  • Podenca Tula – waiting at Scooby Valladolid for her forever home

    Scooby Tula.crop 250 JPGThis beautiful podenca is Tula; she’s in the Scooby Residencia Valladolid, which I visited recently on my latest trip to Spain. Tula is a very timid, quiet Podenca Andaluz who came to Scooby from a perrera in Sevilla where they were going to euthanise her.

    She is about 2 years old and has the most beautiful, but sad eyes. She is very timid but gains confidence when she sees the same person regularly. Then she comes to you and you can touch and pet her without problem. As shelter is not the place for her, where she sits in a corner, trembling because of all the strangers she sees. She is not afraid of other dogs, they give her a bit more confidence.

    Macu Luna 9 2012 250This is Podenca Luna, 7 months old, rescued by Macu. She is now in a foster home preparing for a forever home. She’s a medium size Podenca Andaluz and is young enough to train in obedience and agility, if you would like a dog with energy and loyalty. If you would like to offer Luna a forever home, contact Macu. Or Marisa for English speakers.

    And don’t forget adorable Billy – I would so love to have him in my canine family, but 5 dogs is more than enough expense! He’s a small Podenco Andaluz, but these little guys have huge personalities and are a lot of fun to own.

  • Podenco Inca in Murcia rescued – but another in Hellin perrera due to die on 28 Sept!

    Inca 1 - Bev 9 2012 250
    This is Inca, and Bev Farmer tells his story.

    ‘We were alerted that a Podenco was in a perrera so arranged to go collect him. On arrival one of the staff just got him out of the kennel and told us to go now and return in a couple of hours and complete the paper work. We bundled him into the car and drove off with no idea what was going on. On returning they told us a gypsy had reserved him the day before and was on his way to take him, so if we had been 15 minutes later, it could have been a very different story for Inca.

  • Cordoba – Podenco Bonito – saved from the streets

    Bonita 250Outside of the city centres of Spain, it is very frequent to see an abandoned dog wandering around, or in a ditch, or knocked down at the side of a road, or already dead.

    This young podenca was the latest find by this volunteer. Here’s what she says.

    We have called her Bonita. She was found undernourished, dehydrated and from the state of her breast, she has obviously just been used for breeding. She has a lot scars, an ancient one which could be the result of a trap, we’re not sure.

    We even do not know if the vet will be able to save it, at present she is on daily medication, and will see in a few days is it improves. The problem is there there is no sensitivity in the leg.
