Podenco Bud – the reality of life for Podencos in Spain and the Canary Islands
For everyone who generously gave to our appeal to fund vet fees for Podenco Bud and Moreno, with Podenco Friends in Murcia, here’s a lovely video from Bev Farmer. Sit back and enjoy.
Buds Story…. handed into a perrera by a hunter with the explanation he had been feeding him but thought he was sick and that is why he was so emaciated. We took him into our care and blood tests revealed a different explanation, long term malnutrition, severe anemia. This is not an isolated case, many of the Podencos we rescue come to us in this condition.
I ask please share this video and let the world see what happens to many of the Podencos in Spain, for them its their reality Bud was lucky we got him to us in time watch the video although sad to begin with….. see the magic unfold

Foster home urgently needed for Podenco x Aaron
Please can we find a foster home urgently for pod x Aaron. He is one of over 80 dogs at Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera Seville. Another one dumped at the gates – it happens on a regular basis…dogs come in quicker than can be homed!!
Here’s what Jane Brian says.
‘I wonder if you can help with little guy? I have him living with us in the mobile home and I really don’t want to put him in the refuge.He is an amazing puppy, very intelligent and obedient.
We estimate that Aaron is around five months. He is house trained to a point, he does his big business outside, but still does wee wee inside, he hasn’t grasped that concept as yet.’
Please contact Jane Brian direct, please help Aaron with either a foster home or, even better, a forever home.

Helping the Lanzarote podencos – why we do it
Rick Beauchamp is a volunteer for SARA Protectora on Lanzarote, Canary Islands. He helps rehome rescued podencos in the UK. He writes about why he does it.
Very often people ask us why we bother rescuing dogs from Lanzarote when there are so many homeless here in the UK?
Our answer I feel rarely convinces, as you have to see the suffering of the dogs to really appreciate why we feel that we have absolutely no choice but to try and help.
Recently we came across this article on the SARA website www.saraprotectora.org.
I have transferred the article verbatim as it adds to the poignancy. -

Canary Islands – these guys are looking to leave!
The Canary Islands Podencos need homes! SARA Protectora have some fabulous ones who wait and wait…and wait…Rick Beauchamp introduces you to some.
GUAPO NEEDS YOUR HELP Guapo was rescued from one of the “killing stations” on Lanzarote. He has been in SARA shelter since 23/3/2010, just over 5 years!!! He was only a very young dog when he was rescued, he is thought to be about 5 1/2 !! He is active and bouncy and loves other dogs. Hes a big lad too around 60 cm at the shoulders. An active chap like Guapo needs to be with a family, can anyone supply him with the love and kindness he so desparately needs? As with all the SARA dogs Guapo is neutered, microchipped and fully inoculated!
I am in the process of getting a consignment of dogs together so please message me if you can help Guapo or why not visit the SARA website www.saraprotectora.org and look at the other inmates,if you want further information on any one of them I’d gladly help. rick.beauchamp@express-recruitment.co.uk

Braveheart – ACTIN in action again
Less than a week ago (May 2015) one of Actin’s team was contacted and asked to investigate this terrible case; a dog tied up on a chain in a hidden cave in a horrible town in Murcia where animals are treated like garbage…
On arrival they found this most pathetic and sad sight and because of what he suffered they named him Valiente, (Brave). Valiente attached to a short chain, old, skinny, sick and hardly able to move, the saddest of souls. He was about to give up, the rescuers were just in time to help him – before he succumbed to his life of misery.
Valiente is about 10 years old, so sad to think someone had him living this hell for all his life and caused him to be in such pain and endure such suffering. His condition as diagnosed by the vet; arthritis atrophy, osteoarthritis atrophy, cachexy, and sclerosis in the eye, amazingly he is not positive for leishmania.
