Podenco Post

  • 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

    ALF[1] 190 Portuguese Podenco Aanifera July 2011 You recently read the tale of Sonia, an aged Podenga Portuguese who has been adopted in France to join other fellow pensioners with Betty.

    Look at this stunning boy! He is another Podengo Portuguese in the shelter in Aanifeira shelter in Portugal. Here is what Jackie, who works at the shelter, says.

    ‘Our shelter is located in the north of Portugal just 35 kms south of Porto and we have around 400 dogs in our care. We have a few podengos and in fact I thought I would attach a photo of one of ours called Alf.

  • Podenca Laila, dumped at killing station, carrying a huge tumour

    Laila hernia 1 250 Silvia July 2011 This is Laila, an eleven year old podenca. She is now in the care of Silvia of Galgo Connection Spain. Here is what she says.

    ‘As you can see, Laila has a big tumour and has bred a lot of puppies. Her owner didn’t want to help the old girl and took her to the killing station. She was there about a month. I was waiting for someone to help her but finally, I thought, I have to do something and the best is to operate on her. So she is now booked in to the vet to have the tumour removed.

    Sonia Betty AMCF July 2011 250 A story with a Happy Ending. This is Sonia, a Podenco Portuguese, who spent most of the 12 years of her life in a shelter in Portugal. Last month her dream of a forever home came true when she was adopted into a loving home to join 5 more podencos, plus other oldies!

    She was adopted from the association Aanifeira. I’ve only just learnt about them from Betty, who adopted Sonia to join her family of oldies, but I hope to get more information about their work.

    Cordoba June 2011 – In the historic center of Cordoba, another podenco living in appalling conditions. Between the excrement, the dog is full of parasites, starving, without food and water, tied to a short rope. Occasionally there is someone who throws some food from the gate.
