GPAR animal rescue in Rute, Granada…Podenco Pluto needs help
LOOKING URGENTLY FOR A NEW HOME FOR PLUTO – HERE IN SPAIN OR EUROPE OR IN THE UK – PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE
THANK-YOU
CONTACT gpar.refuge@gmail.com if anyone can helpNEWS STORY FROM GPAR – Pluto the Podenco!
Pluto has had a very bad time. He was a street dog in Rute for over a year and no one was able to get near enough to him to catch him. It was unfortunately an accident he had with a car, that enabled GPAR to rescue him, take him to the vet for treatment and then to the refuge where he has been since Feb this year.
The accident caused injury to his right paw which is now sightly deformed but he can walk on it although he will need to have another operation and he is waiting to have this.

Portuguese Podengo Thomas – with Many Tears Rescue, Wales
Here’s the story of Tom, a Portuguese Podengo x rescued and now with Many Tears Rescue in Wales. He’s looking for his forever family, along with another 9 Podencos – all in the UK in foster. June writes.
‘Learning to be loved:
With all your help we have been able to save a number of dogs that were all going to die on the streets of Portugal.
These dogs have been doing really well, some are now in permanent homes, whilst others are still awaiting their special day!
om made his way to my family. Tom is a happy go lucky kind of a guy, but even with his chirpy character and live life to the full attitude you can still see that his soul
bears scars of his former life! He truly believed that hands were a source of pain and something to be feared, he has been with me just under three weeks now and is just starting to understand that hands can make food and toys appear. If you moved too
swiftly he would whimper believing a smack was coming his way! -
Granada, Spain…under threat from the Spanish Cazador!
My heart breaks when I read stories and appeals like this, Look at the eyes of this podenca mom…please help me and my babies. An all too common in so many countries because people will not sterilise their animals! Diana explains.
‘This is,sadly, a too common drama in Spain. Seven podencos pups and the mum living rough in a plot in a field. The owner doesn’t want them there and is going to ‘make them ” disappear “. They are in a little tiny hunter’s village in Granada. I know it is a desperate call for help, but maybe we can do something. Maybe we can take the mum and spay her and maybe, take the pups as well… or maybe nothing. But I have to try! Anyone who can help? Contact Diana Fisio Salobreña (via facebook)

Galgos del Sur, Cordoba – saving puppies dumped as waste
My name is Patricia Almansa and I´m the head of Galgos del Sur, a little animal organization from Córdoba, Andalucía (South Spain). We have a big problem with podencos, nobody ask for they and we didn´t find any organization who help them.
The last case is very urgent. We rescued 4 podenco puppies one week ago from a dumpster (ribbish bin). They were in a bag closed with tape. Just in Córdoba we have a heat wave with temperatures higher than 45º; if we hadn´t found in this moment then I´m sure they would have died soon. They have a lot of ticks, wounds, it took us 3 days to take out everything and clean them.
We need help to find good homes for the little podencas, they can´t grow in a kennel. Could anyone help us? There is one boy Bruma (first pic), and 3 girls Arena, Brisa and Marea

Portuguese podengos looking for forever homes
Here is a lovely story from Dineka in Portugal, about a lucky Portuguese podengo family.
‘On the 7th of May I saw two Podengos running on the road, both skinny to the bone, one male and one female. Stopped and gave them water and food, and the female obviously had puppies recently.
She was approachable, but the male was too scared, and ran off. It was already late afternoon, so I took the female to the vet, checked for a chip, and she belongs to a hunter nearby. But he didn’t bother reporting her as missing.
It turned out she had Microfilaria, anaemia and Tic-fever, and I left her ate the vet that night. Next morning I picked her up, put her on the leash where I found her, and she took me directly to a hollow tree, where she had hidden 5 puppies.

From Perrera to Finca Podenco Friends, Murcia – meet Perla
Bev Farmer tells the story of Perla.
Perla arrived on Friday 35d July 2015 and we have given her some space but yet another Podenca terrified out of her mind. This is not fear from a change of circumstances, this is from a deeply rooted sustained abuse of some type. She will need many months of help and support to break her out of this world of terror she lives in.
In the last 3 months we have taken in 5 podencos all very similar issues and it cant be just because they are nervous by nature. Dogs learn by association the positive and the negatives and if treated badly for long enough, establish what hurts them is to be avoided.
