  • Hope for Podencos – Lucky needs foster or adoption for 22nd November

    Lucky

    Date of Birth: 26th May 2022
    Gender: Male
    Size: 55cm (to the withers)/23kg
    Cats: Not suitable for cats

    Lucky is known as the velcro dog – he LOVES people, and does do well with both men and women when he first meets them. He’s happy when out and about on walks and doesn’t pull on the lead. He had previously been adopted in Spain but was a little anxious and sensitive around the man in the home so whilst we don’t want to rule out any potential matches we would need to caveat that any men in the home would need to work at his pace and be understanding to any nervousness displayed. Lucky prefers female dogs and would happily live with one or two. Alternatively we think he would also do well as an only dog.

    Lucky could live in a town or rural setting, but he does need a garden as he enjoys being outside having a play with his doggy pals.

    Lucky is a little over his ideal weight so a weight management plan would be shared with any potential adopters/fosters – this is not causing any health concerns for the vet.

  • Podenco Antonio hoping for an active forever home

    Antonio Video

    Antonio is a beautiful 2 year old Podenco male with a gentle disposition.  Antonio was found on the streets of Fuerteventuras. Despite his past, he shows himself to be an extremely human, affectionate and friendly dog. Antonio is full of energy because of course he wants to seize the opportunity to show off on the chain when one finally comes by. The young male has a distinctive personality and needs both mental and physical exercise.  Even when dealing with other dogs Antonio shows himself social and uncomplicated – a real treasure who just wants to belong.  Now he only lacks one thing: a loving home where he can arrive and show what a wonderful companion he is.  Who will give Antonio a chance at a new life full of love and security?

  • URGENT ACTION needed from all SPANISH ANIMAL RESCUE ASSOCIATIONS

    From Plataforma NAC

    URGENT: MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION   –  MANIFESTING SAME DOGS SAME RIGHTS – Stick with your organization!.
    As you will know, they want to exclude hunting and working dogs from the royal decree of zoos nucleus their last hope of being protected. These dogs would be even more unprotected in a royal decree issued from agriculture that would only require registration, identification and a little more. Reporting the poor condition of the handrail would be even harder.

  • 12 October, start of the Spanish hunting season

    October 12, marks the beginning of the hunting season and with it, the terrible countdown for thousands of greyhounds and hunting dogs in Spain. Once again, these noble animals, used and exploited, face an uncertain fate: abandonment, mistreatment, or death when they cease to be useful for hunting.  The cycle of abuse is repeating. Countless innocent lives are already sentenced.  Behind every specimen of breeding, there is a potential discard.  Enough with the abuse and systematic neglect.
    It is urgent and necessary to put an end to uncontrolled breeding and the cruel discardment of greyhounds and hunting dogs.  They deserve respect, love and an existence free of suffering, not mere tools to use and throw away.
    Follow us, support us and join us for the end of the hunt: https://linktr.ee/plataformanac

  • PACMA, SEPRONA & UCOMA meet to discuss the hunting dogs of Spain

    On October 2nd, we held a very important meeting in Madrid with SEPRONA (National Service of the Environment) and the Central Operational Unit for the Environment (UCOMA) of the Civil Guard. I was accompanied by Eva Ramos, legal advisor for PACMA, and our objective was clear: to demand more resources, more inspections, and a greater commitment to protecting hunting dogs.

    We met with Major General Carlos Sarrión, head of SEPRONA, and several representatives from UCOMA to address a reality we can no longer ignore: the neglected situation faced by thousands of dogs used for hunting in Spain. (more…)

  • Podenca puppy Pia – rescued injured from a perrera – please help with vet fees

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    Meet Pia.  This brave little Podenco puppy was discovered in a perrera at just 6 weeks old—emaciated, suffering with giardia, and with a dislocated knee. Without help, she wouldn’t have survived.
    Thanks to Suspiros de Cuatro Patas, Pia received urgent care and has recently undergone specialist orthopedic surgery. She’s now receiving ongoing physiotherapy—a treatment that comes with significant veterinary costs. Galgopod have already stepped in with an emergency donation, but more support is urgently needed and they have organised a FB fund raiser to help her,
    Every donation will help cover Pia’s treatment and also support the many other Podencos waiting at the refuge.

  • Nervous Podenco urgently needs a foster home in UK – arrives 25th October

    Gala is booked to arrive in the UK on 25th October but we are still looking for a foster or forever home for this gorgeous girl.  She is really struggling in kennels and we already had to move her transport back a month. We don’t want to delay again.
    Her kennel buddy Indigo was equally as nervous and went to his new home in Sept – he has absolutely flourished and we know Gala will in time as well. If you can offer space for Gala to relax and start to decompress please do get in touch. She will be so rewarding.
    Please contact Hope For Podencos for more info and let’s help this lovely girl find a safe home to travel to.

  • Podenca Abril hoping for a forever home

    Abril is open, adaptable, uncomplicated and already knows life in an apartment, as she is currently living in a foster home in Germany.  This way, if you are interested, you can get to know them for the first time without any commitment.
    She is strongly oriented about her person of reference and is tolerant but restrained in dealing with peers. A dog already in the new home would be nice for her, but she will certainly also be happy as an only princess.

    Gender: female
    Birthday: 04-2023 (2 years old)
    Approximate size: approx. 60 cm; 18 kg
