Helping a rescue dog adjust to a new home
I’ve had rescue dogs all my life, mostly from rescue associations. Most of them have come with problems, usually as a result of bad treatment in their past. One 4-year old galga took over 2 years before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog, and that was after living with 4 other housemates. My current Spanish podenca came with a fear of men – what a surprise – after spending the first 7 years of her life shut in a shed and just let out for hunting. Even after over 4 years in our home, she is still nervous of men and many life situations.
So it is vitally important to understand the problems which adopting a rescue dog will bring with them, needing much patience whilst they adjust to home life, new people and situations.

Podenca Reina hoping for a forever home
Reina – a queen Podenca. She was handed a hunter… and it makes us so sad to think how easily some people get tired of an animal when it stops serving them as a tool of work. Fortunately she’s still a happy, noble and affectionate hound and is looking forward to finally finding a real family.Almost 5 years old and sociable with other dogs. We don’t think she would fit in with cats because he has quite a hunter instinct.She is in Murcia and can be adopted anywhere in Spain, as long as they personally come to the shelter to pick her up.Para adoptarla podéis escribirnos a: adopcionesalmohadillas@gmail.com -
The plight of the Podencos of the Canary Islands
Podencos in the Canary Islands lead a hellish life and sadly the cost of adopting one to a forever home in Europe is very expensive.
This video from Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends shows how some of them are kept, only let out to hunt.

Podenca Coco hoping for a forever home.
Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com
