  • Tribute to the wonderful Podenco

    Tribute to the Podenco 400 11 2022
    The podenco dog categorized as a type of hunting dog, has its origin in Ancient Egypt and later spread to the Mediterranean coasts by the Phoenicians. His appearance resembles a jackal or the image of the Egyptian god Anubis.

    Of an exceptional beauty, proud print the podenco has suffered in its own bodies the stigma of being categorized as a hunting dog and being used as an instrument for it, without having any consideration for its character and sensitivity. but his hunter ability has not wrecked him as animal of company in the home…

  • Podencos In Need Scotland – podencos waiting for forever homes

    PINS 1 400 11 2022
    From the PINS page on facebook.

    ‘These are some of the pods currently in Paradise kennels, with whom we work closely. As we have so many dogs under our care both in Spain, in paid accommodation, and in foster in the UK, we can’t take on any further dogs specifically as “PINS dogs”. However, we can share some of the dogs who are in the same residencias as our dogs and are currently looking for homes.

    PINS will be able to arrange the adoptions in the same way as always, however, we can’t bring these dogs over to foster, they need to go straight to forever homes, as we simply don’t have the funds to cover their prep and travel without an adoption fee to help offset the costs.

    If you would like to apply to adopt one of these lovelies, please complete the form on this weblink and we will send more info.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert, Seville – overflowing with podencos needing forever homes

    The great forgotten ones…

    When we think of dogs abandoned for hunting, we always think of galgos. But… what about all those podencos that are also used and thrown away by hunters?

    https://www.facebook.com/FundacionBenjaminM/videos/1864172617254413“>Watch the video

    At the Benjamin Mehnert Foundation, there are hundreds of them waiting for an opportunity, a helping hand, a family..

    If only we were guided by the heart, adoptions wouldn’t understand color or race.

    If we would only look into her eyes..

    Adopt a podenco. Save a life.

    Help us continue to save lives.

    Help us to continue saving lives.

  • Podenco William with Akira Dog Shelter – super podenco ready for his forever home

    From Hayley O’Brien at Akira Dog Shelter

    William needs a forever home

    William was a lucky boy, and he had the chance to spend a day out of the shelter with one of our fabulous staff members and her dog. He was so well-behaved and really enjoyed the canine company.

    William is only young at 12 months old.

    William travels well in the car and enjoys long walks. He is a dream to walk on the leash with no pulling. William is clean in his kennel. He is a very gentle soul yet still active and playful. He is hugely affectionate and loves a cuddle and a fuss.
    William is castrated and vaccinated, and he has a passport and microchip. He can travel if required, and we are happy to help with transport arrangements.

    You can contact us for further information on Whatsapp at +34 657 689 567. You can also email akirashelter@aol.com.

  • Podenco Tangu in Cordoba – hoping for a forever home

    Tangu 1 400
    From Salvando Corazones Peludo

    Tangu has no past, only a future.

    Tangu is full of tenderness that treasures in his soul, transcends his skin, and when you pat him your arms embrace so much love. It melts and you melt. He doesn’t feel the cold anymore, only the beat of a single heart, yours melted with his and takes your breath away….

    And you look at him and he looks at you, and you kiss him and he kisses you, and you talk to him and he answers you… with the look, with the ears, with the soul of podenco, with the rescue heart that only knows gratitude. He has an ocean of joy and affection to share, to spend without scars with you, your human and dog family, every single day for many years.

    Tangu, joy, tenderness, affection and loyalty wrapped up in some of that shyness that disappears at a kind gesture.. you can’t ask for more from a creature of just 10 kilos and 10 months, but if you ask for the moon he will bring it to you!!!.

  • Blind Podenco Bocelli finds his feet at the dog park

    Bo Sutterton 2 400
    It’s now 10 months since we adopted blind Podenco Bocelli from Blind Dogs UK, and rescued by volunteers working in Spain with Ibizan Hound Rescue. The vet thinks his blindness was caused by an untreated eye infection when he was tethered and starved on the end of a chain in the Lorca region of southern Spain. He can see shadows, but his sense of direction is governed by his acute hearing and amazing nose!

    Trained to walk up a ramp into the back of our car, each Sunday morning we take him and his housemate Rosely to a local private dog park where Bo enjoys wandering freely and confidently, in his own little world. Once a month he goes to the local Dog Cafe where he finds his way around the tables and chairs and he’s also been to the coast and paddled in the sea – always on lead there!

    So for anyone who has a dog losing its sight, don’t be concerned, they adapt amazingly well to life. And if you are thinking of adopting a dog, why not one from Blind Dogs UK – they deserve a forever home too.

  • When will they punish the right end of the lead?

    Debra Jefferson poem 400
    Although this poem is about a ‘dangerous’ breed, it could just as easily apply to any podenco in a perrera which has a kill policy, where the podencos are dumped by the hunter!
