  • 2 old podencos – thrown away like trash

    Cruelty has no limits. Two old pods have been thrown over the fence of the shelter El Campito – Salvando Peludos
    Thrown in over a 2.5 m fence. You cared very little about the damage you could do to them.  Disposed like garbage, at the end of their lives, in an act of cowardice and absolute lack of humanity.
    This is the sad and cruel reality facing thousands of hunting dogs. They need urgent help. They need us. We can’t fail them too.

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

    Candy

    Date of Birth: 1st September 2022
    Gender: Female
    Colour: White and Tan
    Height: 60cm (to the withers)/25kg
    Temperament: A little aloof at first but affectionate with people and playful with other dogs
    Cats: Not tested

    Candy is very playful but prefers to play with other podencos and sighthounds and can be intimidated by some of the bigger dogs in kennels, she can live with other sighthounds, smaller breeds or as a solo dog. She, like many podencos has a high prey drive so this will need some work when it comes to lead walking. She is friendly and loving with humans and very gentle, although can be a little aloof to begin with – she could live with older children. She wouldn’t enjoy city life, but could cope with a town or anything more rural.

    Candy has a condition that makes her prone to mouth ulcers so has to have her teeth brushed daily.

  • Hope for Podencos- Sonny needs a foster or adoption for 22nd November

    Sonny

    Date of Birth: 1st January 2023
    Gender: Male
    Size: 65cm (to the withers)/25kg
    Cats: Not tested

    Sonny is a large pod who is lovely and friendly and likes to please! He is clever (like most pods) and is food oriented which makes him a great training prospect. He plays nicely with the other dogs, but we think would also do fine in a home on his own where his humans can lavish him with affection and give him lots of time and attention. He’s a confident boy and great around people – as he’s quite large, we think he’d be better suited to slightly older children. Other than that he’s pretty versatile in terms of the type of home he’s looking for!

  • Results of the CMA investigation into UK vet fees

    This https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/other/vets-could-be-made-to-cap-prescription-prices-after-uk-watchdog-investigation/ar-AA1OuEG0?ocid=UE01DHP&pc=UE01&cvid=68ef8de2ba024086bb93f96e9b3d65ee&ei=27&fbclid=IwY2xjawNi8F9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHnOoo6DQtItvm1-4eyNZT0SR7Au0fSs27fprqBhT1ywTka3VNzo9YE6GCw1h_aem_tJIvZ_X4mIuXvEmRJSu_uQweblink will take you to the results of the CMA investigation into the exhorbitant charges most UK vets require for their services.  The high charges have resulted in a large number of pet owners either self medicating their pets or giving up their pets, because speculative companies have bought out vet businesses.  Having said that, the vets are at fault too – I feel – because they have put their profits before the care of animals in need.

  • 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
