    KANJI | VIP
    Kanji is a female born in June 2023. She is staying at the Pepito Dog Shelter. Reason for VIP status: severe trauma due to brutal abuse.

    Update on Kanji.

    Update, August 26, 2026: Unfortunately, there is some less-than-ideal news regarding sweet Kanji. That said… While the news isn’t exactly positive, it does demonstrate that shelter volunteers truly consider a dog’s specific needs and always prioritize the well-being of the animals—in this case, Kanji. It has been decided that Kanji will no longer be offered for adoption in the Netherlands.

    Kanji is a dog with significant trauma and a painful past; she arrived at the shelter having suffered severe abuse and having barely survived. Initially, this background made her seem like a shy but grateful girl. However, the longer she has stayed at the shelter, the more her fear of new things—and people in particular—has resurfaced. The volunteers cannot pinpoint exactly what is triggering her trauma again; it is possible that because she now feels safe in the shelter, her trauma makes her afraid of the unknown. (more…)

  • ElPodenco by Podenco Friends – simply stunning

    No photo description available.

    Over many years Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends has en able to catch stunning photos of her rescued podencos.  It is an amazing gift.

    “Rescuing Podencos I discovered a love for photography.. plus living so remotely in the campo was such a great background to take photos.  I took this photograph from around 20 metres away. Chaz at the time was only 6 months old and stood so still, looking out across the valley, As I was looking through the camera lens, silently I thought, please don’t move.

    For just a few seconds, everything was still… and I captured that special moment.
    To see them free.  Perhaps remembering where they have been.  Perhaps wondering what lies beyond the horizon.  Or perhaps simply enjoying the freedom to stand still, breathe, and take it all in.

  • Valerian root as a calmer for dogs

    I’m a great believer in natural remedies for my dogs and horses – apart from when they need antibiotics to kill bacteria!  So is valerian root a good natural remedy as a calmer for nervous dogs, or in special circumstances like thunderstorms and fireworks?

  • Salva un Podenco Gran Canaria – podenco rescue on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

    “Save a Podenco in Gran Canaria” is an animal shelter run by volunteers. Since 2017, we have been dedicated to the rescue, protection, and raising awareness about Podencos. Because they are used for hunting, Podencos are excluded from current animal protection laws, which makes it very difficult to help them.

    We rescue them, find them foster homes, and prepare them to be happy; to have a family that lasts them a lifetime. (more…)
