These little chaps were abandoned together, found dehydrated and with a skin infection, for which they have received veterinary treatment. The two young women who are caring for them need to find a foster/adoption home for them before 3rd September, as they are moving into rented accommodation where they can’t take the pups. The boys have been named Wilson and House ( don’t ask!) Please contact 685429447 (Dani) o el 615447713 (Bárbara), http://facebook.com/podencosconil. Please also only associations, as the puppies don’t yet have a pet passport.

Podenca Beatrize – from Valencia to Devon, UK – settling in well.
At the beginning of July, I posted the story of Beatriz, a podenca rescued from Spain and now enjoying a new life in Devon. 6 weeks on, her Mom has written an update on her progress.
‘Having rescued beautiful podenca Beatriz from a little private rescue in Ontinyent, Spain, two months ago to a small farm in Devon, UK, she is now almost unrecognisable, temperament wise. She is still a little timid, especially with male strangers, but like all things, this will take time.

Albacete perrera, Spain – over 200 dogs due to be pts now!
Last week I posted a comment from a volunteer in Spain, that many perreras kill ALL the dogs in August, because they want to close down completely for the holidays. Well, Albacete Perrera is going to do just that. Over 200 dogs are due to be pts any time now! Several of them are beautiful young podencos.
L’Europe des Levriers is the French association with whom I have travelled to Spain on many rescue missions. One of the refuges they work with is in Albacete. But they can’t cope with this massive programme of euthanasia.
If there any associations who can help with taking any of the podencos, please contact Alicia on edl.alicia@gmail.com

A Weak Moment – a Tale of Life with a Spanish hunter…
It’s a common sight on mainland Europe to see hunters in their vehicles, with a small box trailer towing their hunting dogs, squashed in, hardly room to breathe. In Spain, that country well known for sensible laws – I must be joking! – hunters merrily drive around transporting their dogs like that. Yet people licensed legally to transport dogs and cats can be targeted by the authorities. No doubt these authorities are hunters too. We all know they look after their own.

Helping a chained dog
There is a belief in Europe that guard dogs should be chained up. There is also a belief in Europe that any dog can be chained up, many of them without even shelter. I see it here in France – a border collie chained up in a farmyard particularly angers me. Podencos also suffer this maltreatment and Aaniferira, a Portuguese animal rescue association, have published a piece about dealing with the problem. You can read more about it here.

Urgent, Benisa, Alicante – hunter threatens to kill his podenca
I received this yesterday and circulated it to associations. I’m desperately hoping someone has taken her to safety. Basically her bastard hunter has said he doesn’t want her and so he’s going to kill her. She’s 5 years old and in Alicante.

Two podenco puppies urgently needing places to go – preferably not kennels.
This young podenco living rough on the streets of Cordoba. Refuges are still full to overflowing. a volunteer has been feeding this little chap, but he is very fearful. He is very skinny, very young, weighs only about 5 kilos. He is in danger now of being trapped by hunters or gypsies for use for hunting again. Please has anyone room to take him, to save him before it is too late. Contact mujerpetirroja@gmail.com
I hope someone can take him, he’s so tiny, smaller than my little Bebe
