Podenca Coco hoping for a forever home.
Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com

The true face of desolation – old Podenca in the perrera
The true face of desolation. Noelia a granny who lived a very hard and unhappy life. Her little legs are very sore. So little and cute.
Weighing only 9 kg. Only looks for affection since she could never felt anything similar to a caress..She only served to give birth year after year. She’s 10 years old but it seems like a lifetime of bitterness and pain has taken its toll on her. You just have to see her, poor thing.A perrera, the last place for an elderly podenca abandoned by her hunter who she served faithfully for 10 years!

70 hunting dogs desperately needing to find rescue shelters
Yet another sad example of the horrors endured by Spain’s hunting dogs because there is no law to protect them.
The 6 month old puppies arrived from Alentejo this week. They were brought to Tiny Shelter by the very kind Municipal vet of Alentejo, herself. They are lovely dogs and clearly so excited to be in a new place …away from the CHAOTIC AWFUL PLACE where they lived…
All have small cuts and sores, proof that they had to fight for food , but apart from that, they are lovely ,happy, GRATEFUL puppies, excitedly smelling and investigating everything. He immediately vaccinated them , gave them very good puppy food and toys. These are some of the lucky ones, already removed … close to 20 have been removed…there are 50 left! (more…) -
World Podenco Day 22nd February – take a podenco into your heart and home
22nd March is World Podenco Day.
Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.
oday, March 22nd, marks World Podenco Day in Spain!
On this day we pay tribute to a breed that embodies nobility and pride, yet often endures a harsh reality in Spain. Many Podencos are subjected to unimaginable conditions, deprived of the respect they rightfully deserve.Tragically, countless Podencos spend their lives confined in dark buildings, underground caves, or chained to walls, with nothing but rancid water to drink. They’re expected to run tirelessly until exhaustion takes its toll, only to be discarded when they’re no longer deemed useful.
Some brave the streets, while others find themselves in overcrowded shelters with slim chances of adoption. (more…) -
