    From Hope For Podencos

    Deejay is every bit as striking as he is sweet. A graceful Podenco Ibicenco with movie star looks, he trots around like a show pony and has completely stolen the hearts of everyone who’s met him.  Rescued after being found stray, Deejay has shown us what a lovely, balanced young lad he is. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he knows you, his affectionate nature shines through and he’ll make a wonderfully loyal companion.  He’s fantastic with other dogs and absolutely loves to play.

    The little Podenco Ibicenco girl who walked into the rescue center a few days ago with her tiny backpack is doing really well..  She was diagnosed with meningitis earlier, but thankfully the medication is doing its job and she’s improving every single day.  Our brave little girl is clearly a true fighter.

  • Does your dog talk to you?

    Some dogs are more vocal than others.  I’m not talking about barking, whether it be as an alarm because someone is at the door, orbarking in play.  I’m talking about your dog talking to you.  My Podenco Rosie loves carrying one of her toys in her mouth, especially when I’ve been out and return home.  She nakes a lovely soft growly noise, tail wagging furiosly, for anything up to 2 or 3 minutes.  I love it, and of course talk back to her!

    From Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.

    It is so important that people hear about the struggles we face in rescue with the Podencos. Blanca’s tragic loss was devastating, but I hope her life was not in vain. Her legacy lives on in every Podenco we have gone on to rescue since.

    The perrera where Blanca came from is located deep in the countryside of the Valencia region, where many hunters keep Podencos. For many years, unwanted dogs have been handed in there when they are no longer considered useful. (more…)

  • Dog poisoning – what to do

    As we all know, dogs will scavenge and eat a multitude of things they pick up.  Some of these can be infected or in some cases in the garden, poisonous.  They generally should know what to steer clear of eating, but not always.

  • Podenco Campanero – the big podenco of Spain

    No photo description available.

    Introducing the Podenco Campanero and his crosses. A large-sized Andalusian podenco often crossed with Portuguese, Ibizenco or little-known mastiff and like so many podencos in Spain, also mistreated and humiliated for being part of the rehalas in the main hunt. Most of them are invisible because they remain their whole lives locked up in hunters’ kennels where they live crowded without seeing much sunlight.
    They’re called BELLERS because on hunting days where they go in a hurry harassing the prey, a bell was placed around their necks…

  • Stunning Podenca Flamenca hoping for a forever retirement home

    Video

    How often have we heard it?  A podenco chucked out by their hunter after a lifetime of devotion.

    12 year old Flamenca deserves to live our the rest of her life knowing comfort, regular food and love.  Contact Hope for Podencos if you can offer her such a home.

  • Podenco Babu is looking for a forever home

    Video

    You can read the story of why Babu is looking for a new forever home on this weblink.

    We all take on our pets – be they dogs, cats, rabbits, horses – hoping that they will live their lives out with us.  But we never know what is round the corner – ill health, a sudden death, loss of a rented home.  And it can be heartbreaking for the adopter to have to make a decision to part with their beloved pet and find a new home for them.  It’s also confusing for the animal, but most adapt much quicker than the person who has had to hand over their pet.

    Lets hope that the next home for Babu is the only one he will ever have.
