Holidays in Canary Islands? SARA Lanzarote needs your help
SARA Lanzarote (Canary Islands) have sent this story about this podenca bitch, yet another of life’s victims discarded by the hunters. Podencos are used on the Spanish islands for hunting rabbit, and suffer horrendous cruelty at the hands of the hunters, just like the galgos and podencos on mainland Spain. The only hope for the deserving dogs in the shelters on Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Ibiza, is to be adopted on the European mainland. Please bear them in mind when considering offering a forever home to a dog. Otherwise these dogs will spend their lives in the shelters.
SARA tells Mestiza’s story.

Dog Walking in Spain – Spanish law explained
A question was posed to me with regard to walking and exercising galgos in Spain. A reader was stopped by a hunter and told she was breaking the law by letting her two galgos run free, even though their recall was very good. So I put the question to someone I knew had experienced a similar problem. Andrew Hurrell was a founder of Noahs Arc association in Mazarron, and he explains the situation and Spanish law. You can read the full article here.

URGENT- young podencas on death row, Rioja, Logorno, 21 Jan is ‘die day’.
This appeal was sent out today (20.1.2012). I am not sure if the dogs have had a reprieve, I think they may be killed tomorrow 21/1, rather than 19/1. So I’m sending out the appeal for help for them. A Kennel or foster home urgently needed so they can be got out. We’re talking about Rioja and Logrono immediately.
Dora is a small young podenca, nervous, hasn’t known affection. When she advances, she is very sweet, just needs a loving home to be a star.
Moka (below) is another young female podenca. She is skinny, her eyes are fearful, she doesn’t trust. And yet, if she could be rescued now, she will bloom, put on weight and her coat will shine. She will show the joy of life she deserves.
If anyone can take them now, contact ar.difusionperrera@gmail.com

Valencia Podenco Andaluz puppy, rescued injured & starving – can you take him into your heart and home?
Look at this cute little podenco, less than a year old, found wandering through a ravine with a broken tail and a femur fracture of a hind leg. The leg hung loose, like a rag doll’s leg. He was a skeleton, totally malnourished, with a sore eye and bore injuries on his nose and neck. He’s been called Aradio by his saviours.
The vet says Aradio has wandered for weeks with his leg dangling, possibly hit by a car. Understandably he was very scared of being caught but couldn’t run far with his injured leg.

Podenco Iggy in Granada – urgently needs a foster/adopting home before end January
I’ve received this urgent plea today. ‘My partner and I need URGENT HELP since we’ve been fostering two dogs, 1 of them a 12 months Andalusian Podenco, whilst trying to find a permanent home for them.
Our urgent situation is we have to leave Spain for personal reasons and we are moving at the beginning of February from a house we rent and cannot take the dogs with us to the UK or continue to foster them much longer, because we will be staying as guests in houses and our near future is quite uncertain.

Podenco rescued from the shacks of Seville – anyone room for him?
This old boy is another one rescued from the shanty town outside Seville. Here’s what Macu says about him.
‘I´ve taken another one out of the shacks settlement but it´s also really urgent. There are too many animals that need help and I´ve just taken out this poor one and a young female because they were the worse cases. I have too many in the residence (kennels) and I need help for this one.
He´s an old male. He has a bone fracture and it´s for sure he will spend a lot of time at the residence and I can´t keep him there for so long.
