Another podenco found in a terrible state…urgently need a foster home for him where he can receive the medical help and care he needs.
‘Podenco found in very bad condition…we took him to the vet and he has no chip. He is a male of one year more or less. We are looking for a foster home for him to recover… for more information you can contact phone Spain (0034) 674719552 or 634782262. He needs help and to be in a home not in a shelter’
Trying to find out where he is.
This adorable little rough haired Podenca is with Protectora de Animals Morrazo and she is waiting and waiting for a forever home. Here’s what they say about her.
‘Leila has spent a lot of time in the protectora and after two failed adoptions we couldn’t give her back to her kennels so a volunteer took her to cure an allergy and see what the problem there was with a podenca that only weighs 6 kilos. We have to say that Leila is pure joy and tenderness but the months pass and what promised to be a short stay is extended, which harms this beauty.
Our fosterer has 6 dogs apart from those who need homes. Leila needs a definitive home where she finally sits in her place. Will you be her angel and offer that to her? Please help us to keep helping.

Jerome Guillot is a friend from some years ago when we travelled as members of the L’Europe des Levriers team into Spain to bring back galgos and podencos to France for homing.
Jerome is the founder of the association CREL and was also one of the original organisers of the Strasboug march to publicise the plight of the galgos and podencos. Here’s the latest news from him.
‘I am jérôme guillot, founder of the CREL association for the protection of galgos and podencos in July 2009 and sponsored by MICHÈLE STRIFFLER MEP 2009-2014. At our last general assembly, all members voted for the CREL to become a federation .
It is now done, an avocate specializing in foundations has drafted the statutes of the Federation. The aim is to bring together all the European Greyhound/Galgo Protection Associations, initially, to put pressure on MEPs and governments. The Union will make strength, we must unite to fight against the abuse inflicted on greyhound and podencos in Spain, Ireland and elsewhere.
We invite associations to become members of the federation…Already 23 associations have joined – 17 French, 5 Spanish and 1 SLOVENIAN
Find out, visit the website, join the Crel Federation. We are at your disposal.
Ok, another petition to sign…but let’s support our Spanish friends who have to keep trying to get something done about the situation for the Spanish hunting dogs. Please sign and share.
This video was shown on Canary TV in September…the hell for the podencos continues, the volunteers continue to fight to help them, and the bloody authorities don’t give a damn!!
Esme and her partner are passionate about their adopted podenco Bo to such an extent that they are undertaking climbing one of the mountains in the Everest range.
Here’s what Esme says. ‘We will be attempting to summit Kyajo Ri, a rarely climbed, 6,186 meter mountain in the Everest region of Nepal. Kyajo Ri is a mixed medium (rock and ice) technical expedition peak, with many challenges to overcome to reach the summit.
Our trip will start in the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, we will then spend the next 3.5 weeks acclimatising on the Everest Three High Passes trek to ensure that we are in peak condition for the mountain ahead.

Please sign and share widely urgently. Support the galgos. Translation of first couple of paragraphs.
We asked Brígida Pachón, municipal delegate of Social Welfare, to suspend the competition of Galgos and avoid animal abuse and adopt measures of assistance and improvement of the quality of life of the ursaonenses with functional diversity without twists and turns.
We say no to an act that includes animal abuse (competition of greyhounds and this year hares are rabies because they are sick) and that puts as an excuse the presumed benefit of people with special needs. The City Council of Osuna announced the ninth edition of an event with a supposed end of fundraising for a Center for Horse Therapy and horse-assisted interventions.
From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends – desperate for podencos on Lanzarote
‘As much as it gives us a sense of joy when we share the successful adoptions, the reality is we have to rescue these dogs from difficult circumstances and this is where it all starts.
Laura of the Kennel Club on Lanzarote and myself created a joint project “Saving the Lanzorote Podencos” and have worked together for over 4 years helping the Podencos on the island. Last week we had 4 fly over to Spain and we thought we had finally caught up and time to breathe. Sadly it just doesn’t work like that and over a couple of days the perrera had 6 adult podencos and a puppy ranging from 6 months to 10 years old handed in along with some other dogs.
This place has very limited facilities, the dogs were over-crowded in small kennels and fights broke out and a couple of the Podencos were injured, So it begins …
Tabrirma Onassis Jaky sends this video. Hopefully you can view it, it is on facebook. If not, it shows dozens of podencos of chains about 1 metre long with small wooden kennels in a rural area in the midst of a vegetable growing area.
Barranco de Santos, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
