Bev Farmer says ‘Rescuing a dog is so special and it saves their lives.
No dog really deserves to be mistreated or abandoned on the streets..If people could find it in their hearts to adopt it will change that dog’s life forever. Not only will they save that dog, they will be saving another for rescue. Shelters, even perreras have limited space so when one is adopted it can open a space for another one to be rescued.

Podenco Canario Mistral with Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends. ‘Another flying furry …Mistral first rescued from a perrera on Lanzarote and very shut down. On arriving at the finca she very much found her inner podenco and sense of fun and loves playing with her toys’
Here’s a great achievement for a podenco, although sadly the newspaper report doesn’t mention it’s a podenco!
These podenco puppies were handed into a kill station…it never ceases to sicken me that some sub-humans consider life to worthless.

Want a dog
Wanting a dog does not involve just choosing which one you like more for your physical qualities or “race”, wanting a dog also implies to realize that you will invite him to share your life, your house, your space and that he also has needs and Many times will not fulfill your expectations.
Wanting a dog is to be willing to love him in the good and bad, puppy, adult or grandfather, love him when he barks and have patience because something wants to tell you.
Love him when he bites the walls and the armchair, when he runs and doesn’t listen to you because he’s expressing his nature free and playful. Take him to the doctor because he’s sick or hurt.
Give him worthy food and not “what spare” but what you can really offer him. Understand that a dog has tastes and dislikes and that what you expected from him may not be compatible with who he actually is.
