  • Sinking in Seville – save the hounds from the galgueros

    Macu Kika 250 11 2012Immaculada – also known as Inma and Macu – of Seville does incredible work rescuing animals off the street and from a settlement of galgueros nearby. She deals with the vet, paying kennel fees, appeals to associations to help foster and rehome these hounds. Many of them I have featured on PP – including big hairy Podenco Campanero Chaplin, now happily rehomed in the UK with the help of SOS Animals. She’s currently got 9 podencos and 1 galgo, to name just 10!

    Macu has sent this appeal. ‘It is very bad here, I have many animals that depend on me and to make matters worse I have no computer, I thought it was the hotmail account, and changed it to g.mail and even so, it is the computer…so I’m at my brother’s house using his computer, but I cannot connect and answer as fast as before.

    Here I send you a link of a blog, so you can see all the animals that I have in my charge.

  • Urgent Help – injured podenca and babies on Murcia Industrial estate

    Murcia podenca baby 200 10 11 2012Urgent appeal for anyone with room to take this injured podenca and her pups – there are at least 4 little puppies. It’s cold and wet. They are on an industrial estate in Murcia, along with a cream male – the 2nd video shows the difference where people will feed a dog if it’s not a podenco or galgo! The volunteer who took the photos has nowhere to take them, so please contact urgently maria.adopcion.animal@gmail.com

  • Seville & Valencia – young podencos needing homes

    Sevillel podenco 250 9 11 2012Two young podencos desperately needing foster and forever homes. The young male Ibicenco is no good at hunting, so the hunter is going to kill him along with a couple of Breton Spaniels who he says also are no good as hunters. Please, can anyone take him, he’s only 2 years old. He looks thin and frightened. He’s in Entity, a village in Seville. Contact
    loli.difundo@gmail.com

    And this white beauty, Nana, is only 3 months old, found in the middle of a road in Poblet, Valencia. She is so good, quiet, submissive but cheerful. Seems good with cats, loves other dogs and people. The appeal for a forever home for little Nana, as the foster home is only temporary and she will have to go to a shelter, which is no good for a puppy. Contact m12casom@uco.es jose@uco.e

  • Arrecife, Lanzarote – SARA Protectora Podenco Publicity Day!

    SARA Lanzarote even 190t 24 11 2012I’m catching up on posts, as have been away on holiday for a week with my son and grandsons. Here’s a marvellous event which is much needed in the Canary Islands where the podencos have a very hard life, and local people need to know what marvellous pets they can make.

    SARA Lanzarote are organising an event on 24th November at Arrecife, and hope that it’s not too late for podenco associations elsewhere and on mainland Spain to organise something at the same time. Here’s the report from SARA Lanzarote.

  • Update from Cordoba University Vet School on Podenca Tanke

    Good news about podenca Tanke from Laura, the vet student at Cordoba University. They have taken an x-ray of Tanke’s lung and it is clear, she hasn’t got metastisis. They also have enough money to operate on her next Monday (29/10) and will keep us up to date. If everything goes ok, Laura says Tanke will be ready for adoption by the middle of December.

  • Podenco Andaluz Vida – beating the bastard who tried to kill her!

    Vide after operationj 200 23 10 2012Update on Vida after the operation – incredible what these hounds – and the galgos – survive! Foster home urgently needed to continue with medical care and rehabilitation. It’s at times like this I wish I had a small house in Spain to use for this purpose!

  • Podenca Ibicenco, Valencia – safe foster/adopting home wanted

    Valencia Limba 250 3 10 2012Yet another injured, in Valencia. She’s not a year old yet and from what I can make out of the Internet translator, she was bred by a hunter, ran off at the first shots, was picked up by another hunter where the same thing happened. So now she desperately needs a place of safety, where her leg can be examined and treated. She’s been named Limba. The association need to find somewhere safe for her within the next couple of weeks.

    PLEASE! We need help! A godfather to pay her costs in a residence, an association to take her, French, German, whatever. Contact: tereadoptasalvaunavida@gmail.com or 645784096

  • Podenco Nika, still waiting for a foster home through no fault of his own.

    And Nika – still desperate for a foster home to convalesce. Please can someone take him to nurse him back to health. I’m putting this appeal out again, even though a friend of mine contacted SVPAP initially and offered to take him, She was told he was sorted out, and has now taken on another injured podenco to rehabilitate. This is a contact who speaks English, if anyone reading can help Nika. jharmu@hotmail.com

    SVPSP have serious financial problems and are in danger of being closed down, which means about 500 animals in their care would lose their security of an association, Nika included. They have an appeal for help on Facebook, I’ve just made a donation. Let’s all try and help them by getting Nika in a foster home.

  • Madrid – foster home urgently needed for podenca Vida to be nursed to recovery

    Update on Vida, the podenco found in the trash bin, with a badly injured body.

    The podenca weights about 10 kilos and is about a year old. All the skin on her neck had been removed down to muscle. She is in the vet clinic but desperately needs a foster home to convalesce and recover, and continue medical treatment. Please contact urgently

  • University Vet Students lend a hand in Cordoba

    Tanke street 10 2012 250Laura writes from Cordoba. ‘We are some students of veterinary medicine in Cordoba (Spain) and 2 weeks ago we found an old female podenco here. This is the story……..please help us:

    This is Tanke, she is a female Podenco Andaluz dog about 10 years old. She is educated, really lovely and obedient.

    She was found battered and abandoned 2 weeks ago in Cordoba (Spain). When we found her, she had a huge wound where the microchip was before. Now she is cured…..but during the veterinary examination, it was discovered that she has crystalline sclerosis and retinal atrophy, so she will lose sight gradually.
