  • Malaga podenca – abandoned, babies stolen – please help with vet fees

    Angela van 250 25 07 herewith the story of this little podenca, now safe with 112carlottagalgosa. Chael tells the story.

    ‘Yesterday while at the vets, we were about to leave when approached by a lady Susannah and her husband. For they had rescued an abandoned podenca, victim yet again of which owner or powers that be take responsibility. The norm in Spain, a daily occurrance and the hunting season again, getting closer. Each year I cannot believe it’s one year more with such destruction!

  • Podenca Canario Dexie – safe in Mogan, Gran Canario, thanks to TARA

    Mogan%20Dexie 250  july 2011 Here is a Happy Tail to beautifully highlight the wonderful work of Sylvia and Eva at The Best Little Dog Shelter in Paradise (Mogan Pound):

    Dexie is a 4-5 month old Spirit of Gran Canaria (Podenco Canario) that got the old dumpskee because she is broken – a busted leg. No good for hunting rabbits, therefore off with her head!

    Sylvia stepped in with a mighty, “Not on my watch, boys!” Dr. Javier Castellano Vergara, Guancha God of Dumped Dogs, offered to do all the doctoring at cost.

  • Galgos del Sol podencos waiting for forever families

    Sandy with Floyd  190 Tina July 2011 Podencos come in various sizes – read about the different types on Podenco Post – and coat colours – chestnut, chestnut and white, smooth haired, rough haired. But whatever size and coat type, they are all fabulous hounds who suffer at the hands of the hunters, just as the galgos do.

    Podencos are more active dogs, many with training will make agility dogs – a Spanish association on Ibiza uses them as PAT dogs (Pets as Therapy) visiting hospitals, homes for handicapped…..

    Here are just two lovely one looking for forever homes
