  • Saved from the streets of Seville – Podenca Andaluz needs help

    Macu podenca May 1 250 2012This lovely young Podenca Andaluz, less than a year old, was rescued from the streets of Seville by Macu, with a rope around her neck, and a scalibor collar on, which she had obviously had to wear since a small puppy because it was infected with bugs etc. Naturally she is very fearful of humans, and is in a kennels, where the staff sadly don’t have time to rehabilitate her.

    She currently has a liver problem from her condition and therefore needs a special diet, plus needing vaccinations etc.

    Macu is desperate to find a foster home for her and also desperately needs funds to pay for the kennels, food, medication, preparing her EU vaccination. macu19782010@hotmail.com Paypal donations to macu19782010@hotmail.com

    ‘This little fellow is Julian the Podenco. Last October a Canadian lady named Robin Waldman visited two shelters in Spain. One was suggested by GRIN, near Sevilla, called FBM (Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert). Robin volunteered there and soon met a galgo named Iker that she decided would come back home with her in the Spring.

    In the meantime she also met a Podenco named Julian who also won her heart. He had been waiting for so long, no one asked for him.
