Why you should microchip your pet
It is an EU law that dogs,cats, equines and ferrets (yes, even ferrets!) are microchipped. It doesn’t cost a lot, but it does mean that if your pet is lost or stolen, it is easier to trace. And one should remember that when adopting an animal from an EU country, you should register the microchip in the country in which you live. Again, it’s not difficult. All my Spanish dogs at our French farm were registered with the French microchip database through our vet. Our Spanish dogs with us now in England have their microchips registered with the UK microchip company, such as Pet Log.This weblink gives you all the reasons you should microchip your pet.

Podenco Rudy looking for a forever home
From L’Atelier du Coeur association in France.‘I present to you RUDY a very nice riugh haired podenco who comes from afar since he was with his sister Leire in a Perrera. Volunteer Marita did what was necessary to get them out of this hell.
They are at the shelter now.
RUDY at 7 months and must not stay too long at Marita’s. Already by his age and also by the number of cuties down there. With no more space, unfortunately the risk of a fight increases.
RUDY like his sister Leire are adoptable throughout France, Belgium and the Swiss border.
They are under association cover via our association.

Animal Fostering – can you help?
Animal foster carers are worth their weight in gold to rescues and shelters. Many of us would like to help (we fostered many galgos and podencos at our French farm) but for various reasons are unable to. I would love to but we are both heading for 80 years old, with creaky joints! We downsized from our French farm after my last horse died, to a small bungalow with a small garden. We adopted 2 podencos and although as I sit typing this at the kitchen table, I see there is absolutely no room for a third dog bed! Plus vet bills in the UK are astronomical – another victim of Rip Off Britain and investment speculators – hedge funds and pet insurance companies buying vet practices. On small pensions we simply can’t afford another dog or pet insurance.Here’s an article about fostering. Although it’s on the RSPCA website, it applies to all animal rescue associations and shelters. There is a shelter local to most people, please consider helping if you can. Some of the rescues will help with feed/vet bills.

Podencos for adoption with Hope for Podencos
Hope for Podencos was founded in 2014 by Irene and Steve Allan at their finca. Vet Suzanne came on board and they purchased a separate fiinca. Sadly not long after Suzanne died in a road accident. In 2020 Irene sadly passed away and after another couple of years, Steve returned to the UK.
However, there is still a dedicated team working to help the maltreated podencos in Spain.
