  • Podenca Princessa hoping for a forever home in her twilight years

    No photo description available.

    Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.

    This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
    At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…)

  • Sign and Share the petition to reform the Spanish Penal Code

The goal is to ensure that the most severe cases of animal abuse result in actual prison sentences and other measures that permanently prevent abusers from ever owning animals again.’

    From Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.

    It is so important that people hear about the struggles we face in rescue with the Podencos. Blanca’s tragic loss was devastating, but I hope her life was not in vain. Her legacy lives on in every Podenco we have gone on to rescue since.

    The perrera where Blanca came from is located deep in the countryside of the Valencia region, where many hunters keep Podencos. For many years, unwanted dogs have been handed in there when they are no longer considered useful. (more…)

  • Podenco Campanero – the big podenco of Spain

    No photo description available.

    Introducing the Podenco Campanero and his crosses. A large-sized Andalusian podenco often crossed with Portuguese, Ibizenco or little-known mastiff and like so many podencos in Spain, also mistreated and humiliated for being part of the rehalas in the main hunt. Most of them are invisible because they remain their whole lives locked up in hunters’ kennels where they live crowded without seeing much sunlight.
    They’re called BELLERS because on hunting days where they go in a hurry harassing the prey, a bell was placed around their necks…
