  • A Dog is for life – not just for Christmas – share the message

    A Dog is for Life poster 400 11 2012Share the message – so many people STILL buy puppies for Xmas only to discard them when they get destructive, larger than expected, a nuisance when they want to go on holiday!

  • Podenco Friends – overflowing with podencos ready for adoption

    Bev 4 coloured podencos 400 12 2016A message from Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.

    ‘Everyone has always answered our call to help sharing our podencos for adoption and we have had great success. But again we ask for you help. To find homes in Spain for Podencos is limited so we look to other countries and we ask for your help to share their details as much as possible. This is the lifeblood of any rescue unless people are aware we have so many waiting for their forever sofa they will remain here.

    These are some of our ours for adoption, we have more that are not ready for their next stage in their lives. We have a number reserved for the new year but have come to a position where we can not accept anymore until some are re-homed. We don’t have space to take any more in. Unless stated all of them have been tested negative for Leishmania, Filaria, Ehlrichia, Lymes and anaplasma all are sterilised unless they are puppies. Thank you for your support

    The album is on facebook so, unless you are on there, I am not sure if you can see it.

  • Axarquia Animal Rescue, Malaga province – podencos waiting in hope

    Axarquia Kitty 400 12 2016It’s just over a year ago that I met, at the PAES conference in Murcia, 3 lovely ladies from Axarquia Animal Rescue in Malaga province. An important notice for anyone supporting them is that they have a new website – just one letter different from the previous one but very important that the new one is used!

    They have some fabulous podencos waiting for forever homes – contact them direct if you are considering adopting a podenco. Here are some of them.

  • Feria (Badajoz) – podenca puppy injured – urgently needs treatment

    Feria (Badajoz) podenca puppy injured 400 12 2016It’s nearly 10 years since I became heavily involved with the plight of the podenco and galgo and it doesn’t get any easier; I find it hard not to respond to so many of the urgent appeals which arrive in my Inbox! The following is an appeal not dissimilar to the one I received about 8 years ago of a little podenca badly injured on a Spanish road and needing urgent vet treatment and care. On that occasion it was my little Bebe – still bossing the much bigger galgos around and still very mobile on 4 legs!

    This little podenca puppy has just been rescued badly injured from a Spanish road – barely able to stand. She’s in the Feria area of Badajoz, not a good area for hunting hounds at the best of times. I’ve appealed widely on facebook (that’s the only contact I have for the lady who took her in) for an association to take her in and get her into a vet clinic. The refuges are full to bursting, fingers crossed one can help asap.

  • Exposing the cruently of the Cazadores of Tenerife, Canary Islands – take action

    The Canary Islands. Video of voiceless Tenerife. The harsh reality, that everyone should know.

    So live the hounds… in very poor conditions, locked in oppressing filth 24 hours a day, tied up, malnourished, and surrounded by faeces… enduring the heat of summer and the winter rains… their looks of terror say it all….

    When they don’t want to hunt or at the end of the period of hunting the cazadores abandon them or kill them, because they no longer “serve”

    Not hunting with hounds and other races!!!!!

  • Gran Canaria Podencos – keep signing and sharing

    Please keep signing and sharing to help the Gran Canaria podencos.

  • Portuguese Podengo Florence – waiting for her forever home

    Dogs of Portugal have this absolutely gorgeous young Portuguese Podengo waiting for her forever home. You can see photos and videos of her on this weblink. Please someone, give her a chance.

    If you are thinking of adopting a podenco, please adopt from a shelter. There is a list of rehoming associations here. Don’t adopt from a perrera. Ignore the cries of ‘these dogs will be killed’ because what happens if they are saved – they end up in a shelter, if there is room for them, and then could wait years before getting a home.

    Remember, if you adopt a dog from a shelter, then that leaves space for another podenco – maybe abandoned in the campo, starving and injured on a roadside.

    Adopt from an association, not a perrera.

  • Please sign and share the Petition for all the Spanish hunting hounds

    Petition 400 17 11 2016Please sign and share this petition, not just for podencos but for all the hunting hounds on mainland Spain and the Canary Islands. Spanish Dictionary translation, sorry it’s not perfect, but you get the meaning!

    We ask that you register abusers of animals and avoid having for life animals ,which it may not have animals to prevent follow maltratandolos SINCE THE LEGISLATION IN SPAIN IS CRUEL TOWARD THE ANIMALS AND called things !!
