More on podenco brothers Camilo and Eloy – introducing a harness
From Polly Mathewson‘Dear Friends of our beautiful shy podenco brothers CAMILO & ELOY, if you have missed the boys do enjoy a little sit down to enjoy seeing what they have been up to this week.
Read on if you’d like more detailed news, but in any case please share their post all you can so their loving adoptive family can see them!! We know those wonderful people are out there SOMEWHERE, who will fall in love head over heals with our sweet two. Two absolute soulmate hounds in the making for you.
Our brave lads continue to do so well as they strive to get over their fear of humans and the terrible trauma of seven years spent invisible just existing – not living – within four sad walls. This week they had FOUR of their best friends to help them, and the particular focus has been to see how Eloy is doing on his pain medication for his severe spondylosis and to tentatively start the boys getting used to their harnesses. Once comfortable with a harness and lead their lives can start to get bigger. Fun in the countryside awaits!

Update on Podenco Brothers Camilo and Eloy
From Polly Mathewson
Dear Friends, just a little hello to let you know how our heroes, podenco brothers ELOY & CAMILO are doing!
This is them with their lovely Christiane enjoying some home schooling before some running around time in the patio with their hound friends.
As you can see Eloy seems to be moving more comfortably, so we hope his pain medication is starting to help. Again thanks to everyone for your kindness and generosity and work with the recent wonderful Verein Windhundhilfe Malaga auction. The funds are helping to cover the boys’ ongoing vet needs now they sadly have their new spondylosis diagnosis. Eloy and Cami are learning “busca busca busca” to hunt for tasty treats under the cushion, and all the time getting more comfortable with human contact.
Also they are getting more comfortable as we are sneaking in more and more cosy things into their kennel. This is all practice for a proper home, but we think they like their new raised chill out zone. Thanks to Pilar trainer for this nice supermarket pallet recycling and pretty carpet.

Podenco Oreo – happy in his forever home
Rhonda Martins tells the story of how she came to be a podenco adoptant and the start of her passion for them and homing them.
‘In January 2014 a small chocolate and white Podenco puppy traveled to Canada to his new home. Things didn’t work out as planned as they do sometimes and in a totally unplanned series of events our family ended up fostering him. We had never had a podenco, let’s call this baptism by fire. Our lives were changed forever by little Oreo the pod puppy from Podenco Friends in Spain, he never left our home and we adopted him in January 2015.
Late September in 2016 I was given the opportunity to travel to Spain with my friend Jeanette, we were to spend some time at Bev and Warren’s and then fly home with Podencos and Galgos our organization had helped to find forever homes for. At that time I could never have imagined the impact this trip would have on myself and my family. Bev and Warren were amazing , and I have never worked so hard in all my life. Running a rescue is certainly a labour of love.

Podenco Nile – 6 years in a shelter – time for his forever home
From Noa Palacios‘Beautiful, great, sociable with animals and people, balanced, loving, noble. That’s right Nile, this stunning 6-and-a-half-year-old and medium-sized podnquito that urgently NEEDS to find a family to adopt him.
It’s not fair that he’s been behind bars for more than half a lifetime, being such an adorable puppy and so easy to carry. No, it’s not fair!, that’s why we ask you to share his photo, because it’s time for him to become VISIBLE and for a good heart to fall in love with his beautiful look that says it all.
Want to know more about this wonderful podenquito?: tele Spain 0034 638.475.167, but please! share it, we can all find a family.
Who has had a podenco, doesn’t understand life without them.’

Update on Podencos Camilo and Eloy
From Polly Mathewson.‘Dear Friends of our beautiful timid podenco brothers CAMILO & ELOY, an update that’s a bit mixed – sad and happy and practical… Firstly the sad in that unfortunately we have unexpected health news for our boys as we have discovered they both have the degenerative spinal condition spondylosis deformans, and Eloy has it very badly. But we are all going to help them so they will be as well as they can be! The happy news is that they have had their first official class with behaviourist-trainer Pilar. What posh pods they are with a personal trainer! And so to the practical, and this is a very heartfelt request because to cover their tests, x-rays and sedation together with new monthly medication and supplements they are now going to need, and of course their kenneling, their costs are rising to over £500/560 euros per month. That’s a lot! But together we can do it.
