• Tail Torrox Dog Shelter in Malaga Province – plenty of podencos looking for forever homes

    Mona 400
    Torrox is on the Costa del Sol but not a place the tourists tend to visit, as it has apartment blocks rather than big hotels. But like most of the rest of Spain it too suffers from too much animal abandonment and that’s where the Tail Torrox shelter comes in. Founded in 2008, they currently have plenty of podencos hoping for forever homes, on this page you can read all about them.

    This tiny is Mona. Mona came in with her puppies. She is estimated to be born 14.2.2018 and weighs 8.6kg and 40cm in height. She is typical of the breed, shy but sweet and timid with strangers. She plays well with a mixed group of dogs. She has tested positive for leishmaniosis. If you are interested in offering a forever home, email info@tailtorrox.es about her.

  • Sometimes you just can’t keep a podenco in!!

    After the previous very sad post, I thought this one would brighten your day.

    Whenever a podenco is homed, it’s always emphasised that an enclosed area is needed with fencing/walls at least 2m high. In this video you can see that a fence that height is no barrier to a little Podenco Maneto!

  • Podenco Leo with Galgos 112 – looking for a forever home

    Galgos 112 Leo 400
    Introducing Podenco Leo with Galgos 112

    A wonderful and very loving podenco who enjoys the company of people and other dogs, both small and large. He even gets along with geese, and we already know what a character they have!

    At the end of the day he falls deep in bed where he recharges the batteries for the next day.

    The family that decides to adopt him will enjoy a companion 10.

    If you want to adopt Leo, write with your details, location and phone number to info@galgos112.com or send the adoption form that you can find on our website.

    For all of you who have been following the story of the injured podenco left by the roadside in Huelva, I have been asked by those helping him to hold updates on his progress as, even though he did not have a chip, someone may come forward and try and claim him. Just to say he’s in good hands.

  • Badly injured podenco – left in pain unable to walk, at the side of the road!

    Injured podenco second 1 400 9 2022
    This podenca was found at the side of the road, badly injured with a front leg broken in several places and also a broken back leg – she can’t even get up! The person who took the pix and video then sent them to a friend 50km away with only a motor bike – what did she expect her to do? The poor dog was on the Huelva-San Juan road.

    So it was decided to call the police to pick the dog up and take it to a perrera!! There they will not do anything to help the poor dog, this is how some people act!

    Video

    Not helped by the fact that the shelters are full to overflowing.

    I’ve asked a few people if they can help.

    I am trying to get updates.

  • Injured podencos in Spain – just left to suffer?!

    Twice on 3rd September 2022 on my Podenco Post facebook page, photos and appeals have been published about injured podencos…the first one the hunter doesn’t want it, the second one videod and left at the side of the road!!! So many times I feel impotent that I can’t go and get them!! Here’s the story of the first one, which does have a positive ending.

    PODENCO WITH BROKEN LEG! The beautiful chocolate brown podenco was no longer wanted by its owner due to a knee injury. Walter has many scars on his body… his life was terrible.

    The hunting dog breeds most frequently abandoned are podencos and galgos.
    When they’re no longer useful to their owners, these dogs meet a tragic end. Many are shot, poisoned, hanged from trees, or thrown over ravines at the end of Spain’s hare coursing season.

    We need urgently HELP FROM ANY ASSOCIATION!

    Contact: Natasha Trillo#


    Update
    : UK association will take him and rehome but we need your help for his operation: 700€

    PayPal: Anewleashforliferescue@outlook.com Ref: Walter Please, help him
