  • Valencia killing station – Please give these podencos the Gift of Life for Christmas

    Valencia perrera podencos 250 12 2012Podencos in Valencia killing station, please is there an association which can save them?

    Two podencos – the little podenca puppy (the taller brown) is still inside but no one asks for her. She is loving and very curious, super funny with hazel eyes, if you look you see the pain that she feels.

    The petite podenquita tan, is female, six years old, the owner does not want it, too old to hunt. She is a bit timid, but she’s a lovely dog, loving and kind. Hopefully someone will notice her.

    (Pic below) The Galgo has left but the smooth Ibizan is still there. She is young, super affectionate, gentle and playful, about 8 months old.

    Contact for fostering or adopting in Spain adoptadelaperrera@gmail.com
    For pension or adopting through an association bracobuddha@hotmail.com

    Lovely video of the Baas Galgo podencos which were in the Villa del Rio shelter, Cordoba. The association was given notice to leave by the beginning of November (nothing the association had done wrong, the place is owned by galgueros!) If you can offer a forever home to any of the pods, contact the associations on the video, direct.

  • Podencos urgently need lifesavers – Badajoz and Toledo!

    Badajoz podenco Jim 250 11 2012Heartbreaking stories – Jim is a young podenco on death row in Badajoz perrera, due to be killed on 29th November. Toledo is where the other little podenco is injured and in danger. Here are their stories.

    JIM is a young podenco medium size, very affectionate but nervous – of course, he’s wondering why he is in the perrera. In the video you can see he wants to be friends, in a few days in foster or adoption he would be a happy hound again. If he stays where he is, he will soon be wet, cold and frightened. Please help! He will be murdered on 29th November. SOS Perrera Badajoz 29th November Contact buck_greywolf@hotmail.com

    And this little young podenco was abandoned long ago in a village;

  • Training a Podenco

    Gizzy Jane Jones 200Podencos come in many shapes and sizes, from the little Podenco Erbano and Maneto to the big Podenco Campanero, with several different types in between!

    But they all have one thing in common, a real zest for life, no matter what hardships they have suffered in their previous life before rescue.

    Jane Jones has recently adopted one, and she would like to share her experience of training a podenco.

  • Arrecife, Lanzarote – SARA Protectora Podenco Publicity Day!

    SARA Lanzarote even 190t 24 11 2012I’m catching up on posts, as have been away on holiday for a week with my son and grandsons. Here’s a marvellous event which is much needed in the Canary Islands where the podencos have a very hard life, and local people need to know what marvellous pets they can make.

    SARA Lanzarote are organising an event on 24th November at Arrecife, and hope that it’s not too late for podenco associations elsewhere and on mainland Spain to organise something at the same time. Here’s the report from SARA Lanzarote.

  • Valencia Podenco Nika – now in the refuge but desperately needs a foster home for his medical treatment and rehabilitation

    I can’t believe that no one has come forward to foster this poor boy, with a cord so tight round his neck, he couldn’t swallow. He shouldn’t be in the refuge, he needs a home environment for his medication and rehabilitation. Can no one help?!!
