  • Young podenca hoping for a forever home

    Nara 2 400
    This gorgeous young podenco is with an association I haven’t heard of before. So here’s the story of the podenco and links to the association in Seville.

    ‘Asociación LASA, La Sonrisa Animal de Brenes, Sevilla

    Nara is still in residence, no one has offered to take her in. It’s very cold there and they spend the day boring lying down. Nara is a young puppy, she is only one year old and she wants to play and walk freely, not spend the day alone in the cold and locked in.

    She’s a little 11.5 kilos, she’s a beauty inside and out. With a loving character towards people, very noble and good. She gets along great with other dogs, active and playful.

    Please a house for her until her forever family arrives, even if it’s only the cold months. This young girl has suffered enough and deserves a good home.

  • Abandoned podenco puppy – thank goodness for animal volunteers in Spain

    This young couple, members of Patitas Por El Mundo Espana, with 2 small children were out driving to meet family for a New Year meal. Here’s the story.

    ‘When we left home to go eat with the family (because not even Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve nights have we been able to have dinner with them, for having a thousand animals to attend to and not be able to get home late for them), because I tell my boyfriend : “Which one will be the first of the year?”

    Well, it didn’t take us long to find out, as always in Cartaya, little baby of about 6 months, skeletal, bones, with a lot of fear, she was coming bent down, with her tail between her legs and peeing out of fear…

    Not right for an animal to get to this state… And while Cartaya’s aid promoting hunting and rehoming… In the end…It will happen as always, that once picked up no one cares about the animal or those who make the immense effort to rescue them.

  • End of hunting coming up – podencas being dumped in perreras

    Bandera in perrera Valencia 400 1 2023
    Tragic, older podencos who’ve been used for breeding now being dumped by their hunters in perreras for killing!! Heartless sub-humans! Luckily many perreras now don’t have a kill policy but associations are full to bursting too so these poor souls languish without hope. This is one such podenca – if you can help, message me and I will contact the lady publicising her, Jolina Behle.

    ‘BANDERA, Podenca, 12 years old, was brought to Perrera to die by her hunter … what is there to say… there are no words but ….. maybe she still has a chance. She’s medium-sized and socially tolerant. Who wants to adopt her or which shelter wants to take her in and help her find a warm place? One that she never had in her life. She is in a Perrera in the province of Valencia. PLEASE SHARE Joline Behle’

  • Podenco – left by the hunters to starve on the streets

    Starving podenco in Madrid 400 12 2022
    Heartbreaking that the damned Spanish Government still won’t take steps to prosecute this cruelty by the Spanish hunters, because too many of them are hunters themselves! Grrrr!

    This appeal is from a volunteer with no room to take the poor boy. So many Spanish volunteers live in apartments in towns and however much they want to, they simply don’t have the room to take in more dogs than they already have.

    This podenco is still on the street in a pitiful stage with the chip cut out, which is badly infected. He’s suffering and it’s very cole and I’ve nowhere to put him. Urgent help please, he is small/medium, only 12kg in this starving state, and young.
    Madrid or Toledo areas. (Spain 0034) 628770887 or WhatsApp ask for IBAI

    He’s one of many discarded as hunting draws to a close at the end of this month.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – another new arrival escaping cruelty

    GRA podenco vet 400 1 12 2022
    Galgos Rescue Almeria recently picked up this podenco at the vet. This boy wandered around in Pulpi looking for food and a place to sleep. He was chased away, kicked and pelted with stones, which understandably makes him very fearful and suspicious of people. That made him very anxious. Luckily, he was able to be caught and removed from this hostile environment.

    Gabriel, this name is given to this angel, tested negative for the most common Mediterranean diseases. We’d like to thank Ana Ramos Sanchez for collecting Gabriel and bringing him to the clinic. Also a huge thanks to Helping Animals Almanzora helping support this gorgeous boy.

    Our vet bills are still very high. Please donate if you can, either by paypal or the Go Fund Me link.

  • La Sonrisa Peluda – Podenco waiting forever for a forever home

    Flaky 400 12 2022
    Flaky is a stunning podenco, completely invisible in the eyes of the world.

    No one wants to “complicate” life by adopting an “escape” dog.. Flaky can NOT be let go, he might as well jump a wall.. We do not know his previous “life” and he is NOT afraid, but if he is very curious.

    The great disgrace is to be born a Podenco in Spain. 5 long years waiting, hopefully Christmas is magical as they say.

    Flaky is one of those podencos who spend years and years in a shelter and no one notices them despite being absolutely wonderful. The only thing he doesn’t tolerate is cats, otherwise he is affectionate, playful, sociable, teaches shy little ones to play, loves walks and children. He’s 6 and a half years old and has been waiting for more than 4 in our shelter after his previous mom died.

    Will you help us give Flaky the life he deserves? He weighs only 10 or 12 kilos filled with LOVE

  • Seville – podenco starving on the street

    Carmina starving 2 400
    Many years ago I need help to get a small galgo puppy from Pepis Refuge Pedrera and lovely Carmina Alvarez-Rea in Seville was able to help with a stopover for Polar to be picked up by the official transport. She recently appealed for someone to takes this poor starving podenco off the street.

    Luckily she has now been taken to safety with the Seville Association ‘Speak for them Lebrja – Hablo por ellos Librija. This is a lucky podenca to be safe, so many are still abandoned and starving on the streets of Spain.

    If you can help with vet expenses, they will be very grateful.
