Podenca Chir in Valencia needs a foster or forever home
Introducing Chir – she needs a home rather than going to a shelter.
Kris says ‘Just before Christmas a friend answered the call for help of the animal shelter SPAX from Xativa (Valencia ) to give Chir, a podenco of about two years old, a temporary home. Irela herself as a matter of fact needs a lot of help, she is a single, unemployed secondary school teacher and without unemployment (yes, that’s quite normal here in Spain ) and already needs to feed a family consisting of two dogs and two cats. Nevertheless she showed her big heart. And my wife and I (not really in a comfortable economical situation either) stepped in and bought the necessary food to get the more than skinny Chir back on her feet.

Sun, sea and accommodation in Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Laura writes from The Kennel Klub, Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
‘Lanzarote is a small island and we have a very limited area in which to re-home dogs. Unfortunately that does not mean of course that dogs are not abandoned. We are a legally registered association and in the nearly 18 months we have been running we have re-homed 107 dogs.
We don’t have a refuge and save many dogs from the perrera, which means they go into kennels before going to foster homes or lucky enough to be adopted.

Podenca Trixie waiting for her forever
Rosemary reports the story of this little podenca.
‘Trixie was found walking along a busy road with a bit of rope tied around her neck, she was skin and bone and very weak when we found her.
She is a smaller podenco about 10 months old and she had mange so we have not been able to blood test or vaccinate but the mange has now completely gone with medical treatment, so we should be able to run the tests in about a week after she has finished the antibiotics. She is very friendly not nervous at all very sweet character.

Adaana – please help the ‘invisible’ podencos find forever homes
Appeal from Adaana – if their rescued podencos don’t soon find homes, they can’t help the others already on the street needing taking to safety. Here’s what they say.
‘We’re getting near February, and we know that with the end of the hunting season we’ll suffer a new wave of “hunting tools” dropped everywhere, while those which we already rescued remain invisible, without finding a home.
I send you a collage we made to promote them. The main photo is of Podenco Friends in Murcia, in the other photos: Miga, Amber, Lucía, Chance, Shabie y Bonsai. Real beauties!! More here.
We are already receiving requests for help for other podencos who, like them, have been used and discarded, but we can’t do more, especially if our rescued don’t achieve to find their new homes.
Help us to break this spell that makes them invisible, help us to promote them.
Amber was seen by a college of us with her owners and a lot of other podencos, hunting in a forbidden area. She approached them to tell them they shouldn’t be hunting there and they left. Amber caught her eye, because she seemed so young and clumsy… the next day she saw Amber on her own, and the next, … she was scared, but as the days went passed she got more confident and now she’s understood that there’s nothing to be scared about, and she’s a wonderful dog.
Miga was during nearly a month following in the distance a girl every time she walked her dog, she looked skinny and harmed. Between this person and a few neighbors they kept feeding her and trying to catch her, and at last, they achieved to catch her and they took her to the vet: she had a peculiar wound in her mouth, and the vet said it’s quite usual in the area, that hunters drop them with their mouth shut so that they aren’t able to hunt, but she was lucky to manage to get rid of it. Also, she was pregnant (we’ve sterilized her).
Though she walks perfectly on the leash and she accepts manipulation, she’s still quite scared, and she prefers to remain in the distance if possible.
