This beautiful podenca is in the municipal shelter in Albergue, San Bartolome, Las Palmas, Canary Islands. Her main hope of a special forever home is on mainland Europe. Please consider offering her a forever home.
‘I know, I’m not like the others, I need to be more careful because I was born with a wrong leg and I need to fix it when I grow up and this is why… that I’m not like the others.
But I have two ears…. two beautiful eyes and most of all a heart… just like the others … who can give you so much love and show you how grateful I would be to come into your life forever. I believe in you, and I wait for you. With love BONNIE.
FAUDA – Federation of United Associations for the Defence of Animals – on Gran Canaria recently supported the Campaign against hunting dogs being exclused from the Animal Protection Act.
Susana Griso joins the campaign so that hunting dogs are not excluded from the Animal Protection Act. It is unacceptable that dogs who are the most vulnerable are left out of the law that should protect them.

Regular readers will know that in December last year I adopted a very timid 8 year old podenca called Rosely. It’s been a long journey introducing her to the outside world away from breeding babies for a Spanish hunter.
She follows me everywhere – literally! – but is getting over her separation anxiety, with her housemate blind podenco Bo. She sleeps on her bed at the side of mine every night, nowadays she’s usually there before me! Until last night. My other half was out at an evening meeting and she refused to come to bed until he returned, barking a welcome on his arrival.
So I joked with him that in future he’d better not be too late, because instead of his wife waiting up for him, it will be her dog!!
A house dog…. A hunting dog. Spot the difference?! ALL dogs need legal protection.
The Spanish government wants to exclude hunting dogs from the new animal protection laws.
Please speak out for the abused hunting dogs of Spain. They are the very same dogs as pet dogs! The same sentient beings who deserve to be cared for and who have rights to a good life. They need to be protected by the same laws.
Same Dogs. Same Law.
Find the 7 differences! If you don’t see any, it’s because THERE ARE NONE.
Let it be heard loud and clear: SAME DOGS, SAME LAW. It couldn’t be more obvious!

‘This is Perla .. for adoption .. video
Back in February 2022 Kate Howey took in this very terrified Podenca that had been on the streets for some time.. Now 7 months on she is a much more confident girl and gets on well with all of Kates other dogs.
Perla is 3 years old has her passport vaccinated and spayed, approx 20 kilos she is playful but also calm and would be better placed with another dog in the home. She is not cat friendly.
Kate has tried to find her a home via other rescue groups but sadly no interest in Perla .. could we share her video and see if that forever sofa is out there for this very pretty girl.

Dogs used in hunting are not second-hand dogs
The lawyer specializing in Animal Law, Dulce Aguilera, explains in this short video the reasons why hunting dogs should not be excluded from the Animal Protection Act. Conducts an excellent legal exposition that is also full of common sense. She is one of the biggest legal advocates of greyhounds, podencos, and in general all dogs intended for hunting (also obviously of other animals). We recommend your viewing.
Gal From Galgos del Sur, we ask the PSOE of Pedro Sanchez not to exclude hunting dogs from the future Animal Protection, Rights and Welfare Act.
To avoid this, we will use all the measures that are within our reach and provided by the legal order. Listen to our lawyer Dulce Aguilera from the office of Justice- Animals & Environment

It’s especially important to let blind dogs sniff as that is how they find their way around.
Torrox is on the Costa del Sol but not a place the tourists tend to visit, as it has apartment blocks rather than big hotels. But like most of the rest of Spain it too suffers from too much animal abandonment and that’s where the Tail Torrox shelter comes in. Founded in 2008, they currently have plenty of podencos hoping for forever homes, on this page you can read all about them.
This tiny is Mona. Mona came in with her puppies. She is estimated to be born 14.2.2018 and weighs 8.6kg and 40cm in height. She is typical of the breed, shy but sweet and timid with strangers. She plays well with a mixed group of dogs. She has tested positive for leishmaniosis. If you are interested in offering a forever home, email info@tailtorrox.es about her.
