  • Canary Islands podencos suffer horrendous abuse

    Indignation in Caleta de Famara: Inaction against animal abuse. In Famara, from Ademal Lanzarote

    Under the scorching sun of Famara, a lonely cry breaks our soul. At least four podenches remain locked in a windowless “dungeon,” where the only consolation is a beam of light from the ceiling. Their suffering is palpable.

    Despite having formally reported this situation on June 18, with witnesses corroborating the abuse and prior complaints against the same owner, inaction is the only response we have received. Desperation grows day by day as nothing changes.

    We can’t look away. These animals deserve to be saved.

    Share so that your outcry is heard and the authorities act.

  • Podenco Rupes in foster in the UK – hoping for his forever home

    PJ Rupes 2 350
    Podenco Rupes in foster in England.

    I’m Rupes! Rupi Rupes! I’m here in foster and I’m the most gentle, lovely most pure and calm boy you could ever wish to meet.
    I like the company of other doggies and I’m good with them all, even my teeny weeny foster sister. I’m happy to live with cats too!

    I’m only 6 years old, some people say I look older and wiser than my years. I’ve seen lots of bad things, so maybe that’s why.
    Nevertheless, I’m remarkably trusting and I wag my tail gently at everyone I meet. I don’t know my worth, even though my foster mum tells me I’m so special every single day. I need a calm and loving forever home with a family who can continue to make me feel loved. I’m a really easy boy, with a low prey drive, a dainty baby deer skip and a heart full of kindness.

  • Podenca Kaori with Galgos del Sur

    KAORA 350
    From Galgos del Sur

    Kaori is a beautiful, 6 year old big-eyed podenca dog we rescued from an olive grove in the middle of winter, terrified as she tried to protect the puppies she’d just given birth to from the cold. She probably belonged to a hunter who would use her for breeding for years, and when she was no longer useful to him, he abandoned her regardless of her condition. Thus, Kaori is a dog with many insecurities when it comes to interacting with people, and the shelter is too stressful a place for dogs like her, so her development is completely stalled here.

  • EU votes for animals (some animals) – report from Eurogroup for Animals

    On 19th June at 12:30, the European Parliament adopted its position on the proposal on cats and dogs with 457 votes in favor, 17 against and 86 abstentions.

    Hounds aren’t excluded.

    The outcome is generally excellent for our pets.

    Despite months of ups and downs and an endless list of exemptions, a sufficient majority of European Parliament MPs fulfilled their promises and ambitions, and continues the fight against the illegal trade of animals for their protection.

    Key results include:

  • Heatstroke in Dogs

    HEATSTROKE is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY! Fortunately, now more and more professionals are communicating the same message!

    Whilst the need for rapid cooling with COLD water (1-15°C) has been recognised for decades in equestrian and human medicine, the dog world has lagged behind, and very poor information still circulates. e.g. “cool the paws”, “cover with wet towels”, “avoid cold water as it will cause shock”

    THE KEY MESSAGES ARE…………
