    This is Reina, an Ibizan Podenca, probably no more than a year old. She appeared at Easter on the streets of Valencia. She has been rescued and is currently in a foster home. She is sweet and loving, submissive at the moment but with care and love, her character will emerge.

  • Podenca Blanca in Jaen – looking for her forever home

    Blanca 111 2010 250 This beautiful podenca needs a forever home. This is her recent story.

    ‘Blanca is a beautiful 3-year podenquita which was adopted last week in Barcelona.
    Today is called the adopter and says he wants to return it because the dog follows her everywhere and is overwhelming. Blanca has been abused and needs a home to help her overcome her fears. We cannot let her return to our shelter in Jaén. We are saturated and there are fights every day. Some die when attacked by other dogs. Blanca does not deserve that after having experienced the warmth of a home.

    If anyone can help, write me abyda@live.com.

  • Beautiful podenco Bo – waiting for his forever family – can you help?

    Bo 2 04 2011 250 Here’s another podenco desperately waiting for his forever family.

    ‘Hi all, I’m Emi. Arantxa, a volunteer from the kennel Etxauri. This is Bo, who who loves and does not understand how nobody has even noticed him.

    BO came in August 2009 from a seedy kennel in Valencia. His kennelmate Scooby died, and Bo was alone and sad. We rescued him from there 2 years ago and he is still waiting in our kennels, but why? Bo is a hound, Ibizan and Portuguese. Beautiful, noble, good and happy in essence, loves to walk in the mountains and is obedient and loyal. Bo needs a home, but mostly, Bo deserves a family.’
