  • La Palma podencos – some pix

    La Palma dogs 1400 24 3 2018
    Here is a google translation of the update on the rescue from the Aanipal Association facebook page.

    ‘We do not want to leave anyone in the inkwell who took part in this.

    To the mayor of Santa Cruz de La Palma Sergio Matos for mobilizing to this situation and seeking legal advice, to counsel Sandra Barrero for advising and mediating between the two parties, to the complainants of this problem, to all the people who have echoed Of this case (we have received messages of support from Los Angeles, France, etc. ), the police who accepted the order of the mayor and the holder who signed the temporary assignment of the animals.

    All of this has been a job for many, and at the end we have managed to improve the conditions of these animals. Granite to granite will make a mountain walking together for animal welfare’

  • Update on the La Palma podencos

    La Palma dogs out 1 400 23 3 2018
    From the Association Aanipal who got the dogs out on 23/3/2018

    ‘We want to thank the city hall of Santa Cruz de la palma for achieving the transfer (temporary) of these animals to our association. This means that we will have custody of these podencos until their legal owners provide a suitable space for them.

    So far, that’s all we could get.

    Today we will publish the pictures of the animals, last night we were out of strength.

    Thank you all for the support

  • Accommodation in La Palma, Canary Islands

    Las Palmas 6 400
    Las Palma, Canary Islands. What the holidaymakers don’t see – the cruelty the podencos suffer! This is a Google translation of the story…despite complaints for years, Seprona do nothing!

    ‘What I can tell you at this moment is that the seprona is in the knowledge of this case, is reported and has also been reported several times.. There is even one person who has complained twice. But from what I see sadly, it is not a priority. To keep spreading all of it is to put pressure on and I will not stand idly by.

    I don’t know how much I can do for you angels without a voice.. at the moment I want to make noise so that you can reach other horizons, to other eyes that maybe they didn’t know and that you don’t stay in oblivion. Who knows me knows the “bugs” that will have come out of my mouth, the helplessness and of course the pain of seeing you like this.. because when it comes to animals, regardless of their species I honestly curse those responsible…this kind of “shit with legs”, disgusting beings who keep in poor condition these living creatures!!

  • VERY URGENT APPEAL for podencos in Seville

    Seville podencos appeal 400 12 3 2018
    This is the message sent by a Spanish lady, Ana:

    “AN URGENT CASE OF COMPASSION, please I need help !!!. My neighbor has colon cancer and is always admitted to hospital. He is a widower, he has 6 Andalusian podencos plus 2, this man eats in a social dining room, he does not even have to think and he gives the dogs hard bread. When he is hospitalized for a few days, he asks for voluntary discharge because his dogs are alone and nobody goes to see them or anything. When he arrives the house is destroyed, all full of excrement and an unbearable, convalescent smell. He cleans as he can, he does not even have a bed because his dogs in his absence have destroyed it, well he would need adoptions. Seville capital. If any protector took over, it would be the best”.

    telefono (Spain 0034), rut 653665395, ana 626599128 email radhiosa@hotmail.com

    The dogs are all young, vaccinated and wormed but not neutered.

  • Podenco Leo in Valencia – he’s been waiting too long for a family

    Leo Rosemary MacDonald 400 25 2 2018
    The Podenca Andaluz comes in 3 sizes, small, medium and large and also smooth or rough haired. The small ones are like my little pod Bebe, 6.5 kg but with the biggest personality – she bosses all the galgos around. She has very cute ways, loves satsumas (got to keep the orange coat!, is small enough for lap cuddles. I can’t imagine life without her…although I never used to like little dogs! Here is a small podenco who has been waiting far too long for his forever home.

    This is Leo, who came into the PEPA animal charity in October 2015! He is only 7 kilos and is now 6 years old. He is very nervous outside his environment so he needs to go to someone who can bring him on the rest of the way. Please contact Rosemary Macdonald if you have room in your home and heart for this adorable little chap. Don’t let him wait any longer.

    The photo below is my Bebe having lap cuddles.

  • Foster home needed for Desmo

    Desmo 400 28 2 2018
    It is always sad that so many people won’t keep an older dog, hunters especially. The dog serves them faithfully for years and then they dump it in a perrera! Karin Behle tells the story of one boy.

    Desmo (a.k.a. duque) is in the perrera of Valencia. His owner ” doesn’t need an old dog “, that’s why he was ” sorted out “. We’re gonna save Desmo, he’s 10 years old. Desmo is vaccinated and castrated. We’re urgently looking for a foster for him. It is planned that he will travel to Germany on 20th April so Karin is searching for a foster home for him near Valencia, and then she will find a great family for him. Please email her if you can help.
