  • Save the SPA shelters in France

    Can everyone please sign and share the below petition. The French government is about to approve legislation which will put a stop to subsidised employment contracts at, for example, SPAs. Without these contracts most SPAs will not have enough members of staff to keep going and the animals in their care will suffer. It is already so difficult for them with record numbers of abandoned animals!!!

  • Podenca Milagro – is there a home for her in Belgium or France?

    Milagro head 400 8 11 2017
    Milagro is a female podenca, aged 13 years who several years ago was rescued from a perrera. SOS Podenca Rescue Belgium & France are looking for an adoption or long term foster. She is negative for Mediterranean diseases.

    Unfortunately Milagro is not ok other animals, or children (-12 years), so the ideal home for rhis granny would be a couple of retired people with a big garden and a place to isolate her when children are visiting

    Let’s not let her finish her life alone in a kennel. A fairy godmother has volunteered to pay for her trip to the home where she can spend the rest of her life.

    Is there anyone who will love her and allow her to spend the rest of her life in dignity and safety? All veterinary charges are supported by the association.

  • Cadiz – podenca urgently needs rescue

    Pepi Ortega elderly podenca 400 7 11 2017
    Heartbreaking…this poor little podenca, chained up outside…no longer wanted by her owner. 11 years old, her future looks bleak. Surely she deserves rescue to see out her remaining years…she could live another 5…in comfort and knowing love and a warm bed. This is an urgent plea for any protectora or association who could take her, or for a foster. She is near Cadiz. Contact Pepi Ortega on (0034) 695458994

  • A dog’s thoughts on fireworks

    Nellie Doodles fireworks 400Yet another fabulous Nellie Doodles cartoon. I wish fireworks were only available to organised displays…so much terror for so many animals, especially in the UK where anyone over 16 can buy them.

  • The Podencos of Lanzarote by Val Patterson

    I'm a podenco lover 400Since starting my galgo and podenco blogs 10 years ago, I have continuously appealed for help for the Canary Islands podencos. In the last three or 4 years, many more people have now responded to their plight, helped a great deal by publicity on facebook (one of the plus side of facebook). Val Patterson has now put together this lovely video and song. Please share and publicise the plight of the podencos in the Canary Islands.

  • Saved from death – Spain’s volunteers on the frontline again

    Jacky tanamera 3 tinies 4004 weeks ago I received an appeal for help on my Help The Podencos facebook page, from a young woman who had found two 15-day old podenco puppies abandoned, no sign of mother, she could have been stolen or killed. We appealed for someone to take them in – they would need regular bottle feeds to save them – and Jacky Hazeleger of Tanamera Rescue stepped in.

    Here’s the update from Jacky. She works tirelessly to save, foster and rehome many of Spain’s unwanted podencos, so if you can spare a little towards the cost of vaccinations etc for these two boys, she will be very grateful. Paypal address below.

    ‘Just letting you all know that Russell and Pablo, rescued from Canals 4 weeks ago are doing great. We had a bit of a struggle, but both are now healthy and happy. In two weeks they will need their first jabs, and more after ofcourse. Any little help for these fighters by paypal would be highly appreciated xxx paypal: tanamerajavea@gmail.com

    Thanks, Jacky from Tanamera Rescue‘
