Can you help this Podenco – advertised for free on Gumtree UK!!
This is not the first time a Podenco has been advertised for free on Gumtree in the UK. It makes me blazing that these people don’t understand that, if they can’t keep a dog, they need to tell the rehoming/rescue association so they have a chance to sort the problem out. That is, if the dog was taken into the country through an association…looks like this poor boy wasn’t and there is no backup for him. Grrrrrrr! Can anyone help?

PODENCO PATERNINO of Huelva Province – Edy for adoption
Edy – a special and unusual black and white podenco boy who longs to be loved, but is still so shy and nervy and would need a very gentle patient family to build his confidence. Edy was in the kill pound in Valencia and saved by volunteers, he is safe in a kind kennels in Spain but he has got quite stuck and as he only knows rural kennels (for far too long) is very scared of anyone or anything new. But he is the most handsome gentle boy and would become your most wonderful friend. Will you show Edy that he is NOT invisible and that he too can have a loving family of his own, a sofa, soft bed and fabulous walks. Please contact pollymathewson@hotmail.com

78 podencos with filaria on Tenerife – Project to save them achieved!
You may remember back in February 2016 there was an appeal to help 78 podencos on Tenerife. Here is the news – best of all, all the dogs are clear of the filaria (heartworm). Final result PROJECT TIERRA BLANCA FILARIA FREE nearly 8,000€ worth in heartworm treatments received, thanks! Amazing!
‘So many things have happened since we started this wonderful project. Thanks to Podencoworld and dozens of supporters who donated the cost of the treatment for all these podencos.
We received the 78 filaria treatments that were needed and managed to have some extra treatments for the future as thanks to an auction carried out by volunteers of Podencoworld it was possible to create a piggy bank which we have already been using for new filaria positive arrivals.

Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – saving the podencos in Sevillia
Here are stories from Levriers sans Frontieres about 2 podencos, now safe with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville, and who will eventually come to France for forever homes.
Here’s the story of the first one, Bashira. After she was found at the roadside, throughout the journey to the shelter, she has not moved, not cried. she is so courageous and yet what she must suffer! She was rushed to the vet for urgent operation. Upon her arrival she was supported by Lillian, the veterinarian at the FBM, who took xrays. The legs are fractured, put in splints whilst waiting for an operation by the orthopedist. Under anaesthetic, her injuries have been disinfected and she was given antibiotic. This tiny podenca is barely a year old, what a terrible start to its life.
