  • Podencos – victims of Spanish hunters – hear their plea

    La Linea hanged with trap 1 02 2011 250 The following stories have come in showing the unnecessary cruelty which hunters will inflict on their dogs when they are no longer of use nor wanted.  The first podenco was the victim of being hung by a steel belt!  The old one was abandoned at a petrol filling station, searching for food.  The third one – well, you can see the terrible condition, how long had this poor podenco been on the streets of La Cazalla (70km from Seville), with no food.  La Linea at Cadiz is one of the shelters which has hundreds of these dogs, all deserving a forever home.

  • Extremadura hunters – Fepaex says ‘Take Responsibility for your Dogs!

    Extremadura hunter fepaex.org 02 2011 250 Podencos and galgos both suffer unimagineable cruelty at the hands of the Spanish hunters and gitanos – Spanish gypsies.  Most publicity comes from the regions of Andalucia and Murcia, as well as the Spanish Islands Ibiza and the Canary Islands.  However, the Spanish interior including the region of Extremadura is also hell on earth for galgos and podencos.  Here is a report from Fepaex – Federacion de Protectoras de Animales de Extremadura.

  • Podencoworld – Profile of its founder, Edwin

    Ed edenlili 250  Podencoworld is a marvellous website dedicated to publicising this much maltreated breed of Spanish and Portuguese hunting hound.  Like the Spanish galgo espanol, they suffer horrendous cruelty and maltreatment at the hands of the Spanish hunters, who show no mercy towards these loyal and affectionate hounds.  Here's Edwin's story.

    I first came into contact with podencos around five years ago.  My cousin's dog was deceased so she was looking for another dog. To help her, I went looking for a puppy over the Internet. I was already searching for quite a while when I found a website from a foundation with Spanish adoption dogs.  Soon I got a smile on my face because I saw a dog with disproportionate ears, this was Chica. I liked her instantly, I thought she was totally awesome, every time again was I drawn to her picture and I became happy looking at that crazy little head with floppy ears.

  • Rick Beauchamp – Podencos from Lanzarote part 1

     Rick and Lesley Beauchamp are based in Leicester in the UK and for the past few years have worked in co-operation with the SARA Lanzarote animal shelter in the Canary Islands, rehoming podenco canarios, whose only hope of a life outside the shelter is to be adopted on mainland Europe.

    Rick tells the story of his trips to collect the dogs in three parts, here is the first one.

    'Well I went over to Germany the Saturday before last and returned with 4 dogs, 2 of which have already gone to their new homes a 3rd hopefully will be on his way once his ear infection is cleared up! The 4th is a real poppet Papel the Pod x Bardino and we are fairly confident of finding him a home pretty quickly.

  • Rick Beauchamp – Podencos from SARA Lanzarote part 2

    Rick B pods runway 250 Here's the story of Rick's trip from the UK to Lanzarote in April 2010.

    'Well, we all got back safe and sound around 6am yesterday morning.

    The trip was pretty uneventful really, we got to Cologne around 8pm on Monday evening and stayed in a very pleasant little hotel near the station. ( The rooms were on the 4th floor so it’s a good job that the Poddys were’nt being picked up until the next day) The lovely people in the hotel looked after us very well indeed, finding us a free parking space for the night and extending it through the following day until we were ready to leave.

  • Rick Beauchamp – Podencos from SARA Lanzarote part 3.

    Rick B pods beds 2 home 250 Rick and Lesley Beauchamp are based in Leicestershire in the UK, and each year they travel to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands to bring home som Podenco Canarios, whose only hope of a forever life outside the SARA Lanzarote shelter is to be adopted on mainland Europe.

    Here Rick talks about the project and the 3 trips he has made so far.  What is hidden is the true International co-operation which goes on to bring the dogs to the UK; from them choosing the dogs in Lanzarote to arranging flight partners to take the dogs to Europe; to enlisting help from the German population to meet the dogs at the airports; to the absolute exhaustion that Rick and his friend Daryl submot themselves to over a couple of  days.

  • BEBE – a Podenca Andaluz – rescued injured from a Seville motorway

    Family animals 2010 040 210 Bebe is my miniature Podenca Andaluz.  Here is her story.

    Bebe was found, traumatised with fear, starving and dumped on a Seville autoroute.  She had been badly injured by a vehicle and her left hind leg damaged to such an extent that she could not walk on it.  She was rescued by a volunteer from an animal refuge and taken to her home.  The following day, a vet at the refuge clinic diagnosed a badly dislocated hip and other wounds to her body from the accident.  Her age was put at between 3-6 years old.
