    Anna podenca 1 250 12 2011This is an urgent appeal for someone to take in this beautiful young podenca. She is in Anna, near Xativa in the Province of Valencia. This is the story from the lady who wants to save her.

    ‘I have been feeding her since October. I live in Anna which is about 20 minutes from Xativa. I have contacted PEPA and she is on their website but they have nowhere for her to go. I have also contacted SOS Galgos. No one seems able to help.

    She has a problem with her leg and she will need an operation which I would be happy to pay for. I do not want to remove her until I have somewhere for her to go.

  • Podenco Campanero Chaplin – a big softy looking for his forever family

    Chaplin 2 250 Campanero 10 2011
    This is Chaplin, a large curly-haired Campanero podenco in Seville. He was found in a bad state, with anaemia, ear, eye and skin infection, one ear deformed. He has also suffered burns. Luckily he was saved and treated by a vet, and has been in foster. But now he needs to find his forever family, or another foster home, as there are already too many dogs in the home.

    He is now well, a loving gentle boy, good with other dogs, desires nothing more than regular meals, kind caring hands, a comfy bed and company. Can you give this big boy his forever.
