  • Podenca Lisa still waiting for her forever

    Akira Lisa and Casper 5 2025 350
    From Akira Dog Sanctuary

    Look at these 2, captured and looking incredibly guilty. Casper is currently pending reservations, but Lisa is still waiting, and she is going to miss her partner in crime when he leaves the shelter.

    Lisa is a stunner, and she is not a huge podenco. She is a medium-sized, and she has her wirey hair. She is a lovely girl and is so affectionate with people. She is good with lots of dogs but needs a soft introduction to some. She is currently in a large group of dogs and definitely enjoys their company. We can help facilitate any intros if needed.

  • Telde, Gran Canaria – Seprona finally take action against bad galgueros!

    The Canary Islands are notoriously hell for podencos especially. Because of the mountainous terrain, it is easy for unscrupulous hunters to keep podencos hidden in valleys away from public sight in terrible conditions, often overcrowded, no shade from the sun, and starved. So let’s hope this news is the start of an improvement for podencos on ALL the Canary Islands.

    FINALLY AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF SPAIN!

    The Telde City Hall in GRAN CANARIA has launched a large operation for Podencos on its territory, having finally identified hundreds of abandoned post hunting, and spotted by drones the Podencos wandering around the training and hunting areas.

    From Plataforma NAC

    ADOPTIONS FALL IN WORRIING WAY

    Dog adoptions are alarmingly falling despite the tireless work done by shelters and volunteer associations.
    There are more and more animals waiting patiently to find a forever home. Many of them have not had it easy and even suffered mistreatment.

    Introducing Aston, a young galgo who was abandoned and who, after spending several days on the street, was rescued. Now, he’s looking for a family that will love him and give him a new chance.

    Blanqui is looking for a very special home. This brave little girl has been through so much. While trying to protect her newborn babies, Blanqui was savagely attacked by another dog. The injuries were so severe that she had to have one of her legs amputated.
    But despite everything she’s endured, Blanqui remains a sweet, gentle soul.

  • Urgent donations needed for a badly injured podenco puppy

    Felipe leg 200
    Among so many sadness and adversity we have not updated Felipe’s condition, so we have named the podenquito that we rescued last week when we were coming back from the kennel.

    Well, after being admitted to the hospital of Puente Genil, Cordoba, and advising us that his paw should be amputated, we decided to ask for advice from our colleagues from Galgos 112, because they unfortunately have very complicated cases and we know that they are also the best veterinarians.

    Esther, who is wonderful, helped us get some of the money for Felipe’s expenses.. And we have moved Felipe to one of the clinics at Galgos 112 for a second evaluation.

    We are very grateful to the Hospital of Puente Genil as they have taken care of Felipe wonderfully, and we also thank the Aimar Clinic for having welcomed him so lovingly as you can see video“>in the video.

    Felipe is still stable. He eats very well. The wound looks very good but it still has no deep sensitivity or flexor reflex.
    He is being treated with fluid therapy, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics.

    Thanks to, among others, Galgos 112 Ofcial, how wonderful they are.

    Please help with vet fees.

  • UK Vet Fees – petition to sign and share

    This petition is demanding the setting up of an independent regulatory authority to curb the diabolical vet fees in the UK. You need a UK postcode to sign and share.

    Petition weblink

    Last year the Competition and Markets Authority undertook a look at vet clinics not being upfront about charges etc. This weblink give extensive details of their report, last March. Not that it will do anything to stop vets selling out to speculative companies which demand their share of vet charges.
