  • Podenco Tiesto with Tail Torrox – waiting for a forever home

    Tail Torrox Tiesto 400
    Tiesto is another stunning podenco ready for his forever home. Here’s what Tail Torrox says about him.

    ‘Tiesto was found running loose in a nearby village. He is estimated to be born in January 2019, weighs 16kg and is 47cm in height. He is a super friendly podenco who loves everyone. He gets on great with other dogs and is full on energy. He would benefit from some lead training and would make a fantastic pet.’

  • PACMA protest outside the Spanish Government, for inaction on animal welfare

    Pacma 26 2 2020 400
    This is a google translation of this article into English

    Who do they fear? Who do they protect? Why haven’t they taken it forward?

    Last week we have returned to Congress to remind the PSOE and We can that animals are still waiting, they need a law to protect them. But not just any law.

    They need a law that outlaws torture in festivities and shows, that frees them from circuses, that prevents them from being traded with their lives, turns them into objects and condemns them to abandonment. They need a law that takes them away from hunter bullets.

    They need the Zero Law, which requires only political will, courage and conviction, because the work has already been done.

  • STOP PODENQUEROS!

    Stop Podenqueros 400 1 2020
    Although the podencos sometimes accompany the hunters, it is the dogs themselves that are used very often as hunting weapons by hunters.

    The activity of hunting with podengos involves mass breeding, the selection of ” best ” individuals for that activity and the very abundant discarding of all dogs that do not ” give the size ” required by their owners. Descartes that carry their abandonment, they are deposited in perreras where they will be sacrificed if no one claims them, their sacrifice by unscrupulous veterinarians without scruples or ethics, or directly they are abused and killed by the same owners, in many terribly cruel ways.

    No one comes to this world to be used to hunt and be discarded after, like a useless tool…
    No one comes into this world to live a life of misery, chained, with barely food or water, in the weather or between excrement…
