I’ve just found this page on Bev Farmer’s facebook page – brilliant sweaters for podencos and galgos who feel the cold indoors in the cooler weather. My little podenca Bebe is now 16 and the sweater I knitted was too small, so she wears a lightweight fleece body warmer I made. But one of these sweaters is now on her wish list!

Coronovirus – travel from Europe to the US
From Bev Farmer 12 3 2020In the early hours a press release was made announcing suspension of travel from European countries to the USA for 30 days. This has been amended that this does not include US Citizens (go figure) .. however it will impact on dogs traveling out there and with so-much uncertainty SHUG have decided to postpone flights which has a knock on effect on us here in Spain. Crystal in the photo is due to fly to Canada in a few days so we are waiting to see if Canada will impose similar restrictions.

Podenco Felix – one month on after rescue
At the end of January I posted a story about a young podenco found starving at the roadside, taken into care with Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends. He was named Felix.Here’s what Bev says about him now. ‘One month ago Felix was a broken, scared and very thin Podenco pup abandoned and all alone in the campo. Some loving care and good nutrition, today he is a happy loving full of fun dog.’

Please help Podenca Amber and her babies
From Angie McReady, who has been rescuing and rehoming podencos for many years.‘As I suspected Amber is low level leish. She’s clear for everything else.
We can’t start treatment until shes finished feeding her puppies. Having said that, I have now noticed she has a split teat. The puppies are now 5 weeks old and eating themselves so I think it#s time for her to stop feeding them so she can heal
I know some people may say it’s too early, and had she not got the split teat she would carry on for another couple of weeks or so.Again treatment is going to cost money. I’m really struggling as I’m not getting the same support as I did before I took a break from rescue after the distemper outbreak. It’z such a shame as I’m now very hesitant to take in anymore rescues as I can’t do this without your help. And I really really do hate asking x’

PACMA protest outside the Spanish Government, for inaction on animal welfare
This is a google translation of this article into EnglishWho do they fear? Who do they protect? Why haven’t they taken it forward?
Last week we have returned to Congress to remind the PSOE and We can that animals are still waiting, they need a law to protect them. But not just any law.
They need a law that outlaws torture in festivities and shows, that frees them from circuses, that prevents them from being traded with their lives, turns them into objects and condemns them to abandonment. They need a law that takes them away from hunter bullets.
They need the Zero Law, which requires only political will, courage and conviction, because the work has already been done.

Tenerife, Gran Canaria – 5 podencos rescued from hell
Once again, we run out of words….From the Albergue Valle Colino shelter. Five Dogs have been rescued from hell in which they lived.
Their owner, a hunter who has already been identified, had them in a cave of a ravine in Tabaiba. On our arrival, they had no water, no food and they were in full sun.
As you can appreciate in the images, the dogs are in lousy conditions, hungry and infested with ticks.
They are currently in our facilities and under the care of our veterinary team.
At the moment, they are not in adoption, but we will keep reporting and as soon as they can, they will need a home to live,
We want to highlight the importance of denouncing, because thanks to those who saw them in that situation and denounced the authorities, they are finally today safe.
Finally, highlight the work and participation in this rescue of the civil guard of Radazul and the local police of el Rosario.

Protectora Scooby Palencia – sweet podenca now safe
The abandonment of hunting dogs is never ending. Thank goodness for the rescue and rehoming associations. And one of the largest is Scooby. This sweet young podenca is now safe with Protectora Scooby Palencia.‘This beautiful podenquita had to take a bath just after arriving at the shelter. We do not know where she has been living but gave off an unbearable smell of manure. Although in the pics it is not appreciated, she’s quite thin and has problems of skin and mouth. The poor girl is quite scared but we trust that little by little she will gain confidence and so that a new and happy life can begin soon.
