Adopted through Amor Podenco, her name is Chica and she was adopted when she was one year old, now she is three.
I’m a singing songwriting dog dad to podencos Nala and Monkey, the funniest rescued Podencos on the internet! We are exploring the world and raising awareness for the breed.
Introducing the Podenco Campanero and his crosses. A large-sized Andalusian podenco often crossed with Portuguese, Ibizenco or little-known mastiff and like so many podencos in Spain, also mistreated and humiliated for being part of the rehalas in the main hunt. Most of them are invisible because they remain their whole lives locked up in hunters’ kennels where they live crowded without seeing much sunlight.
They’re called BELLERS because on hunting days where they go in a hurry harassing the prey, a bell was placed around their necks…
A year ago we found NeoGeo abandoned and chipless near a field frequented by hunters. His life has changed a lot in these twelve months, just like for us. He is so loving, beautiful and good, that we forgive him how he destroys things when he has to stay alone at home with another sister podenca. Now we can’t imagine living without him. We don’t know exactly when he was born, but for us his real life began on our side, far from the hardships of his old existence. Happy birthday Geo.
How often have we heard it? A podenco chucked out by their hunter after a lifetime of devotion.
12 year old Flamenca deserves to live our the rest of her life knowing comfort, regular food and love. Contact Hope for Podencos if you can offer her such a home.
You can read the story of why Babu is looking for a new forever home on this weblink.
We all take on our pets – be they dogs, cats, rabbits, horses – hoping that they will live their lives out with us. But we never know what is round the corner – ill health, a sudden death, loss of a rented home. And it can be heartbreaking for the adopter to have to make a decision to part with their beloved pet and find a new home for them. It’s also confusing for the animal, but most adapt much quicker than the person who has had to hand over their pet.
Lets hope that the next home for Babu is the only one he will ever have.
