  • Forgive me, mommy

    Dog
    I was there where you left me for two whole days. Sleeping right on the side of the road. I was terrified of the noise from the cars but I did not move.

    Last night one of those cars stopped and she got out. She invited me to lunch but I said no. She invited me to come sleep at her house and I also said no. I tried to explain to her that I was waiting for you but she wouldn’t listen.

    She pulled out a leash and said I couldn’t stay there any longer. I bit her several times and ended up peeing on myself as I growled and cried! She didn’t understand that she was separating me from you! She took me against my will and we drove off! I was so sad because I knew you were going to be worried. We ended up at her house.

    I kept screaming hoping you would hear me but you never came. I vomited because of my nerves, feeling so sick. I kept telling her I had to go back because you were going to think I abandoned you when you saw I wasn’t there! I, who love you with all my heart and soul have not stopped crying since we separated a few days ago. I want you to know, I would never do that to you.

    I don’t know where you are now or why you stopped the car and left me there. Surely you had something very important to do. Can you come find me now, mommy?

    Today I ate because my tummy was hurting. I also slept on a very soft bed. And by accident I also wiggled my tail a bit. I’m so sorry, please forgive me.

    She’s just being really nice to me. She said I could stay forever. She’s calling me Milo but I already have a name. When you pick me up you can tell it to her. You’ll see how surprised she’ll be when you explain to her that this was a big mistake.
    Because mommy, you’re coming back for me, right?

  • Podenco Xarnego Max looking for his forever home

    Podenco Xarnego 400 12 2023
    This sweet small podenco is looking for his forever home, he’s been waiting a year already – a year of his puppyhood in kennels.

    The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned…

    A home is all Max wants. He’s been with our lovely transporter Roberto for almost six months now, and although he is safe & loved, it saddens us that all he’s known is being chained to a wall by the hunter he was saved from and then life in kennels. He is now around a year old, his whole puppyhood he’s never known what it is to have a family and home.

    We are looking for a FOSTER or FOREVER HOME for Max – he’s spent enough time in kennels.

    Max is an affectionate, friendly little boy with a side serving of shyness. He gets on well with all other dogs, and loves to have a play in the secure areas at Robertos place. He’s a gorgeous medium sized pod with a beautiful fluffy coat which makes us think he has some Xarnego in him.

    Max is vaccinated, chipped, passported & free of all Mediterranean diseases.

    Please contact Astrid Jordan or email helperspodsanddogs@gmail.com with the subject Max

    Leena, a 3-year-old Podenca, 13 kg. she is calm and independent she gets along well with other dogs.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – always there for the podencos and galgos

    GRA Make 2024 better for us 400
    From Sandy Galgoslover

    2023, a year of ups & downs, joy & sadness, but also a year in which new collaborations were established.
    Never before have so many abandoned, neglected and abused souls found their way to our Rescue center. Unfortunately, never before have so many animals been abandoned and dumped either….

    If there is any improvement in people’s awareness animals are living beings and not products, we still notice little or nothing of it.

    On the contrary, it seems to be getting worse….
