  • Podenco x Frank needs veterinary care – please donate

    Tina Frank 250 06 2011 As with many small refuges, Galgos del Sol struggles for funding to pay for veterinary care and feed for their galgos and podencos. This is one of them, Frank, a podenco x found running up a motorway, starving and frightened. He is approx 1yrs old and fully vaccined and castrated. At present he is too thin. His bloods are negative for leishmania, erlichia and filaria. Frank has a serious food allergy which causes extreme diarrhoea, his pancreas has tested ok and he needs a special food diet. He’s now been taken into the vet clinic for further tests, including an endoscopy.

    This is going to cost 500 euros, a lot of money, if you can donate towards the cost of Frank’s vet fees, you will make a big difference to the life of this young dog. At present we are working with a vet to find a diet that suits him.

    TARA Mogan Vitola May 2011 250 Brian Baptist is a volunteer with TARA, an animal rescue shelter in the beautiful port of Mogan on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. He’s passionate about the podencos on the island and the hard life they have. Here’s what he writes.

    ‘Canario Podencos are a breed of canine that evolved from goddesses and gods of Egyptian folklore. If any canine is god-like, it must certainly be the Podenco. They are beautiful beyond belief – ethereal in presence and physicality. Despite their reputation as a hunting dogs, they are in truth just about the best family pet for whom a human could hope.
