Lynn Pauludros lives in Northern France and works tirelessly to help the Spanish galgos and podencos, adopting some herself. Many podencos get caught in vicious metal snares and end up needing a leg amputation – I’ve brought several out myself with the L’Europe des Levriers team.

Lynn has appealed for help to pay the vet bill for this little podenca to have a hind leg amputation, please donate a little if you can.

On the many journeys I have made into Spain on rescues, to bring galgos and podencos back to France for foster and homing, there have been several tripod podencos. These poor hounds often get onto land where illegal metal snares have been set. This is an example of what can happen, although it’s know know how this poor podenco ended up in such a state. But rest assured, she has been rescued and is in the vet clinic. Here’s the story.

‘She’s already rescued and has been named Camila after Santa Camila, the day of rescue and hopefully Santa Camila will protect her. She has been operated on and is recovering well with a good prognosis. She will stay for a few days in the veterinary clinic of Chiclana Avila Forner, Cadiz.

This poor little podenco is Bobby-New-Butt?

‘1. This little boy is ferral born and was saved from one of the worst perreras a few months ago near Malaga when he and his pack was caught by the authorities. Hence he is super shy of people.

2, As his name suggests Bobby quite literally needed a new bum. Once Bobbies new bum healed and worked fine we were all relaxed and happy. But from one day to an other he showed discomfort and pain and headed down a slippery slope very quickly to screaming every time had to do a poo.

We ordered numerous tests and X-rays and blood works to figure out what was wrong but all came back negative and Bobby was getting worse and worse.

After tragically losing Henrick Whiteface his packmate to a freak accident I could not believe we may lose this little boy too.

So the endoscopy was ordered and it didn’t come back pretty.
