  • Podenco dead on his feet – safe with Little Pod Foundation – seeking forever?

    Alfred 1 250This is Alfred he was found collapsed in the blazing sun in a remote area of the campo on Friday the 25th May. He was one lucky Podenco found by Manuela and her friends out cycling. He was so exhausted that he couldn’t even raise his head to drink some water. Thankfully they picked him up and took him to a local vet who then contacted Little Pod Foundation.

    On Friday we were very concerned, not only was he covered in ticks and fleas, his pads were ripped to shreds and very swollen, but most worrying he was unable to stand up.

    Amazingly 72 hours later we see a different dog, what a recovery Alfred has made. He is negative for Leishmania, filaria and ehrlichia, has his passport and is ready to travel.

  • Saved from the streets of Seville – Podenca Andaluz needs help

    Macu podenca May 1 250 2012This lovely young Podenca Andaluz, less than a year old, was rescued from the streets of Seville by Macu, with a rope around her neck, and a scalibor collar on, which she had obviously had to wear since a small puppy because it was infected with bugs etc. Naturally she is very fearful of humans, and is in a kennels, where the staff sadly don’t have time to rehabilitate her.

    She currently has a liver problem from her condition and therefore needs a special diet, plus needing vaccinations etc.

    Macu is desperate to find a foster home for her and also desperately needs funds to pay for the kennels, food, medication, preparing her EU vaccination. macu19782010@hotmail.com Paypal donations to macu19782010@hotmail.com
