  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    For donations please:

    Thank you very much!’

  • Malaga – 2 podencos needing a home

    John Doze pod 1 400 6 2022
    I received the following appeal in my Inbox this week. Maybe someone can help these 2 podencos.

    ‘I’m trying to find a home for 2 Podencos, they are 7 years old and I need a home for them as I’m moving back to England and cannot take the dogs with me. They come with their own kennels – see similar on this link. I have had them since they were a couple of weeks old and
    abandoned in a cardboard box.

    Attached are a couple of photo’s of them, I would be most pleased if you know of anybody that would like them. I live near Vinuela. Email me please.’

    The charming village of La Vinuela (Little Vineyard) is situated 45 kilometres from Malaga and 19 kilometres from the coastal town of Torre del Mar, in the stunning natural surroundings of the Axarquia region.

  • Charl del Rio -112carlotagalgos – on crates for dogs

    Albacete perrera 400 2 May 2011 damitai2
    In all my 70+ years of living with dogs from puppies to old dogs, I have never felt the need to use a crate. But these days it’s become fashionable to use a crate if someone can’t train/control their dog. I think – well, human, how would you like to be shut in a cage?’ So this is a very informative article by Charl del Rio, founder of 112carlotagalgos in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga, on this very subject and why one shoule NEVER use a crate on a galgo or podenco.

    ‘IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    CRATES/TRANSPORTINES/BENCHES AND GALGOS AND PODENCOS

    Please remember galgos are not greyhounds and come from an entirely different background. Many a galgo or podenco has been rescued from a severely dark place and time in their life. Many many are rescued from dark small hovels, under ground and in some cases with pallets on the top.

  • URGENT – temporary UK foster home sought till September

    Foster podencos 6 2022 400
    URGENT FOSTER HOME ENGLAND NEEDED FOR ZOLA AND LOUIS …. PLEASE SHARE

    Laura Greenway is in the process of competing on a purchase for a new home in the UK only to be told at the last moment the house would not be finished until the middle of September. She had already agreed to leave her current house and can not find anywhere to rent for 3 months which will take dogs.

    She is asking if there is anyone out there that would be willing to foster Zola and Louis until her new house is ready. Ideally together has they are very bonded but could go to separate places.

    Both are 5 years old and live with cats need a Podenco secure garden, and house trained.

    Laura really could do with some help, her eldest daughter has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer, so to know she has some where safe for her dogs would take some pressure off her.

    They are currently located in Kettering but she is able to transport them.

    It you can help, please email Lauren lauragreenway9@hotmail.com

  • 12th June 2022 – Feria with Podenco Campaneros – with hunters who have no shame!

    Ferria of Rehala Podencos 400 6 2022
    From Podenco Campanero – Adopcion Espana

    ‘It still amazes us that there are Town Councils that dignify and make this a FAIR IN ITS 1ST EDITION. The shotgun and hunting bullets – WE DON’T WANT THEM ANYMORE.

    In this country, the dignity of these dogs is not respected, who are slaves of abuse, treated as mere instruments and mostly survivors or victims of extreme living conditions. Until they are thrown out and evicted by the very same ones that feed them.

    Those who survive are a minority we find broken and annulled, old, sick, eaten by parasites and with their necks smashed by their collars. With mutilated ears and buttocks and with scars from boar bites.

    The hunters have no shame and they show their cultural level. Sad and very sad. Stop making death posters and dare to post the hundreds of cases of animals found destroyed by this “brave task of killing.”

    WE DO THIS EVERY DAY.’
