  • Podenca Andaluz Bebe – a hard day playing on the beach!

    Bebe asleep 190A couple of weeks ago we took our latest foster galgo to the UK to his forever home. After 15 months with foster dogs, we are back to our own 4 permanent residents. So we decided to take them to the beach at the weekend. Les Conches is on the west coast of France, just above the port of La Rochelle. There is little habitation and miles and miles of sandy beach. It was a glorious day, wall-to-wall blue skies and the dogs loved it. The galgas ran free for the first time, although we didn’t risk letting little Podenca Andaluz Bebe off the long lead. But she paddled and jumped waves and enjoyed herself just as much as the others.

    As Bebe is such a little bundle of energy (she is a miniature Podenca Andaluz), it’s not very often that she is completely tired out – but a day at the beach proved more than enough – as you can see from the photo of her fast asleep on the sofa next to me!

  • Podenco Campanero Chaplin – a big softy looking for his forever family

    Chaplin 2 250 Campanero 10 2011
    This is Chaplin, a large curly-haired Campanero podenco in Seville. He was found in a bad state, with anaemia, ear, eye and skin infection, one ear deformed. He has also suffered burns. Luckily he was saved and treated by a vet, and has been in foster. But now he needs to find his forever family, or another foster home, as there are already too many dogs in the home.

    He is now well, a loving gentle boy, good with other dogs, desires nothing more than regular meals, kind caring hands, a comfy bed and company. Can you give this big boy his forever.

  • Podenca Canario Mami – saved from starvation on Gran Canaria

    Mami 1 Peter Pod 250 09 2011 It’s easy to overlook that the popular holiday desinations of Ibiza and the Canary Islands are also part of Spain. Whilst Ibiza is quite close to the mainland, the Canary Islands are down in the Atlantic off the coast of West Africa. Life on these islands is hard for the animals – many used by tourists – whilst hundreds of others are used for hunting. Luckily there are rescue associations picking up the pieces, but the only hope of a life for an animal outside an animal shelter or refuge is to be adopted on mainland Europe.

    This is the story of Mami, a Podenco Canario, whose mouth was taped up before she was dumped in the mountains on Gran Canaria, abandoned to a slow and painful death.
