Podenca Tasha now safe with PEPA – waiting for a forever home
TASHA’s STORY
“Lots of people have been involved with this little one. She was with Kirsty for a few months then with a foster home near Javea and now she has been with Jacky Hazeleger since November.
Tasha was picked up 28/07/2015 after having been ignored in all likelihood for many months by people walking past. We only found out about her when PEPA was involved in another rescue and were alerted by Christina Royce that there was an injured podenco. Tasha had a broken hip and leg she had been like this for many months and no one did anything! Can you imagine the pain she must have been in?
It does not end there. Tasha had Sarnia; she needed painful antibiotic injections to heal her coat; this not bad enough she also tested positive for leishmaniosis and rickettsia ( now very low level leishmaniosis) so we had to wait even longer to do her operation. Finally on the 27th October this poor broken girl had her operation. She was very broken not just her bones but her spirit – she wanted nothing to do with people and it has taken her a long time to get where she is now.”

Mike in Axarquia, Spain –
Axarquia Animal Rescue would like to introduce you to this little puppy MIKE (AAR1528) DOB 17.05.2016
Hello…I was dumped by the bins at Puente without my mum when I was 3 weeks old. I was really scared but pretended to be brave as my siblings were frightened too. I did not know why the people took us away, we were too little to have been naughty. I was sure my mum would come and find us, but she didn’t. I hope she’s ok.
After lots of asking, a kind lady called Sue offered to look after us until we were old enough to leave.
Well, now I am nearly big enough and I need a home with a comfy bed as my foster mummy Sue says I sleep a lot. I am a happy boy and love playing but I’m a bit quieter than my brother Pete. As you can see, I love smiling for the camera and I can help you in the garden. I get on with the dogs here so wouldn’t mind if I had a new brother or sister. I have so much love in my little heart, all I need now is a family of my own to give it to.Contact axarquia-rescue@hotmail.com Please share my little post with your friends as they could know someone who might love me. Thank you, Mike xxx

**** I’m Zeus.****
It’s a long time since I left.
The truth is that I was never happy, always treated me badly.
I lived in a place surrounded and with a small roof to get out of the cold and the rain.
I’m just out to hunt, until one day they stopped doing it.
I don’t run long enough for that person to whom I belonged.
A few days later they took me in the middle of the field with another dog like me and they cut us loose.
I didn’t know what to do, whether to run, or wait until my master gave me an order.
I was disoriented.
I’ve never lived through a similar situation. -
Podenco Penelope moving on to her forever life.
A photo that captured many people hearts.
bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.’This week (23/6/2016) Penelope will be joining her new family, a forever sofa a home where she will be loved and cherished.
I will never forget the day we collected her she was so thin and so scared her fragility and vulnerability was palpable. A moment where you wish you could tell her its all going to be ok and she would understand your words. More shocking once examined by our vets and after taking xrays. She had a badly dislocated hip and a fracture to her ankle but they were old injuries. I cannot imagine the level of pain she suffered and she was surviving on the side of a busy road. Further complications she tested positive for leishmania if left there her chances of survival were not good. In time Penelope became part of the family and her cheeky character began to shine through. Like so many Podencos their ability to over come such adversity always amazes me and she was no different.
