    2 12 2018 From Bev Farmer this morning.

    The world is crying, Papa Podenco rest in peace

    Beverley’s message:

    ‘Yesterday Warren died in his sleep. I can not believe he has gone, we have been together for 32 years .. Friday was the most horrible day on my life dealing with various officials from the police, the Guardia Civil, the ‘coroner for 10 hours until he was taken for an autopsy. Last night I didnt dare go to sleep in case I didnt wake up. Today the dogs are sat looking at the door waiting for him to come through it .. it’s heartbreaking to see them. My lover, my confident, my best friend, my team mate who put up with my crazy ideas, who shared a passion for the Podencos.

  • Climbing the Everest mountain range for Podencos in Spain

    Kyajo Ri 4 400
    You may remember at the beginning of November I published a story about a British couple climbing in the Everest mountain range to raise funds for the Podencos of Spain. Well, they completed their climb and this was their update 11 November. (Sorry, there are so many stories to post that I get behind in some of the less urgent ones!!)

    ’11/11 Hello lovely people! We are back from Kyajo Ri and just about defrosted. The past five days were the hardest and most intense of our lives. We have been pushed to the limits mentally and physically. This was no walk in the park. We made it to 6,000 meters after four gruelling days of ascending the mountain.

    Devastatingly we had to turn back just 180 meters before the summit. The technical rock sections which come just before the snowy summit were coated in ice, this made climbing up them very difficult and very slow. The fixed rope was also coated in ice which meant the jumar didn’t slide as it should. After many attempts and many falls (legs are black and blue) we decided to turn back. Kalden (our guide) said we were just too late in the season, winter had already come to Kyajo Ri!

  • Podenco Santana – Podenco Friends need your help for him

    Bev Farmer and warren Beards are always there for the podencos, no matter how many they have (one bitch recently rescued in the nick of time just gave birth) nor how desperate the situation. Read the story of Santana and please donate towards his vet feets.

    ‘Santana has been with us a few days and we have been waiting for a lot of lab results to come in and an assessment by a orthopedic specialist. Another Podenco Ibicenco discovered in a lamentable condition his body so depleted he struggled to walk. Left as he was, he would not have survived.

    He has a fracture to the right hip, the specialist has recommended not to operate, there is already a reaction to the bone so it’s not a recent injury. Surgery could make it worse plus he is at very high risk to have anesthesia due to his poor body condition. For now, restricted exercise, pain meds and it may heal ok on its own. If not, in the future they will need to remove the head of the femur.

  • Little podenca Leila – waiting for her forever home

    Protectora Animals Morrazo Leila 400 11 2018
    This adorable little rough haired Podenca is with Protectora de Animals Morrazo and she is waiting and waiting for a forever home. Here’s what they say about her.

    ‘Leila has spent a lot of time in the protectora and after two failed adoptions we couldn’t give her back to her kennels so a volunteer took her to cure an allergy and see what the problem there was with a podenca that only weighs 6 kilos. We have to say that Leila is pure joy and tenderness but the months pass and what promised to be a short stay is extended, which harms this beauty.

    Our fosterer has 6 dogs apart from those who need homes. Leila needs a definitive home where she finally sits in her place. Will you be her angel and offer that to her? Please help us to keep helping.

  • Podenca puppy on the streets of Jerez, Seville.

    Judith Tenorio podenco 400 11 2018
    It’s a very hard life on the streets for a podenca puppy. I received an appeal for help for this little one on the streets in a village in Jerez, Cadiz. Stoned by local children, on heat, the 2 volunteers trying to catch her couldn’t take her into their homes as they have male dogs! Luckily through appealing widely on facebook, I’ve had the news that she is rescued and safe.
