Two young podencos,Cotton is only 5 months old, the other is only 8 months old, in Rioja perrera, due to be killed first week April Please contact animalesrioja@gmail.com. Cotton is the white one, Lupita is the white/brown. Two stunning podencos with their whole life before them – surely?

From Seville to England – Podenco Campanero Chaplin finds paradise
In October 2011 I received an appeal from Macu in Seville. She works hard to rescue mainly podencos from a gypsy enclave. One of the podencos was a big hair boy which she called Chaplin, a Podenco Campanero, the type used for hunting boar. I posted an appeal for someone to take Chaplin into their hearts and he was spotted by a PP reader, Norma, in Scotland. She is a volunteer with SOS Animals and had enlisted their agreement to Chaplin being taken under their wing.
Macu doesn’t speak English so initially Norma and I had a problem communicating with Macu, whereupon I enlisted the help of my friend Marisa, who acted as translator and mediator. A foster home was found for Chaplin and SOS Animals and Macu began the pocess of preparing him for entry into the UK. In February 2012 he travelled from Spain to the UK with Ruso, another podenco from Macu.

Canary Islands, SARA Protectora – help the hounds on the Spanish Islands
I can’t emphasise enough about the podencos on the Spanish Islands, Canary Islands and Ibiza. Their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe. Please don’t overlook these deserving hounds when you are thinking of taking a podenco into your home.
These two beauties are in the care of SARA Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
Milka is about 6 years old, a large podenco canario, and was found abandoned with her sistenr in the volcano on Lanzarote. She’s not much of a hunter, prefers to be with people, loving and obediante, walks without being on a lead. A fantastic hound for a companion dog. She is very good and happy

Reflections on the Bullas, Murcia, rescue on 9th March 2012 – 120 dogs
Regular readers will have been following the two large rescues carried out in Murcia in January and February 2012, namely at a gypsy camp with 74 dogs, and Bullas with 120 dogs. Vivienne Wharton lives near Cartegena, Murcia and has written about her experiences with the Bullas rescue on 9th March 2012.
The shame in Spain
I recently started my activities in a facebook group – Animal Welfare Support Murcia, whilst waiting for my Association, Actin, to be registered by the Town Hall. Actin – Animal Care Treatment International Network is not a rescue charity but an Association which will endeavor to make changes to the overwhelming situation of abandoned and neglected dogs, cats and other domestic animals in the region. We plan to do this through many activities including education and campaigns.

Gerena, Seville – abandoned podenco desperately needs help
This podenco is on the outskirts of Gerena, Seville. It’s about 12 kg and very young, is wounded in its neck by the wide collar on it, which has a bell!. It’s huddling under these large sones out of the heat. Scared, it hides in the hush when approached. There is a girl putting food out to try and gain its trust – she’s called the dog Campanillo. An extra problem, if he can’t be caught soon, is that he will grow and the collar will cut into the flesh of its neck.
Is there anyone, especially an association, in the area who could help catch this podenco? Contact: natisabe@hotmail.com
