  • Podenca Fliss – starving and lost in the UK

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    Some updates remind us why rescue matters… The Podenca I shared a few days ago from the pound in the UK is finally safe.  After seeing my post on Thursday, Pam McLeod from Podencos in Need – PINS immediately contacted the pound in Bradford. Today, they signed her over into Pam’s care.
    of Fliss when she was rescue.
    It was a long journey to freedom. Pam’s wonderful team member, Sandie, and her husband drove to collect her before meeting Pam and her husband in Carlisle, who then took her home to Scotland.  She has been given a beautiful new name… Felicity, or Fliss for short.
    Sadly, Fliss is one of the most severe cases of long-term neglect and abuse. From her microchip records, we know she is at least eight years old, and on Monday, when the veterinary college reopens, we hope to learn more about her history.

  • Salva un Podenco Gran Canaria – podenco rescue on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

    “Save a Podenco in Gran Canaria” is an animal shelter run by volunteers. Since 2017, we have been dedicated to the rescue, protection, and raising awareness about Podencos. Because they are used for hunting, Podencos are excluded from current animal protection laws, which makes it very difficult to help them.

    We rescue them, find them foster homes, and prepare them to be happy; to have a family that lasts them a lifetime. (more…)

  • Canary Island Podencos – a life of hell before rescue

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    Podencos in the Canary Islands suffer a hellish life – hidden away in dark buildings or in valleys far in the interior.  If lucky enough to be rescued and offered a home, their only chance is on mainland Europe or even the USA.  All this means expensive travel costs on top of the pet passport and blood tests costs.

  • Podenca Princessa hoping for a forever home in her twilight years

    No photo description available.

    Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.

    This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
    At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…)

    How can this little Podenco puppy be ignored, no one has asked for him. A shelter is no place for a puppy.  He’s 5 kilos, aged 8 months, is very loving.  He is in Huelva (Andalucia), but can travel in Spain.

  • Sign and Share the petition to reform the Spanish Penal Code

    ‘we are asking you to support this citizen initiative led by lawyer Xavi Abat, which calls for an urgent reform of the Penal Code. The goal is to ensure that the most severe cases of animal abuse result in actual prison sentences and other measures that permanently prevent abusers from ever owning animals again.’
