This is a so-called Rehala where they hunt deer and wild pigs with big packs of dogs, mostly podencos. This is how they train the dogs!! I’m waiting news of where and when. The dogs carry numbers because they don’t have names. Well – of course they don’t, they don’t have microchips or passports….

On death row – two terrified podencos – URGENT!
And these two poor babies on death row (don’t know which perrera).
Lucia and Fernando will die at the end of the week! Can we save them? Reserved but nowhere to go. If somewhere is not found and they are paid for, they will return to the perrera… Just been told Fernando will be pts on THURSDAY!
FERNANDO is only about 8 months old, kind and curious but very scared. He will gain in confidence in a loving home. And Lucia is about 3 years old, terrified in the perrera.
If we can get sponsors for them to go in a residence, even better a foster and forever homes, then we can get them out. Paypal me band@bbrennan.eu and I’ll send donations on, mark them Lucia Fernando.

Podencos on death row in Mairena perrera, Sevilla
Many years ago I wrote about the horrendous conditions for the dogs in Mairena perrera, near Seville. For a while the volunteers were refused access because of the photos which were published. volunteers now have access to the dogs again.
Maria says ‘There are currently 12 podencos at Mairena’s dog pound. This is one of the worst dog pounds in Spain. The dogs are not fed properly, they are sick and nobody cares, the dogs are not euthanasied properly (they don’t use the normal “stuff” and the dog takes forever to die), “galgueros” (hunters) are VIP visitors and can adopt all the dogs they want… Please, help them.’

Life for the podencos of mainland Spain, Canary Islands and Balearic Islands
A video exposing the truth about life for the podenco born into a hunting home on mainland Spain, or on one of the Canary Islands or Balearic Islands such as Ibiza. Upsetting photos but please do not turn away – remember that each and every one of these podencos has suffered so much more – and most of them have been saved. Thank you PodencoWorld.

Decathlon, Valencia, Spain – pony rides for the holidaymakers
Besides dogs, my other lifelong passion has been horses – this is a ‘living’ pony ride in Valencia, Spain. This is what the ponies do all day every day – can’t even move their heads.

Holidays in Alicante – no accommodation for this podenca
I only read this story today, no one contacted me with the appeal. I might have been able to help – put people in touch with each other where others – it’s what I do ‘behind the scenes’ at Podenco Post and Galgo News. So many people tried to help when those who were asked first and should have helped DID NOTHING! So sad. She could have been saved….
