  • URGENT help needed for a little podenca

    Morena Rut podenca 400 2 2022
    Please help.

    From Moreno Rut.

    @Patitas por el Mundo is a tiny association of only two people, Angeles and Virginia in Huelva. They are literally drowning in abandoned animals and it turns out that they rescued this little girl and she is epileptic and already all her possible adoptions have fallen and have no way to pay for her treatment or home. So she is quiet and they do not even have funds to pay for the residences and the others. This situation is very serious

    It’s a complete love of a dog, only 5 kilos and is looking for responsible adoption because she has epilepsy and these two women are helping her after rescuing her but her tests and feeding are very expensive and they have run out of money. In fact, they’ve had to ask for a loan to pay debts because there’s no donations to feed the cat colonies, nor the dogs on the street or pay the vet bills and still, they’re still drowning helping animals.

  • Podencos – foster homes needed for rescued hounds

    PINS Canela 400 2 2022
    Appeal from PINS – Podencos In Need Scotland.

    ‘Fostering! Always a tricky subject. We have many regular Fosterers who do a wonderful job over and over again, and we’re very aware that some of these dogs (or all of them) will take a little bit of their foster parent’s heart away with them when they move to their forever home. Some people find it so upsetting that they don’t feel they can do it again, or they have to take a long break to get over the heartbreak. But we ask you all to try and detach a bit of your brain from the trauma of them leaving and use it to congratulate yourself on a job well done and a life saved.

    Fosterers are an absolute essential part of the journey for many dogs, and without you, they may languish in a shelter for years.

  • URGENT – Podenco’s Owner died, abandoned in the garden

    Podenco in Aude 1 400 2 2022
    Grom Galgos Liberty.

    Very very Urgent !!!!!

    Her anxious look haunts me!!!!

    Looking for Foster or better adopters for Fly, podenco about 4/5 years old. Her owner passed away a week ago and is now alone in the garden. A neighbour comes to feed him and brings him home at night. I stopped by to see him this morning, Fly is scary, but within 10 minutes he came to me.

    HE seems to have been neglected by the absence of care and regular absence of his master and spent a lot of time alone, Fly will therefore need reassurance to trust again. Living with dogs looks ok, for cats we don’t know.

    This cutie is adorable and deserves to find her furever family.

    Contact galgo.liberty@gmail.com

    Or by text 06.74.46.73.95

    Podencos are intelligent active dogs who require more exercise than their Spanish galgo counterparts. They are delightful loyal companions and quite often clownish!

  • Introducing blind podenco Bocelli – a new learning curve for us

    Bo face 1 400
    Bocelli (known as Bo) is the second of our newly adopted podencos. Unusually for a white podenco, he is blind rather than deaf as some white dogs are. My OH was actually looking to adopt another galgo but he spotted Bo on the Ibizan Hound Rescue website and was immediately drawn to him. Bo was also on the website of Blind Dog Rescue UK and so I completed the pre-adoption form with them and kept my fingers crossed!

    Bo had been in a wonderful foster home in the UK after apparently spending most of his 8 years on the end of a chain in a ‘horrible place’ in Lorca, Murcia. His fosterer believes he can see shadows/shapes and he adapted well to living in a home environment with other dogs.

  • Finding the right home for a rescue dog

    Often the history of a rescue dog is unknown. The dog’s character needs to be assessed by the staff in the kennels or by a fosterer to ensure that the right home is found, both for the dogs but also the right dog for the adoptant. It’s easier said than done, as dogs behave differently in different situations with different people. So here’s an article on the subject, read the full piece on this weblink.

  • Podenca Elize with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    GRA Elize 2 400
    This podenco girl was found two weeks ago in Cuevas del Almanzora, looking for food among the trash cans of a restaurant, skinny, fragile, shy.

    Look at her now, Elize has become a real podenco as we know them.

    Confident, a strong character and she can stand her ground among the much larger galgos.
