Podencos make good agility dogs without even trying!
From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.
‘Why a minimu 2m high fence/wall is required if adopting a podenco. This fence is 1.2m high and the podenco just pops over it with minimal effort.’

Injured and terrified podenca needing help
From Alex Hein.
Video of podenca needing help
Please help us to help.
This Podenca is still quite shy. The plan is to get her to the point that curiosity (and food stimulus) draws on and she goes into a live trap. After that she should be castrated and urgently also seen what’s going on with her leg.
Please share our project so that we can castrate numerous stray dogs and also have enough food available.
You can see how narrow most of the animals are. -
Protectora Scooby now 30 years old
Although this is a video from when Scooby was 25 years old, nothing has changed apart from some of the animals! The abandonment of hunting dogs, the cruelty to animals in Spain never changes and yet the Scooby team are always there to help. Please support them.Report and video from Protectora Scooby Palencia which, along with Scooby Zamorra, were the 2 latest shelters to open.
(Translation) ‘Summer is usually a difficult time for animal protectors, since the number of abandoned dogs increases with the holidays. This year, for the moment, fewer dropouts have been registered in Palencia than in previous campaigns, which suggests that society is becoming more aware. But there is still a long way to go, especially when it comes to acquiring a pet. For many, buying an animal is a whim that contributes to increasing the problem. Adopting, on the other hand, can be the solution and gives these animals a second chance.’
And a video of a visit to Protectora Scooby Medina by a young French woman and her father. Note the white podenco sitting in a hole. This is often the ‘bed’ for hounds which are chained outside.

In Valencia – an older Podenca hoping for a forever home
I adopted Rosely 18 months ago. She was 9 years old but very lively and loves long walks, and has a dog-wagging tail – it never stops unless she is frightened!In Valencia. ‘This is an older girl hoping for a forever home. Female, she had no chip, older and very scared, she will be about 8 or 9 years old, found in Llombai, very scared, but then she is a treasure. It’s clear she’s had bad experiences.
She urgently needs a foster home or, even better, a forever home. She doesn’t deserve to end up in a cage. We named her Pinky.
Contact or visit our shelter in Modepran Carlet’

Advice – Canine Brucellosis
From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.
‘Canine Brucellosis, this is relevant to anyone in the UK that has adopted a dog from overseas .. please read
There have been a number of reports of some veterinary Clinics in the UK that any one that has brought a dog into the UK from overseas. They are now insisting it is tested for Brucellosis before they are willing to treat it .. I have attached a link below from an article from the British Veterinary Association recommending protocols ti be put in place ..
This will also include breeders importing dogs and possibly people who travel overseas with their dogs..
My concern is your dog needs emergency treatment and it is delayed until the blood results are back, it may be too late.
Asking some of our adopters it seems that the private practices are not making this request but the bigger practices that are owned by companies are doing so. Even dogs that have been in the UK for a number of years with no symptoms.
