  • Save the SPA shelters in France

    Can everyone please sign and share the below petition. The French government is about to approve legislation which will put a stop to subsidised employment contracts at, for example, SPAs. Without these contracts most SPAs will not have enough members of staff to keep going and the animals in their care will suffer. It is already so difficult for them with record numbers of abandoned animals!!!

  • Podenca Milagro – is there a home for her in Belgium or France?

    Milagro head 400 8 11 2017
    Milagro is a female podenca, aged 13 years who several years ago was rescued from a perrera. SOS Podenca Rescue Belgium & France are looking for an adoption or long term foster. She is negative for Mediterranean diseases.

    Unfortunately Milagro is not ok other animals, or children (-12 years), so the ideal home for rhis granny would be a couple of retired people with a big garden and a place to isolate her when children are visiting

    Let’s not let her finish her life alone in a kennel. A fairy godmother has volunteered to pay for her trip to the home where she can spend the rest of her life.

    Is there anyone who will love her and allow her to spend the rest of her life in dignity and safety? All veterinary charges are supported by the association.

    Pepi Ortega elderly podenca 400 7 11 2017
    Heartbreaking…this poor little podenca, chained up outside…no longer wanted by her owner. 11 years old, her future looks bleak. Surely she deserves rescue to see out her remaining years…she could live another 5…in comfort and knowing love and a warm bed. This is an urgent plea for any protectora or association who could take her, or for a foster. She is near Cadiz. Contact Pepi Ortega on (0034) 695458994

  • The Podencos of Lanzarote by Val Patterson

    I'm a podenco lover 400Since starting my galgo and podenco blogs 10 years ago, I have continuously appealed for help for the Canary Islands podencos. In the last three or 4 years, many more people have now responded to their plight, helped a great deal by publicity on facebook (one of the plus side of facebook). Val Patterson has now put together this lovely video and song. Please share and publicise the plight of the podencos in the Canary Islands.

  • Seville and Almeria – podencos needing help

    Lugo Seville podenco birthing 400 10 2017Life is hard for Spain’s hunting dogs…and there’s no let-up. The hunters take no responsibility for the suffering they cause. Here are two sad cases.

    First of all, this small Podenca is giving birth in the streets in Lugo, a village in Seville. None of them will last long, the pups could die of cold, the bitch needs to find food…the young women who are appealing for help for her have no room.

    CONTACT Spain 0034 (0)635130813

    The second story is about Merlin, only 1 year old, rescued but the other dogs in the shelter have attacked him and he’s been hurt in the neck. He’s too submissive and noble. He can’t defend himself. He needs a foster home urgently. Help SOS Almeria. Contact Carmen Maria Montes Rubio and Antonia on Spain 0034 (0)626944339
