Introducing this little handsome podenco who appeared in Guillene (Seville). He’s been named Romeo, a Maneto/Erbano, who is playful and gets on well with other dogs. Not cat tested.
He’s currently in our shelter but looking for a forever family.

One woman, Nina Torres, reckons it’s fine for most adult dogs to be in a crate “nine hours maximum” during the day (with a walk in the middle), and then eight hours at night.
I cannot believe anyone would condone incarcerating a dog for most of the 24 hours of its life!! I’m with PETA!
The sad situation for so many abandoned podencos, especially now the shelters are full to overflowing, adoptions have dried up because of the financial situation brought on by Brexit and Putin!
STILL ON THE STREET.
Can any shelter or private home foster or adopt him!!!! It’s very scared, won’t let anyone close, is now very lame, being left to die on the street!! Is in Sangonera la Verde. Murcia.
Les Amis d’Ivar association in France have podenco Victor for adoption. He’s in Dept 59, Nord-Pas-de-Calais
Victor is a beautiful small Andalusian Podenco of about one year old. He was found wandering with barbed wire embossed in his paw.
We don’t know the origin of this injury, but today that misery is behind him.
Ok with dogs, cats unknown. Nice to people, shy at first, but that’s ok. It will take a while to trust, but once it does, Victor will be the type of dog who will only have eyes for his human, a magical relationship.
He is a beauty and we would love a family as beautiful as him to show him that the hand is no longer the one that hits, but the one that caresses.

‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

I received the following appeal in my Inbox this week. Maybe someone can help these 2 podencos.
‘I’m trying to find a home for 2 Podencos, they are 7 years old and I need a home for them as I’m moving back to England and cannot take the dogs with me. They come with their own kennels – see similar on this link. I have had them since they were a couple of weeks old and
abandoned in a cardboard box.
Attached are a couple of photo’s of them, I would be most pleased if you know of anybody that would like them. I live near Vinuela. Email me please.’
The charming village of La Vinuela (Little Vineyard) is situated 45 kilometres from Malaga and 19 kilometres from the coastal town of Torre del Mar, in the stunning natural surroundings of the Axarquia region.
In all my 70+ years of living with dogs from puppies to old dogs, I have never felt the need to use a crate. But these days it’s become fashionable to use a crate if someone can’t train/control their dog. I think – well, human, how would you like to be shut in a cage?’ So this is a very informative article by Charl del Rio, founder of 112carlotagalgos in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga, on this very subject and why one shoule NEVER use a crate on a galgo or podenco.
‘IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CRATES/TRANSPORTINES/BENCHES AND GALGOS AND PODENCOS
Please remember galgos are not greyhounds and come from an entirely different background. Many a galgo or podenco has been rescued from a severely dark place and time in their life. Many many are rescued from dark small hovels, under ground and in some cases with pallets on the top.
From Galgos Rescue Almeria
‘This is Marlos. The beautiful chocolate brown podenco was no longer wanted by its owner due to a knee injury. Marlos came 11 March 2021 to GRA, a cheerful playful young fellow who apparently was not much bothered by his limping hind leg.
After an examination by the traumatologist, the advice was not to do surgery for the time being and to wait and see how it developed further.
11 February Marlos could leave to Cristina’s place, Casa degli Elfi where he could get used to home life with other Podencos.
After a few months it turned out that he was experiencing more and more trouble and his leg also became painful. So underwent major surgery and is now convalescing with a foster family.
The vet bill is huge, nearly 2,000 euros, so much for a small shelter like us.
All help / support is welcome to cover his costs.
