The first of February marks the end of the Spanish hunting season. Dogs that ‘didn’t make the cut’ are brutally discarded.
On the first weekend of February, animal lovers gather across Spain and in other European cities, to protest about the treatment of the dogs and call for a ban on the hunt with dogs.
There is a peaceful protest taking place in London UK: 03/02/2024
This sweet small podenco is looking for his forever home, he’s been waiting a year already – a year of his puppyhood in kennels.
The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned…
A home is all Max wants. He’s been with our lovely transporter Roberto for almost six months now, and although he is safe & loved, it saddens us that all he’s known is being chained to a wall by the hunter he was saved from and then life in kennels. He is now around a year old, his whole puppyhood he’s never known what it is to have a family and home.
We are looking for a FOSTER or FOREVER HOME for Max – he’s spent enough time in kennels.
Max is an affectionate, friendly little boy with a side serving of shyness. He gets on well with all other dogs, and loves to have a play in the secure areas at Robertos place. He’s a gorgeous medium sized pod with a beautiful fluffy coat which makes us think he has some Xarnego in him.
Max is vaccinated, chipped, passported & free of all Mediterranean diseases.
Please contact Astrid Jordan or email helperspodsanddogs@gmail.com with the subject Max
Bayer, Leena and Zizou – INVISIBLE TO ALL
ONE YEAR IN KENNELS WITHOUT ANYONE ASKING ABOUT THEM !!!
Bayer, a 10-year-old senior, 15 kg. who still has a lot of gear and loves to play with his mates.
NO ADOPTION FEE.
Leena, a 3-year-old Podenca, 13 kg. she is calm and independent she gets along well with other dogs.
ZIZOU a 4-year-old cutie and weighs 11,400 kg. It is very noble and calm, he gets along with males and females.
All have belonged to a hunter, treated as mere hunting instruments for their purposes, they only knew their screams and bad manners, lived terrified. They were abandoned to their luck as if they were garbage and we rescued them from the kennel of Lucena and Cordoba to give them a new life that we have not yet gotten.

Hope for Podencos. Note Irene sadly passed away some years ago and Steve has returned to the UK.
Podencos in the Canary Islands suffer an horrendous amount of maltreatment and often end up spending their lives in shelters. Fuerteventura is one of the smallest of the Canary Islands and their fate is sealed as soon as they are born.
Join the Peaceful Protest in London in February 2024/
Every year in Spain the hunting season finishes on 1st February and now thousands march in cities throughout Spain to protest about the abuse and maltreatment of galgos and podencos. Thounsands of them thrown out in the campo, in perreras, on the street to get injured – because the bloody galgueros won’t keep a dog if it’s not hunting or breeding more galgos!
