This is an appeal for forever homes for a couple of deserving podencos who have been waiting far too long for their families. They are both in Malaga, Spain, in the Old for Gold group on facebook. Please give them a chance. Anne explains

ANNIE
Annie was brought to us by the Guardia Civil. She was very emaciated and the soles of her feet were completely worn. Her feet really hurt her a lot. She had been reserved very soon after her arrival by someone who wanted to adopt her but then she turned out to be leishmaniasis positive and the people did not want her any more.

Fortunately Annie does not have any symptoms. Annie is already an older lady who we
think was born in 2004.It is time for her to find some real happiness after living a very rough life.

Annie is a very friendly and outgoing podenca Andaluz. She loves to be close to people and for her age is still pretty adventurous.

MANOLITO

We are looking for a great home for the super sweet Manolito.

Manolito was brought to us by one of our volunteers. Her neighbour had him on a chain for many years. It was clear he had leishmaniasis and desperately needed treatment so she convinced her neighbourto surrender him to us. With the medication he needed we turned him into a healthy podenco. He was a bit scared at first but those fears are all gone now.

Manolito is a medium/small sized podenco. He is blind in one eye. He was born in 2009. He is castrated. Who can give him the home that he deserves.

(Leishmania is NOT a problem and there are dozens of podencos and galgos in forever homes who are leish positive. Medication is not expensive, sometimes not even necessary. On facebook is a page dedicated to listing the vet clinics in Europe who understand the disease. Please do not discount these 2 podencos)
