  • Podenco Radham with Project Galgo – hoping for a rural forever home

    Project Galgo Radham 7 2025 350
    From Project Galgo

    Little Radham is available for adoption. He is a young, beautiful, affectionate and wonderful Podenco. Just 2 years of age, this button nosed boy is gorgeous inside and out. He loves cuddles and affection in all forms. Such a pure hearted and innocent boy, who is sociable and playful with all people and other dogs. Radham is cat safe and easy going enough to adapt to a variety of environments.

    We would like Radham to have a loving home in a semi rural location, with a secure garden and preferably another happy dog for company. He’s truly amazing.

    If you’d like to apply to adopt Radham, please do so via the ‘apply’ tab on our website.

    Thank you

  • Podenca Andaluz Rosie goes caravanning

    Rosie 350
    There is a UK facebook group called Camping & Caravanning with Greyhounds and Sighthounds. This includes podencos. Recently the group held its first meet at Hertford Caravan Site, in a lovely quiet area bordered by huge trees and bushes in which lived squirrels, a muntjac deer and a fox. 39 hoomans and double that number of greyhounds, lurchers and whippets – and 1 Podenca Andaluz – all gathered for a lovely socialising relaxing weekend.

    My Podenca Rosie is typical of Spanish rescue hounds – very fearful of men. But this weekend she excelled herself, coping with lots of strangers and even bravely accepting attention from a couple of men. Here she’s making friends with greyhound Paddy and his hoomans, plus Rosie’s Dad. The black greyhound is Brian who was very clever at getting into boxes of treats, even with the lids on!

  • Podencos are survivors – give them a chance

    Bev not broken podenco 7 2025 350
    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Post.

    “They don’t come broken — they come betrayed.”
    Let them heal. Let them hope. Let them be seen.

    Podencos don’t come into rescue broken – they come betrayed. What the world labels as “problems” are really scars, the habits of survival, not disobedience. They flinch because of hands that once hurt them. They run because no one ever came back. They don’t trust – because trust was never an option.

    But give them time, Give them space. Give them a reason to believe again.

    To witness a Podenco rise from fear. to see hope flicker behind tired eyes, that’s the gift we offer them. ive them a chance.
    They’ve already survived the worst, now let them live the life they were always meant for.”

  • About the hunting society in Spain

    Plataforma para la Abolición de la Caza.

    The local hunters society had registered numerous partners in the autonomous register without their consent and without their knowledge of their inclusion; some of the registered partners had even passed away for several years. The fact said that there was a possible irregular economic benefit of the social quota, which actually operated as a private quota.

    Several groups of hunters from other provinces were also identified, who brought allegedly valid permits issued by the local hunting society. However, the agents checked that the permits lacked legal validity, since the holders were not part of such society, making this an indispensable requirement to exercise hunting in a social quota.

    Also, with the collaboration of agents of the Civil Guard Post of Sierra de Fuentes (Caceres), they found that certain kinetic activities were being developed in a limited hunting area, where the autonomous regulations expressly prohibit the practiced modality (hunting of storks from a fixed position), which the investigation entailed of six people for allegedly committing a hunting crime.

  • Canary Islands podencos suffer horrendous abuse

    Indignation in Caleta de Famara: Inaction against animal abuse. In Famara, from Ademal Lanzarote

    Under the scorching sun of Famara, a lonely cry breaks our soul. At least four podenches remain locked in a windowless “dungeon,” where the only consolation is a beam of light from the ceiling. Their suffering is palpable.

    Despite having formally reported this situation on June 18, with witnesses corroborating the abuse and prior complaints against the same owner, inaction is the only response we have received. Desperation grows day by day as nothing changes.

    We can’t look away. These animals deserve to be saved.

    Share so that your outcry is heard and the authorities act.

  • Podenco Rupes in foster in the UK – hoping for his forever home

    PJ Rupes 2 350
    Podenco Rupes in foster in England.

    I’m Rupes! Rupi Rupes! I’m here in foster and I’m the most gentle, lovely most pure and calm boy you could ever wish to meet.
    I like the company of other doggies and I’m good with them all, even my teeny weeny foster sister. I’m happy to live with cats too!

    I’m only 6 years old, some people say I look older and wiser than my years. I’ve seen lots of bad things, so maybe that’s why.
    Nevertheless, I’m remarkably trusting and I wag my tail gently at everyone I meet. I don’t know my worth, even though my foster mum tells me I’m so special every single day. I need a calm and loving forever home with a family who can continue to make me feel loved. I’m a really easy boy, with a low prey drive, a dainty baby deer skip and a heart full of kindness.
