As I wrote earlier in the week, for several years I’ve been plugging away publicising about the podencos in the Canary Islands who suffer terrible abuse and whose only hope for forever lives is to be rehomed on mainland Europe. Another association now helping the Gran Canaria podencos is Hope for Podencos and you can read about their work on this link.
Last Hope for Podencos…adopt from an association, not a perrera
Sadly there is no good news about the 90 podencos near Mogan, still caged, starved and dying. Local volunteers are still working with the local authorities but making little progress. That’s the problem when those in authority are also probably hunters!

One response to “Saving the Gran Canaria podencos”
I have had a look at the website for this association. They have beautiful dogs looking for homes and you are right, the dogs should be adopted from an association. I have read about all kinds of issues when adopting from a perrera. So sorry for the 90 podencos. Spain and Romania are hell holes for dogs and they are part of Europe?! Shame on them.
