URGENT – Podenco’s Owner died, abandoned in the garden
Grom Galgos Liberty.Very very Urgent !!!!!
Her anxious look haunts me!!!!
Looking for Foster or better adopters for Fly, podenco about 4/5 years old. Her owner passed away a week ago and is now alone in the garden. A neighbour comes to feed him and brings him home at night. I stopped by to see him this morning, Fly is scary, but within 10 minutes he came to me.
HE seems to have been neglected by the absence of care and regular absence of his master and spent a lot of time alone, Fly will therefore need reassurance to trust again. Living with dogs looks ok, for cats we don’t know.
This cutie is adorable and deserves to find her furever family.

Spain is still in the dark ages – no help for the hunting dogs
From Galgos en Familia.
WHERE ARE THEIR RIGHTS???
The Andalusian government declares unconditional help and support to the hunters, for what they declare, to be accomplices of torture. They declare to agree with the suffering, mistreatment, abuse and exploitation, which this sector systematically exerts on the dogs of the so-called “hunting breeds”
They also motivate them, through grants and bonuses
And we ask ourselves, where are their rights? The rights of all citizens who do not want to be complicit in this barbarism, of all of us who are not willing to be accomplices or executioners?
And most importantly, where are their rights? where are the rights of those animals that are tortured, slaughtered, killed and abandoned?

Valencia, Spain – another hell for Spanish podencos
This is a post from my facebook page from a lady appealing for help to publicise a serious case of cruelty to podencos.‘I am sending this message to all animal organizations.
I’m going to expose a situation of helplessness and injustice here, because I don’t know where to go.
In an area outskirts of Valencia, there is a hunter who has about 20 dogs in harsh conditions, without hygiene, between corpses, it only gives them sunlight when he takes them out to hunt, tied up with a half meter chain, one of them right now She has the paw broken with a wound of about 50 centimeters that will end up getting infected.
He has been reported, but he has the protection and the support of the area police because they are also hunters, so the complaints are left on wet paper.
He is committing a felony of abuse.
I swear if he reports me for entering his private property to get evidence (photos, videos), he should be a hair fall for violating animal welfare laws. From where I am you can hear the cries of the dogs day and night.
If you could send me a cable to spread the message, I would appreciate it. Let’s see if we can get those dogs out of that hell.

They are all on the weblinks below. Contact Hayley at Akira Dog Sanctuary if you have room in your home and heart for one.
Bonito – he’s lived in a home with cats
Merlin is a special case who needs to be adopted locally to the shelter in Spain
Podencos are intelligent active dogs who require more exercise than their Spanish galgo counterparts. They are delightful loyal companions and quite often clownish!

Introducing blind podenco Bocelli – a new learning curve for us
Bocelli (known as Bo) is the second of our newly adopted podencos. Unusually for a white podenco, he is blind rather than deaf as some white dogs are. My OH was actually looking to adopt another galgo but he spotted Bo on the Ibizan Hound Rescue website and was immediately drawn to him. Bo was also on the website of Blind Dog Rescue UK and so I completed the pre-adoption form with them and kept my fingers crossed!Bo had been in a wonderful foster home in the UK after apparently spending most of his 8 years on the end of a chain in a ‘horrible place’ in Lorca, Murcia. His fosterer believes he can see shadows/shapes and he adapted well to living in a home environment with other dogs.

Podenca Elize with Galgos Rescue Almeria
This podenco girl was found two weeks ago in Cuevas del Almanzora, looking for food among the trash cans of a restaurant, skinny, fragile, shy.Look at her now, Elize has become a real podenco as we know them.
Confident, a strong character and she can stand her ground among the much larger galgos.

Tiny injured podenca needing help from an association
This is such a tragic photo which appeared on my Podenco Post facebook page. Up to yesterday, no association had taken her. Have asked for more info.‘Update 02-01-2022 Well nothing we continue with more cases, rescued this afternoon, just have to look at it to know that she has escaped from hell. She has a chip, her owner a very older man couldn’t take care of her anymore and he was wrong, because he handed it over to an individual reported several times for not having the dogs in condition and going to collect animals from everyone who doesn’t want them. She was able to escape and was picked up scared and with a fatal foot between the olives. The cede, at least it’s in the name of its former owner, born in 2013.
We are that we can’t, we don’t have any means or room for so many and this dog will need surgery, desperately need an association or protectora to help. In a village of Jaén, hellhole for hunting dogs.
