  • Podenco rescued from the shacks of Seville – anyone room for him?

    Macu old podenco 250 1 2012This old boy is another one rescued from the shanty town outside Seville. Here’s what Macu says about him.

    ‘I´ve taken another one out of the shacks settlement but it´s also really urgent. There are too many animals that need help and I´ve just taken out this poor one and a young female because they were the worse cases. I have too many in the residence (kennels) and I need help for this one.

    He´s an old male. He has a bone fracture and it´s for sure he will spend a lot of time at the residence and I can´t keep him there for so long.

  • Happy Endings Final Feliz – Fabi waits with them for a forever home

    Fabi 1 Eva Happy Ends 250 1 1 2012This is an appeal from Happy Endings Final Feliz in Chiclana near Cadiz. Last winter friends of mine spent a couple of months there helping the association with abandoned dogs and looking after them. They came back with two puppies which had been born to an abandoned podenca; now named Oliver and Nancy, the puppies are benefiting from being in a home environment, although Nancy continues to be nervous of strangers.

    Fabi is another such young dog, whose mother was a Podenca. Karen takes up his story.

    ‘He’s been waiting for nearly a year for someone to take him into their heart. He’s around 3 years old and is a very sweet dog.

  • Seville – the horror behind the glitter that tourists see

    Seville podenco 4 250 Macu 1 2012There are dozens of unsung heroes in Spain, helping the abandoned dogs and cats, funding much of their care themselves whilst working to earn a living. Macu is one such lady, in Seville. Some of the appeals I have posted on Galgo News and Podenco Post have been from her. Here she explains what she tries to do, and the problems she faces, like so many volunteers breed dogs.

    ‘Good afternoon everybody, I´ll try to summarize.
    In this settlement by Seville there are more or less 20 shacks with 30 dogs each one (with their owners). I´ve spent 3 years of my life there, saving galgos, podencos and mixed dogs none wanted by their owners.

  • Podenco Canario Lelo – in Lincolnshire waiting for his forever home

    SARA Lelo. crop 250 JPGHowever hard the rehoming associations work to fit the right dog with the right home, sometimes situations change and that happened for this stunning Podenco Canario from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Here’s what Rick says.

    ‘This stunning boy has been returned to us after only 5 months in his ‘forever’ home – and not because of anything HE did wrong! The reason given by the family is ‘we couldn’t spend enough time with him as we have started extra duties at church.’
