Mommy is only 2 years old and her children are 1 year old. Mom got caught after giving birth to her 7 puppies and this is how they came to the Foundation.

  • Another tiny Podenca Mildred hoping for a forever home

    Mildred 400 10 2024
    MILDRED, 4 years old, petite podenca of 9kg. OK CATS

    Localization: At the shelter in Spain and adoptable throughout France and bordering countries, she will be brought back to France by an animal transporter

    She is a very affectionate with adults and children. She gets along with all her peers regardless of size, as well as cats.
    Mildred walks perfectly on leash and is not scared or car sick.

    She’s a pretty active little bitch, not surprising for a podenca. This will be the perfect bitch for an active family to enjoy games and walks with. Hope she finds her forever quickly!

    Are you interested in MILDRED?

  • Walking through the Camp by Marta Navarro Garcia – against hunting with Podencos and Galgos

    Plataforma galgos pic 400

    From Plataforma NAC

    The minor hunting season begins and with it starts hell for thousands of hunting dogs in Spain.
    One more year we watch helplessly how they are used as mere tools and how they are discarded, broken, injured, hungry and, in the worst case, lifeless.

    In these moments of sorrow, we share the wonderful poem by Marta Navarro Garcia read at the protest on February 6, 2022

    WALKING THROUGH THE CAMP

    I have seen death looking for my friends,
    hundreds of winged beings,
    of deer, of wild boars,
    of rabbits, of partridges,
    of greyhounds, of Podencos.

  • Tiny Podenca Tita hoping for a forever home

    Tita 400 10 2024
    I adore these tiny podencos, they have such huge characters. This is an older little lady who should spend the rest of her years in a forever home, knowing love and a warm soft bed. My little Bebe lived to be over 17 years old so there are plenty more years ahead for Tita.

    Tita is a small, sweet female dog of about 12 years old, who has been at the shelter for four long years. Her previous owner, a hunter, sadly passed away, leaving Tita without a home.

    Despite her tough time at the shelter, Tita remains a social and affectionate dog, who loves attention and cuddles. She gets along well with other dogs, cats and older children, making her a great housemate. With her gentle character and friendly personality,
    Tita deserves a warm and loving home where she can spend her golden years. She’s completely fine: chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized, and patiently waiting for the chance to be loved again.

  • SOS Galgos – protest against the Spanish Animal Protection Act 7/2023

    SOS Galgos campaign 400 10 2024
    SOS GALGOS (oficial)

    One year after its implementation, we protest the Animal Protection Act 7/2023, a law that denies hunting greyhounds rights and sentences them to a lifetime of suffering. Come on, that’s a f*cking law.

    Become a partner to protect the greyhound from this unfair law!

    Protest with us by sharing the campaign so that everyone knows what is happening with the greyhound.

  • Investigation into the high rise of vet fees in UK and USA

    Pet owners in both the UK and US have felt the impact of the high rise in vet charges over the past several years and it’s not the vets who are benefiting from the increase. Having said that, are they benefiting from selling out their practices to speculative companies who have nothing to do with animals and thereby benefiting in that respect? Basically, to me, it all boils down to human greed, and pet owners and animals are suffering as a consequence.

    Below are links to 2 articles which are looking at the problem.

  • CACWGAS – calling keen campers in the UK – camping with your galgos and podencos

    CACWGAS logo 400
    We have caravanned for decades but not been able to take our Spanish hounds with us as we always had too many – usually 4 or 5. Now reluctantly back in the UK from France and down to 2 hounds, last year we took our podencos caravanning with us. Wondering how to contain them on a huge campsite, I found a wonderful facebook group which members gave me lots of suggestions and help.

    The group has a website which is full of information plus during the year Dave Landey, the admin, organises 4 big meets where all sighthound passionatas can join together and share companionship and fun with their dogs.

  • Young Canary Islands Podenca deserate for a forever home

    Kalima 400 2024
    There are so many dogs hoping for forever homes, it’s getting harder and harder now. Especially as the galgueros keep breeding podencos and galgos every year. Here is a beauty hoping for a forever home.

    ‘Often we whisper in the ears of the dogs, we are trying to find you a home, and then it is a very big matter of the heart.
    Kalima was different. She already had someone want to adopt her and everything seemed perfect. But at the last second, the man had just disappeared. Had we known this, we would never have taken little Kalima out of the Perrera, but given her a chance to be seen by more people.
