Cordoba, Seville & Jaen – podenco puppies need places….
Two podenco puppies urgently needing places to go – preferably not kennels.
This young podenco living rough on the streets of Cordoba. Refuges are still full to overflowing. a volunteer has been feeding this little chap, but he is very fearful. He is very skinny, very young, weighs only about 5 kilos. He is in danger now of being trapped by hunters or gypsies for use for hunting again. Please has anyone room to take him, to save him before it is too late. Contact mujerpetirroja@gmail.com
I hope someone can take him, he’s so tiny, smaller than my little Bebe

Badly injured podenca mama needs help
Please can any association take this little podenca mama and help repair her leg? It’s obviously been badly broken and has healed at such an angle that she cannot use it and she is in pain. She needs an operation and then adoption, her pups are already reserved. Contact aranchavarea@gmail.com

Podenco saved from a ravine in Murcia – Galgos del Sol to the rescue
A year or so back I published a story about a galgo rescued from a ravine by Baas Galgo. This time it’s a podenco stuck down a deep ravine, rescued by Galgos del Sol with the help of a local fireman. Judging from the skeletal condition of the poor hound, he’d been down there a while. Sometimes the dogs fall down these ravines when hunting, but at this time of year…no hunting…looks like his journey there was a different story. Now he’s safe, very tired, recovering with GdS. The fireman named him Moses. Here are the photos of his rescue.

A Word of Warning – follow-up discussion
My article ‘A Word of Warning’ was posted on my Help the Podencos Facebook page, as well as here on Podenco Post. It provoked a lot of discussion and experienced podenco owners and rehoming associations shared their considerable knowledge of the breed. Here is a precis of the most important comments.

Cadiz podenca needs operation and a home
Look at this pretty little podenco running loose on the streets near Cadiz with a hernia the size of a tennis ball between her back legs! Here is the plea.
‘Fiona, gathered from the street with a herniated belly, help needed for an operation and then adoption! The vet bill is 220 euros and the invoice will soon go up on the blog, link below.
Fiona is a beautiful Podenquita, very affectionate, friendly and sociable with other dogs. She came full of ticks and with a terrible fear. Little by little in a home she will recover from her trauma.

From Cobie at Scooby Medina Valladolid. A lot of Spanish perreras close in August for holidays. Normal would be that they stay open and personnel take turns in going on holiday, if you´d ask me. Not here, they all go in August and the dogs which are there the 31th. of July will all be euthanised!!! Better believe it because it´s true!! Yet another part of Spain's shame…..

Street life in Seville, accommodation needed
We’re used to pix of bitches with pups on the street in Seville, but not such little puppies, all on their own. 3 x podencos, left in a porch by the street; 2 males and a female. Terrified, of course.
They were collected by a volunteer two weeks ago and she is desperately trying to find foster homes for them. They have a bit more confidence but need more individual work. They need somewhere very enclosed as, still being nervous, they run and hid when startled.

SOS Animals – Podencos for adoption – all of them survivors from Spain
Here are some beautiful podencos with SOS Animals UK & Spain, desperately hoping they will catch your eye and your heart, forever. They are all young, ready to be trained, with full EU passports and bloodtested. Monica is an especially unusual girl, as the Podenco Orito is not a well known type of podenco, unlike the popular Podenco Ibizan and Podenco Andaluz. Guadiamar and Bembezar are brother and sister and have very unusual markings. Gemma came from Operation Rehala where 120 galgos and podencos were saved in January/February. All these super hounds have a survival story to tell. You can see more about them on the SOS Animals website.
