Two beautiful Portuguese Podengos needing forever homes. From Jackie Dias.
‘A friend of mine recently rescued this Podengo mother and her son. The mother (see pic)is a young adult and the youngster male is about 5/6 months old we think. They are placed in the north of Portugal close to Porto. Please contact: Jackie Dias jb.dias18@gmail.com if you can give either of them a place in your home and your heart.
From April Lamb. Dear Rescue Partners and Rescue Advocates,
Hound Sanctuary (USA) recently purchased, moved to, and retrofitted a much larger, more dog-friendly facility in order to have more room and more joy for more podencos, galgos, and others while we prepare them for and select their perfect forever homes. The sanctuary comprises a 5000 square foot building on about 2 acres of land that includes two very large yards, a medium sized yard, and a small yard, all with 6 foot tall, secured fencing.
This beautiful little boy is Bruno, a young Podenco Maneto found abandoned. He’s only 8-9 months old, certainly too young to be wandering the world on his own! The Maneto is a small type, similar to a dacshund in size, so suitable for smaller homes. He’s in southern Spain near Chiclana. Please contact Karen Dunn about him. In the last week they have taken in 6 abandoned dogs, they are overrun, so let’s find Bruno a forever home as soon as possible.

Animals are not owned by anyone, are our friends, and therefore do not have to be exclavizados to the hunt to kill other living beings.
In a “civilized” world as our supposed, as hunting sport should be prohibited but that over do it with the help of animals a lot more.
Hunters who take dogs, make them breed without control for luegocomerciar with the puppies, giving his “buddies” and selling online at second hand or in thousand anuncios.com. A true shame of sales in black. That the Government should control and does only so that autonomous working poor who pay as you can with your taxes.
Regular readers will know what an amazing couple Bev Farmer and Warren Beards of Podenco Friends, Murcia, Spain are in respect of their work with rescuing podencos, in the Murcia area of Spain. In my book ‘From Heaven to Hell – The Story of the Podenco, Bev has written a chapter on Training a Podenco. With her rescue podencos, she works on recall and leaves the rest of the training to the adoptants. There are now several podencos in the UK in training for agility competitions and Bev is thrilled to report that there is a Podenco taking part in an Agility Team in Crufts Dog Show in March 2016.
So here’s a video to introduce you to one of the stars of the team, Zarita. Get yourself comfy and sit back and enjoy the Ultimate Agility Podenco! Watch out, you Border Collies!

We found them!!!!!!!!!!!
The dogs are located in the municipality of slides, in facilities of recent construction, which shows the premeditation with this “Sir” Acts.
We’ve been waiting all morning to that, on the one hand, the official of the department of health of the city of Mogan and of another, the local police of that town hall, kindly fax over the order of confiscation of the animals to the police. Local of slides, so that these can act… And a moment ago we were told that they are not going to do anything!!!!!
