podenco Campanero, with several different types in between!
But they all have one thing in common, a real zest for life, no matter what hardships they have suffered in their previous life before rescue.
Jane Jones has recently adopted one, and she would like to share her experience of training a podenco.

This is an urgent appeal to the good people, for people who are characterized by being the voice of these poor animals, the forgotten, the abused… This hound has suffered in her life and is now struggling to bring up 8 puppies.

Urgent foster/adopting home needed for Podenco Ibicenco Zorro
I received this appeal for help recently from a lady in southern Spain, who is quite ill and in poor living conditions. She rescued this stunning Podenco Ibicenco, she’s name him Zorro.
She says ‘I have “tamed” a young podenco who was abandoned on this campsite. He was here when I arrived at the end of August and I had no intention of catching him, as I had nowhere to live. The campsite people were chasing him all the time and were going to take him to the perrera. He was thin, frightened and young; I thought I’d be able to find him a home. I didn’t realise he’d get so attached to me or that it would be so difficult to find him a home.

Sinking in Seville – save the hounds from the galgueros
Immaculada – also known as Inma and Macu – of Seville does incredible work rescuing animals off the street and from a settlement of galgueros nearby. She deals with the vet, paying kennel fees, appeals to associations to help foster and rehome these hounds. Many of them I have featured on PP – including big hairy Podenco Campanero Chaplin, now happily rehomed in the UK with the help of SOS Animals. She’s currently got 9 podencos and 1 galgo, to name just 10!
Macu has sent this appeal. ‘It is very bad here, I have many animals that depend on me and to make matters worse I have no computer, I thought it was the hotmail account, and changed it to g.mail and even so, it is the computer…so I’m at my brother’s house using his computer, but I cannot connect and answer as fast as before.
Here I send you a link of a blog, so you can see all the animals that I have in my charge.
