I recently reported about two podencos in Seville which Macu had rescued from Palmete, a settlement of galgueros and gitanos from where she saves many hounds. Both the podencos had eye problems. The younger one has been named Atila, just two years old, in good health apart from not being able to see. His problem is that there are waterfalls and tumours in each eye, and if enough money can be raised, the opthamologist can restore Atila’s sight 100%. At the moment, the poor dog spends a lot of time bumping into things or just not moving about atall. The amount needed – 1,600 euros to include the operation and follow-up tests. If Atila does not have the operation, he will be blind for life.

The elderly podenca has been named Marisol, 13 years old and spent her life producing puppies. The diagnosis is that she received a heavy blow to the head causing the loss of vision in the eye, it’s an ’empty’ eye. The cost of the operation to improve the sight of the good eye is approx 350 euros.

Do any of you know how to organise an Auction on Facebook – as this would be the best way of raising funds for Macu for these dogs? I don’t know how to do it. Please, if anyone can, contact me band@bbrennan.eu
