  • Podencos – cruel treatment by the Spanish hunters

    Albacete podenca 1 2010 250 Podencos suffer severe maltreatment at the hands of the Spanish hunters – abandoned, starving, caught in snares, ends of their noses chopped off to make them look like a pig, chained through the mouth to a wall, stoned to death……………..some have even had 'shot' still inside them, where they have been hit as well as the rabbits!Here's a few examples.

    I make no apologies for posting all these pictures together, let's start off Podenco Post by showing some of the horrors perpetrated against these loving and affectionate dogs, some of whom found loving homes eventually, one who sadly did not, murdered at the hands of a 16 year-old thug.

  • Podenca Estrella, survivor of the Jaen killing station

    Estrella and Angie in Jaen 190 I've fostered quite a few podencos, mostly the rough-haired type, from mainland Spain.  One of the most beautiful stories is that of Estrella.  In December 2009 I posted a picture on Galgo News of 3 galgas and a podenca in a cell in the killing station in Jaen.  Rescue of the 3 galgas was arranged but somehow the podenca was overlooked.  I received an appeal from across the ocean in Canada – the podenca is still in Jaen, can you get her out?

    So the wheels were speedily set in motion and the podenca was rescued and taken to a refuge.  An association with whom I work closely, L'Europe des Levriers, then agreed to help get the podenca from Jaen to Madrid, from where I could collect her, along with other galgos we were bringing out to France for rehoming.  So there we were, at the beginning of February 2010, meeting up with Estrella – as the podenca had been named – to bring her home to foster.

  • Happy Endings, Cadiz – saving the podencos of Chiclana

    Happy Endings Chiclana 250 Happy Endings is a small association in Chiclana, Cadiz, run by Margarita Gloerson, a Norwegian lady who could not stand by and see the abandoned, starving, injured podencos dying by the roadside.  This is the story of Happy Endings. 

    'My name is Margarita Gloersen from http://www.happy-ending-final-feliz.eu/ in Chiclana de la Frontera, Cádiz.  I have been working with dogs since I arrived Chiclana in 2005. I am from Norway, and when I came I just could not believe my day to day experiences with animals lying in the road, killed by cars and all the others just left to themselves with no chances to survive in the long run. Sooner or later they would become run over by cars, since all the trash bins are alongside the roads.
