  • Podenca Wina – don’t discount adopting an oldie

    Wina 1 40020 5 2021
    Live Love Adopt an older dog Ace/Shin

    Wina

    Wina is an older dog who is very gentle and calm, she enjoys a siesta in the sun to the fullest. However, she has some scars on her body and face, she won’t have had an easy life. Before she ended up with us she was waiting in a death station most likely dumped by her hunter because she was getting too old. She is very social with other dogs, big and small, bitch and male. Wina is no longer a young girl but longs for her first home with owners who like to spoil her.

    The good news is that she is reserved! Wishing her a lovely happy rest of life in Holland. http://ace-charity.org/nl/honden/honden/18777

  • Protectora Scooby – podenca looking for her forever home

    Scooby podenca 400 5 2021
    Podencos are wonderful life companions. At Scooby there are now several who are looking for a family, like this little sweety girl of about two years old, who although she is a bit shy is very good and we are sure that all she needs is a little love to start trusting people.

    Do you want to give her the home that she deserves and needs so much? Chip n° …375849

  • Protectora Scooby – small podenco looking for a forever home

    Scooby leish 400 5 2021
    From Protectora Scooby

    This little boy recently arrived and as you can see his health is not very good. He has skin problems and we think it may be Leishmania, so we are going to test him and keep him under surveillance until we see that he recovers. He is a very good little podenco of about four years old but for now he is still scared.

    Notice how he has filed his fangs, we have never seen anything like this!

    When he recovers, because we trust that he will soon gain strength and feel better, he will need a family to share the rest of his life with. Chip n°…263675

  • Asociacion Huellas Gaditanas – a deserving podenco needing a forever family

    Huellas pod 400 14 5 2021
    So sad that when a hunting dog gets older, they are abandoned to their fate. So cruel after they have been loyal servants.

    Introducing POCHITO – He was literally letting himself DIE on the edge of a road. Abandoned, never had a show of affection, waste of people who only see it as a hunting object, nothing else. Fortunately, an angel took him off the road and without showing any kind of rejection he let himself be rescued. Now he recovers in a foster home, from his physical and psychic aftermath.

    He is about 9 years old, Podenco Maneto, small size and he is regaining his desire to live, he just wants to lay down to the sunny and needs a lot of love because he is quite afraid and suspicious. He is sociable, calm, noble, he askes only for a comfy bed, food and lots of love.

    He needs a definitive family.

    He’s located in San Roque (Cadiz) but can be shipped.

  • Update on the 3 podencos with Akira Animal Sanctuary.

    This is was the skinniest of the three poor dogs as you can see from the photos he is malnourished however we are working hard to remedy this and he is already much more comfortable.

    Chance has had his blood tests back and it relieved he has leishmaniasis so we are treating and getting this condition under control. Once under control it doesnt hinder daily life and controlled can be maintained with an inexpensive tablet. He is a sweet boy and will make a lovely addition.

    Now we have the gorgeous Chase. If you look closely you can see this handsome boy had a heart-shaped nose. They are all very sweet natured dogs and it’s appalling that they arrived so poorly. We have just had confirmation that he has heartworm, ehrlicia and Leishmania. We will of course be giving him treatment but this is a lot for his body to go through and much can be prevented easily.

    Coco. Isn’t he just a sweetheart? He has had his tests and he has come back positive for heartworm which of course he will be treated for. So glad that these 3 are in a safe place with us to start down the road to recovery now we know what each of their issues are.

    We will continue to publish their progress and if you wish to register your interest in adoption when they are ready then you can drop an email to akirashelter@aol.com.

  • Akira Animal Sanctuary – saving the podencos of Benissa, Spain

    Star is a gorgeous young podenca, currently with Akira Animal Sanctuary and hoping for a forever home soon. Contact Akira if you are interested in her. Read the info on this weblink.

    At the end of April 3 podencos were surrendered to the Shelter.

    These 3 doggies were surrendered to Akira. They are definitely in the best place now as when they arrived they were covered in fleas and ticks but they have been treated so should start to feel better soon. They have been given good food and shown love and tenderness.

    We will be working to feed them up and make them healthy as you can see they are underweight as well. They are very sweet natured dogs despite their condition. We will keep you updated on their journey and hopefully they will soon be ready to search for their very own forever home.

    We have called them Coco, Chance and Chase.

    ‘Today it was once again the turn of the youngest of GRA to go on a vet visit. Freya’s babies got another check-up and their latest vaccinations. Since the little ones were born on February 3 and are not yet 12 weeks old, it was still too early for their rabies vaccination. We have made a new appointment for next week. In the meantime everyone got his / her name.’
