  • Dumped on a Spanish street, podenco puppy now winning prizes

    Jazzy pup 1 250 Bev  4 3012This gorgeous little podenco puppy was thrown from a car onto the street. Luckily uninjured, she was rescued and is now in the safe hands of Bev Farmer, who is earning a well-deserved reputation for training podencos to prepare them for finding forever homes. Here’s the story of Jazzy so far.

    ‘Another post on Facebook, another Podenco dumped, this time thrown out of a car without any consideration what would happen to this puppy. At 7am Michelle heard a car racing off and a dog screaming. Her first thought was that a dog had been seriously hurt. She rushed out of her house to see a puppy on the street shaking in fear and covered in oil. Her front claws were ripped, a classic sign of having been dragged along by a car.

  • A bird’s eye view on Spain , animals and owners!

    Prohitited_to_Abandon_250 PosterI’ve received the following article which is quite thought provoking.

    Spain is a country which is on now its knees. It’s gone from dictatorship to good presidency and bringing a country up on form and being recognised as a good place to be. From there, the previous government to the current one, the latter was voted in December 2011, brought bad practices into its own when they took over. The country became run down, the people suffer, but as always, the politicians walk away with clean hands and a tidy pension until death. To compound the negative results of that government’s actions, Spain was hit with the Global crisis.

    Macu podenca 1 250 4 2012This is another plea for help from Macu in Seville, who rescues podencos from a gypsy settlement – Chaplin, Tecla, and several others featured on Podenco Post.
