• Protectora Scooby now 30 years old

    Scooby logo 400
    Although this is a video from when Scooby was 25 years old, nothing has changed apart from some of the animals! The abandonment of hunting dogs, the cruelty to animals in Spain never changes and yet the Scooby team are always there to help. Please support them.

    Report and video from Protectora Scooby Palencia which, along with Scooby Zamorra, were the 2 latest shelters to open.

    (Translation) ‘Summer is usually a difficult time for animal protectors, since the number of abandoned dogs increases with the holidays. This year, for the moment, fewer dropouts have been registered in Palencia than in previous campaigns, which suggests that society is becoming more aware. But there is still a long way to go, especially when it comes to acquiring a pet. For many, buying an animal is a whim that contributes to increasing the problem. Adopting, on the other hand, can be the solution and gives these animals a second chance.’

    And a video of a visit to Protectora Scooby Medina by a young French woman and her father. Note the white podenco sitting in a hole. This is often the ‘bed’ for hounds which are chained outside.

  • Two young Podencos hoping for forever homes

    Paqui podenco Atos 400 1 6 2023
    From Paqui

    ‘Let’s fight for the poor PODENCOS

    This is Atos, a Podenco Orito, and below is MINT. Two of the most WONDERFUL breeds and at the same time the most PUNISHED in this country of Spain. Both INVISIBLE, young and rotting after damn in a shelter. They are in Malaga but they can travel.

    ATOS and MINT, both were going on the directionless road where their abused little bodies would lead them, they were rescued in terrible conditions and are now in a kennel. Don’t let them fall into oblivion forever.

    ATOS (Podenco Orito) is one year old, very sweet, we already know Podencos are angels without wings, would you like to give him a home? Give me a call… Contact : Mcarmen Rincon (Spain 0034) 691036286

    MINT (Podenca) is not even 2 years old and very sweet with everyone. Contact: Angeles Dominguez (Spain 0034) 644761436 )

  • In Valencia – an older Podenca hoping for a forever home

    Pinky 400 6 2023
    I adopted Rosely 18 months ago. She was 9 years old but very lively and loves long walks, and has a dog-wagging tail – it never stops unless she is frightened!

    In Valencia. ‘This is an older girl hoping for a forever home. Female, she had no chip, older and very scared, she will be about 8 or 9 years old, found in Llombai, very scared, but then she is a treasure. It’s clear she’s had bad experiences.

    She urgently needs a foster home or, even better, a forever home. She doesn’t deserve to end up in a cage. We named her Pinky.

    Contact or visit our shelter in Modepran Carlet’

  • Advice – Canine Brucellosis

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    ‘Canine Brucellosis, this is relevant to anyone in the UK that has adopted a dog from overseas .. please read

    There have been a number of reports of some veterinary Clinics in the UK that any one that has brought a dog into the UK from overseas. They are now insisting it is tested for Brucellosis before they are willing to treat it .. I have attached a link below from an article from the British Veterinary Association recommending protocols ti be put in place ..

    This will also include breeders importing dogs and possibly people who travel overseas with their dogs..

    My concern is your dog needs emergency treatment and it is delayed until the blood results are back, it may be too late.
    Asking some of our adopters it seems that the private practices are not making this request but the bigger practices that are owned by companies are doing so. Even dogs that have been in the UK for a number of years with no symptoms.

  • What happened to this injured podenco?

    Injured podenco 400 5 2023

    Sad story about an injured podenco. The fate of many who are injured and abandoned by the sub-human hunters.

    ‘The guy who sounded the alarm and then went to look for the dog wrote this to us:

    “My friends were on the bikes and I don’t know if they could take him, we were on Sunday until 11 looking for him and it only cost us a fight with the property owner.” It’s pretty far off. We haven’t been able to do more, other than we work during the week and can’t go. “

    The boys on the bikes were looking for him where they saw him and the owner of the estate threatened to shoot them if they did not leave there, when I finally let them explain, the guy already knew about the dog, they believe the dog was theirs and that in the conditions that the dog there could not have gone very far and yet no matter how much they looked they didn’t see it.
    They believe the guy is a boar hunter and injured him and probably left it like that or shot him.
    If anyone is determined to go and know more about this case write to us in private and we will give more details.

    An appeal was raised on facebook ‘Have you seen this poor dog that seems to have been attacked by a boar, we only have the location I share because they don’t know what to do in case someone can approach.’

  • Special forever home needed for disabled Podenca

    Polly Julietta 2 400
    From Polly Mathewson

    A VERY SPECIAL FAMILY NEEDED FOR A VERY SPECIAL GIRL

    Beautiful white podenca JULIETA is currently in Malaga, Spain and looking for a very special family because she is disabled following an accident. She is very sweet, very loving and only a year and a half old. In the house her back legs will drag behind her and out and about she will need wheels. But with the right help her life can be so dignified, happy and fulfilling, and I can vouch absolutely that podencos are the loveliest souls you can be blessed to share YOUR life with! A podenca by your side is to have an angel by your side.

    For Julieta her guardian angel rescuer is Álvaro MP. He has saved her life as she was to be put to sleep in the pound in Spain, he is now paying for her vet work and physiotherapy and organising her wheels! But he needs to find that one special person who will give her the happy, loved future she so deserves.

    If you can foster or adopt, or would like to help in any other way please get in touch with Álvaro MP by Facebook PM/messenger.

  • 2 podencos urgently in need of a foster home

    Almanival 2 podencos 400 5 2023
    From Almanival

    ‘We are asking for help for this couple of podencos, urgently a home for both, but the dog is very pregnant. If they could be taken in so she could have her pups in safety. Otherwise she is on her own to have them and who knows if there will be problems, and they will be born outside.

    The owner, lives in the city, the dogs in a village far away and he works outside, which he can’t go to see them almost every week.

    Foster homes needed one male one female. They are 2 years old.

  • Canine Lipoma – don’t delay if you find a lump

    This is what my galgo Polar died from. The lumps appear very quickly so don’t delay if you find one on your dog.

    Canine Lipoma

  • Podenca – old, sick, abandoned…

    This video hurts just to look at it!

    ‘We’re overwhelmed and in vet debt plus Athena’s surgery, but we couldn’t leave her to her luck.

    No name yet, but now in a shelter near us. Those like us who have been in this rescue world for some time will already guess what has happened to this little girl. Long nails, skin issues and wounds…

    Can someone help us with her expenses, we can’t take any more needing vet treatment – please.
