In partnership with Urgence-animaux, le Bulletin Des Lévriers has launched a new worldwide petition to ask for the ban of hunting with Spanish Greyhounds (Galgos) in Spain. In 2009, we sent the 20.000 signatures which we had we collected thanks to Care2 to the Spanish Minister of the Environment. Let’s mobilize again to show the Spanish government that people around the World do not give-up on abused Sighthounds in Spain and that ill-treatments, very real, of Galgos and Podencos in Spain has to stop. Please sign the new petition available here
It’s not the clearest of petition websites, as the top half of the page is blank. So you need to

Malaga podenca needs forever home – adopt a podenco
Last week I introduced you to a young podenca bitch rescued from starvation on the streets of Malaga. This was her story.
The picture you see now is of Canela today, what a difference love, care, regular food can make – in just one week. And isn’t she absolutely stunning. Here’s what Charl says about her now.
‘Canela is a podenca of a fawn type interesting colour and white, slightly rough coated. She has a tiny little face and huge ears! Rescued 2 weeks ago, she came with very very dry skin but now this is much better. She is negative in Filaria, Erlichia, Leishmania. Vaccinated, and will be sterilised, approx.4 years.

Pity the Males – adopt a male galgo or podenco – they need forever too
This article is taken from the L’Europe des Levriers website, but it applies to all rescue associations and refuges – pity the male dogs, who get overlooked in preference to femals! And even worse, pity the black dogs who get overlooked in prefencence to other colours. And yet, if you have seen a black galgo – admire the fantastic beauty of the shine on their coat, especially teamed up with a stunning jewelled collar.
Take a moment to think about this, if you might consider adopting a galgo or podenco.
Pity the male! added August 28, 2011

Valencia podenca rescued from starvation – needs her forever home
The resilience of dogs never ceases to amaze me – and their capacity to forgive humans too. This podenca was rescued starving and near death’s door in the Valencia area. You can see from the photo when she was rescued that she could barely stand – just skin hanging on a skeletal frame.
Dora, as she has been named, is now in Madrid in a foster home, living with other dogs and cats – so no problem living with cats. She have recovered her health and enjoys playing with her toys – and going for walks with her foster mom.

Ibizan Hound Jasper – saved on the Costa Blanca – an ambassador for the breed
Such a cute little pup, born to an abandoned podenca at Javea, Costa Blanca. Introducing Podenco Ibizan Hound – Jasper. Megan tells his story.
‘All my life I have wanted a dog, but work and travel commitments prevented me from doing so. When we moved to Spain I decided the time was right and fate must have heard me say so, because we spotted an advert in our local paper for podenco puppies available mid January (2009), just in time for my birthday!

Galgos and podencos continue to roam the streets of Spain, hunting is about to start, and the whole vicious lifecycle for the galgos and podencos begins again. Here is the story of the capture of a little podenca on the streets of Malaga this week. Charl del Rio of 112carlotagalgos tells the story.

Young podenco in Albacete killing station – please can someone save him?
This beautiful boy is Mourino, just a year old and already in the Albacete killing station. He desperately needs a foster or adopting family urgently, as the shelters are full. Being young, he’s active and needs training, so he needs an enclosed garden and regular walks.
L’Europe des Levriers desperately want to get him out of the killing station, along with his companion Podo, as they are seriously at risk of being taken by the galgueros. These two boys urgently need someone to give them a chance of a forever life. Please contact them if you can help.
