Special home required for Podenco Maneto Harry
Introducing the perfect Podenco Maneto, Harry. Here is his story. Please contact Rocio Cangas if you are the special person for him.
This wonderful little dog is in Madrid
Harry was found a cold night on the eve of Christmas of 2014. He was only 2 months of age, he was small and fragile. It was later when the people who rescued him realized why she had been abandoned. Harry has a physical deformation (among other things). Harry was born with his two front legs shorter than his hind legs, with the time got twisted, too. This makes it difficult for him to jump on the sofas and stuff like that. But he can run and climb steps without any problem.
Our little Harry is also autistic, in general terms, doesn’t obey, nor necessarily follow you or comes when he goes out for a walk, or you call him; you could easily lose him on walks if he is not supervised, as he tends to follow his own path.
Harry is also epileptic. This means that he has to take a couple of pills a day.
Harry used to spend hours alone in his foster home, so started to chew on everything he could find, this also helps him to relax when he feels just a little bit restless, but with a bit of supervision is fine. The ideal is to have a lot of things and toys he can bite, such as old t-shirts, old shoes, ropes, etc. For the rest, Harry is a very lovable dog, a love, loving and faithful.

Rescuing from a Perrera – advice from Mo Swatek of Pro-Galgo International
The debate about rescuing from a perrera when not living in Spain or the Canary Islands continues to rage. Here are words of advice from Mo Swatek of Pro-Galgo International, who recently drove 250kms to a perrera to rescue podencos and galgos with a short kill date, only to find there was no kill date for the dogs!
RESCUING FROM PERRERAS
**********
As the emotional blackmail and the sharing without checking the real situation is getting worse and worse, here some Suggestions how to reserve dogs from perreras without being cheated, overcharged etc.1. Do not work with private people if money is involved. Pay only to animal welfare associations or directly to the PERRERA.
2. Always insist in the name and exact location of the place.
3. Do not send dogs in residencia or foster care without full details of the person or residence Incl address, phone, legal permits etc. Be aware that many people make a living with private illegal fostering and you risk your dog’s being decommissed if there are no permits for dog boarding for more than 2 dogs. Most villages do not permit more than 5 dogs or pets in general per household!

Toxocara Canis – why people should clean up after their dogs/cats
We’re looking after our neighbour’s dog whilst they are away for a few days. She lives in the back garden with access to a large cool barn. We know they are not very good at cleaning up the garden of dog mess, but were horrified when we went in, to find just how much there was. What makes this worse is that they entertain in the garden…and even worse, they have a 2 1/2 year old son who plays in there!
For anyone who doesn’t know about the illness Toxocara Canis, find out more on this link. Please make sure everyone you know with a dog is aware of the illness.
Needless to say, we’re cleaning up the garden whilst we are ‘in charge’.

Spain – create a national register of animal abusers – sign the petition
Please sign and share. It’s a petition suggesting creating a Spanish national register of animal abuser. Maybe if it happens, then more people will be willing to make denuncias and more people will be prosecuted. Wouldn’t it be great if it could work on the galgueros!
