Apologies for the lack of colourful pix on Podenco Post but we have had to change to a new system and I am still getting the hang of using it.

New home for Podenco Post
WE have had to move the Podenco Post website to a new internet home, so that’s why we have been offline the past few days.
The site is still very much a work in progress, but we are slowly putting the pieces back together and normal service will be resumed soon.
As ever, thank you for your support over the years.

Update on Podenca Puppy Pia after major sugery
Pia Update from Bev Farmer
Thank you all for sending so much love and good energy for Pia. Her surgery went well and she came home from the clinic yesterday. Today, she’s bright-eyed, alert, eating well, a— a little fighter through and through.
This was no small surgery. Pia had a grade 4 patella luxation — the most severe level — meaning her kneecap was permanently dislocated. Without this operation, her quality of life would have been severely impacted.
Now begins her road to recovery: several weeks of very restricted exercise, daily physio, and plenty of TLC. Luckily, Pia has a dream team around her — Luisa is caring for her with so much love, I’m always just a phone call away, and the rescue has a skilled physiotherapist guiding every step.
Thanks to Suspiros de Cuatro Patas who first rescued Pia they have given her the chance at a pain-free, happy future — and we can’t wait to see her run freely one day.

Found starving in a rubbish bin in Spain – but at least alive!
Found in a dumpster, thrown away like garbage. One more victim of hunting in Spain.
They used it, exploited it, and when it no longer served them, they threw it away without remorse. This is how thousands of hunting dogs end up every season: invisible, discarded, mistreated to the end.
This little one was found inside a dumpster, without strength, without hope. Only thanks to the protector who rescued him does he have a chance to move on.

Marching in Spain 14 September – remembering the 32 souls in Azuaga Badajoz
From Plataforma NAC
Indifference kills.
This Sunday 14 September we raise our voices for those who could not defend themselves.
32 lives killed by starvation and neglect in Azuaga (Badajoz). They were not forgotten. It was not an accident. It was cruelty.
245 animal protection entities, including some international ones, unite to demand justice and that this massacre never happens again https://plataformanac.org/concentracion-azuaga-14…/
Dozens of dogs have died between suffering, indifference and silence. We cannot allow barbarism to go unpunished.
This Sunday, September 14, from 11h to 13h, in Plaza de la Merced (opposite the Azuaga City Hall), we will raise our voice for those who no longer have it.
Because their life matters. Because they’re not tools. Because neglect and abuse kills.
Come. Shout. Spread the word. Let it not be repeated.
