Podenca Reina hoping for a forever home
Reina – a queen Podenca. She was handed a hunter… and it makes us so sad to think how easily some people get tired of an animal when it stops serving them as a tool of work. Fortunately she’s still a happy, noble and affectionate hound and is looking forward to finally finding a real family.Almost 5 years old and sociable with other dogs. We don’t think she would fit in with cats because he has quite a hunter instinct.She is in Murcia and can be adopted anywhere in Spain, as long as they personally come to the shelter to pick her up.Para adoptarla podéis escribirnos a: adopcionesalmohadillas@gmail.com -
The plight of the Podencos of the Canary Islands
Podencos in the Canary Islands lead a hellish life and sadly the cost of adopting one to a forever home in Europe is very expensive.
This video from Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends shows how some of them are kept, only let out to hunt.

Podenca Coco hoping for a forever home.

Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com

The true face of desolation – old Podenca in the perrera

The true face of desolation. Noelia a granny who lived a very hard and unhappy life. Her little legs are very sore. So little and cute.
Weighing only 9 kg. Only looks for affection since she could never felt anything similar to a caress..She only served to give birth year after year. She’s 10 years old but it seems like a lifetime of bitterness and pain has taken its toll on her. You just have to see her, poor thing.A perrera, the last place for an elderly podenca abandoned by her hunter who she served faithfully for 10 years!
