  • Podenco Friends in Murcia – saving the podencos

    I shed tears every day as I read the appeals for help for podencos – old, young, abandoned, in the perreras – puppies with a whole life before them, susceptible to disease in the perreras. The appalling waste of life, simply because most of the Spanish hunters don’t care…Luckily thousands of the younger Spanish generations DO care and do as much as they can to help. So many appeals come in that I simply can’t post them all.

    And we can’t help them all until the ones in shelters and kennels are found loving forever homes. The podencos need your help. Please share their story.

  • Podenco Orito puppy Rania in Almeria perrera

    Almeria Rania 170 27 4 2014I’ve not been posting appeals to save the hundreds of podencos in perreras because the podencos already saved desperately need forever homes. But I had to tell you about Rania, an 8 month old Podenco Orito puppy on death row in Almeria perrera. The Orito is one of the more unusual type of Podenco, mainly found around Malaga province. You can read more about them on this link. Rania shouldn’t be in the perrera! It will cost 135 euros to buy her out (as she is over 6 months old) and then 90 euros/month for a kennel. The 135 euros includes vaccination and microchip – and spaying, as that is perrera policy. Contact and Paypal a/c sos.almeria@gmail.com

    As an extension to this story, I’ll tell you about some comments posted on a facebook thread about my podenco book.

    How low can people stoop?! SARA Protectora on Lanzarote have dozens of dogs and cats, including lots of podencos all waiting for forever homes on mainland Europe. This link details the number of dogs and cats they have helped. As they say, bear in mind this is just one association, there are others on the Island including several perreras. Here’s one of their podencos, Muneca. And Amor, now 4 years old and been at the shelter since he was a puppy.
