It’s obvious that the hunting season in Spain is now drawing to a close. Perreras overflowing with hunting dogs, podencos, galgos, pointers…as well as thousands of other beautiful dogs – young ones, old ones – confused as to why they have been dumped. Podencos are used in very large number for hunting particularly in Valencia and the high kill perrera is overflowing. Below are some of the poor souls there, including 2 taken by the hunter himself, so can be killed any day, and a couple born in 2005 obviously used for breeding.

Podenca Chir in Valencia needs a foster or forever home
Introducing Chir – she needs a home rather than going to a shelter.
Kris says ‘Just before Christmas a friend answered the call for help of the animal shelter SPAX from Xativa (Valencia ) to give Chir, a podenco of about two years old, a temporary home. Irela herself as a matter of fact needs a lot of help, she is a single, unemployed secondary school teacher and without unemployment (yes, that’s quite normal here in Spain ) and already needs to feed a family consisting of two dogs and two cats. Nevertheless she showed her big heart. And my wife and I (not really in a comfortable economical situation either) stepped in and bought the necessary food to get the more than skinny Chir back on her feet.

Sun, sea and accommodation in Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Laura writes from The Kennel Klub, Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
‘Lanzarote is a small island and we have a very limited area in which to re-home dogs. Unfortunately that does not mean of course that dogs are not abandoned. We are a legally registered association and in the nearly 18 months we have been running we have re-homed 107 dogs.
We don’t have a refuge and save many dogs from the perrera, which means they go into kennels before going to foster homes or lucky enough to be adopted.

He has already been in court but the punishment did not fit the crime. He is now out there again looking for dogs. Take care and don’t forget his face.

MY DOGS LIVE HERE
Posted on my facebook page, No author’s name.
My dogs live here; they’re here to stay.
You don’t like pets, be on your way.
They share my home, my food, my space.
This is their home, this is their place.You will find dog hair on the floor,
They will alert you’re at the door.
They may request a little pat,
A simple “no” will settle that.
