  • Podenco Passe – always passed over – desperately needs foster and forever

    Passe5_250This is an appeal for a foster or, even better, a forever home for Podenco Passe in Fuengirola, Spain. Maybe his name doesn’t help, he is ‘passed’ over in favour of other dogs in the shelter. Here’s his story.

    He is in a kennel in Fuengarola, Costa Del Sol, Spain. Stacey from 4forpaws adoption took him in as he was being attacked by a Boxer Dog and got badly injured. But that was over 2 years ago and he has been in the kennel now ever since then. He is a lovely looking dog.

  • March – the month to remember Podencos – save the podencos!

    Socks 250 3 2014Thank you to Catherine who translated this article for me.

    March, the month to remember Podencos.

    During the past month of February we were reminded of galgos, mainly because of the documentary film ‘Febrero. El Mierdo de los Galgos’. So I decided that March will be the month, I will devote to remembering their cousins the podencos and their crosses. Other dogs that suffer even more than galgos because they are also the forgotten ones. I did this last year with the post ‘They are not greyhounds, but podencos and are just as good companions’.

  • From Spanish Perrera to Italian forever – happy Bimba

    Ida Gaudenzi Bimba lying 250 1This is Bimba and she is now a happy podenca living with Ida Gaudenzi in Italy. Ida tells the story.

    ‘She came from the rescue Dejan Huella. She was little more than a puppy, around 1 year old, thin as a rake. I saw her picture online, she looked so lost. Her body language meant sadness, that hopeless attitude abandoned dogs have about them.

    I contacted the rescue, they couldn’t believe I was coming from Italy to pick her up.
    With the help of my good friend (and now Bimba’s Uncle) Giorgio we organized the airplane trip from Milan to Malaga, then to Cordoba with a rental car (he did most of the logistic work while I dealt with the rescue). Same on the way back, with a connecting flight in Rome.
