Podencos on death row in Mairena perrera, Sevilla
Many years ago I wrote about the horrendous conditions for the dogs in Mairena perrera, near Seville. For a while the volunteers were refused access because of the photos which were published. volunteers now have access to the dogs again.
Maria says ‘There are currently 12 podencos at Mairena’s dog pound. This is one of the worst dog pounds in Spain. The dogs are not fed properly, they are sick and nobody cares, the dogs are not euthanasied properly (they don’t use the normal “stuff” and the dog takes forever to die), “galgueros” (hunters) are VIP visitors and can adopt all the dogs they want… Please, help them.’

Podenco Andaluz Solo – seeking his forever home and family
Introducing handsome podenco Solo, who is with Bev Farmer. He’s desperate for a family and a loving home to call his own for the rest of his life. Can you find a place for him? Bev Farmer describes his character.
‘This is Solo he has been at Pepis Refuge since he first wandered into their gates as a puppy back in 2008.
For some reason no one has shown any interest in him, it’s such a shame that he has not had a family of his own for 5 years.
To help out Solo has come to us and he is a super Podenco very friendly loves to play with the other dogs very quick to learn and wants to please. He is a really affectionate dog and not a loner and at night time he sits on Warre’sn lap while Warren’s drinking a beer or two.
I think he will be brilliant at agility and we will start with some training with him. He has his passport up to date vaccinations, blood tested and negative and is castrated. Thank you to Beryl who sponsored Solo and organised for him to travel to us.
To adopt Solo please email me; podencofriends@hotmail.co.uk‘

A member of the group explains. (Google translation)
SOS RESCUE ANIMALS SEVILLA was initiated by a group of people who met through social networks.
Each of us had particularly struggled against neglect and animal abuse, but the plight we lived in mid-2011 in the province of Seville made us speak out a very clear purpose: UNITED WE CAN AVOID.
We felt strong, motivated and quite sure how to do so in just over a week to form the group of volunteers that is still running with the same members and the same illusion.
They have no shelter, but that has not stopped to save more than 200 animals, cats and dogs, home found through the efforts of SOS RESCUE ANIMALS SEVILLA and the help of many anonymous people who contribute their bit by hosting , amadrinando, spreading, making donations, helping to transfer …
Because so many people are needed because stray animals need all the help, because, because now is the time to join hands to eradicate this form of abuse cruel.
I am part of the group and Teaming SEVILLA SOS ANIMAL RESCUE , a form of “microdonación” periodically which I contribute only 1 euro a month, not much for us, but it will be very valuable to save the lives of these animals.
Join group you just take a couple of minutes you will have the certainty that you donate each month euro comes in full to those who need it most, without commissions and effectively managed.
Click here and follow the instructions to join his group Teaming. (It’s in Spanish)
