  • Justice for Podenco Mr Bones – a call for change

    Mr Bones 400 11 2024
    From Bev Farmer

    ‘This is a long but important post and it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it. Paws on Hearts/Aguiproan Animal Rescue And Rehoming

    As a rescuer, this is one of our greatest fears. Many rescues, including Paws on Hearts Animal Rescue and Rehoming, work tirelessly to ensure their dogs are safe, even after rehoming. A common practice is to dual-register microchips in both the adopter’s name and the rescue’s name. In theory, this system ensures that both parties must be consulted before a rescue dog is euthanised.

    But tragically, this safeguard failed Mr. Bones. He is not the first rescue dog to be euthanised without a rescue’s knowledge or consent — and heartbreakingly, he won’t be the last unless change is made.

    Most of our dogs are out of the kennel and placed into temporary foster homes. The two remaining are inside the house that is in the kennel, and they will leave today.
    There are still other dogs in the kennel that aren’t ours, but it seems the legal owners don’t want them to go into foster homes..

    Now is the time to clean, fix and rebuild!
    If you can come help, it will be appreciated.
    Here is a video of the state of the kennel. It’s full of mud and water. The fences are broken, ripped from the ground. All the dog food is gone. The dog beds are gone or broken.

  • 2 legged podenco

    Today we ask you something very important for someone very special. Some people who follow us years ago know who Cas is, for the new we explain, Cas appeared run over in the year 2015, the fractures were very severe and after many surgeries finally had to amputate both legs on the same side, we always bet on him despite that the recommendation was euthanasia, in these nine years he proved us that we did the right thing by living a full and happy life, without any kind of restriction.

    Now Cas is starting to get older and needs a chair adapted to his needs, which is very difficult as it is not a normal case, we need someone who controls and knows how to make him adapted to him. Recently we saw a post from @mbenzespana that his engineers had made one, We make this post to get a chair that allows Cas to walk and make his life a little easier.We ask you to share the post to have more chances that this year Cas gets his much deserved Christmas

  • SOS Podencos shelter flooded out

    Floods appeal for shelter 450 10 2024
    From SOS Podencos

    Edu, the kennel owner, is alive and seems physically well but he is in shock. Nobody rescued him even if the rescue services were contacted several times for almost 12 hours. They were collapsed. So many people are trapped or missing, so only one person and dogs weren’t the priority.

    Most roads are still closed but his son could go to the road near the kennel that is higher and throw him food over the fence. Some dogs were barking. We don’t know the extent of the damages and the animal deaths.
