  • Help needed for 2 young podencas in Jaen

    Fabienne Lola 3 170
    This is an appeal from Fabienne Thys for help with two young podencas…they need foster and forever homes. Is there anyone who can help. These are their details.

    Lola is living in the courtyard of a member of our association. We think she was pregnant in the summer but she disappeared before having her puppies. She reappeared last month (October) and alone.

    Rubi is literally on the streets. She is being fed by some people but is very scared and hard to be approached. We need help to catch her and for somewhere for her to go in foster to help her adjust to life in a home, as she is in danger on the streets, both from an accident or getting pregnant again. A kennel will be no place for her.

    Both podencas are in Jaen, Southern Spain and contact info is the following:

  • A message for Dog Breeders

    I hate dog breeders251 11 2015This is a message for dog breeders – you contribute to the over-population of dogs and the mass killing of dogs as a result. This especially is for the galguers and cazadores who overbreed galgos and podencos and to everyone else in Europe who breeds galgos and podencos. TIME TO STOP BREEDING THESE HOUNDS!

  • Malaga – Older is Gold – Podenco Andaluz waiting forever

    Podenco Annie 250 10 11 2015This is an appeal for forever homes for a couple of deserving podencos who have been waiting far too long for their families. They are both in Malaga, Spain, in the Old for Gold group on facebook. Please give them a chance. Anne explains

    ANNIE
    Annie was brought to us by the Guardia Civil. She was very emaciated and the soles of her feet were completely worn. Her feet really hurt her a lot. She had been reserved very soon after her arrival by someone who wanted to adopt her but then she turned out to be leishmaniasis positive and the people did not want her any more.

    Fortunately Annie does not have any symptoms. Annie is already an older lady who we
    think was born in 2004.It is time for her to find some real happiness after living a very rough life.

  • Galgos and Podencos demonstrate in Madrid against the Toro de la Vega

    73 photos of t-shirts worn in the Manifestation on 4th October 2015 in Madrid, against the Toro de la Vega where sick men on horseback chase a beautiful black bull, jabbing their long lances into his body till he drops.

    Great way of publicising the galgos and podencos.

  • Rescued from Spain, lost in UK!

    I’m always advocating adopting a podenco from a recognised established rehoming association which will make detailed homechecks and follow-ups, and who will also be there to take the dog into their care should the adoption fail for whatever reason. So, to have a podenco sold on Gumtree (it’s not the first time a podenco has been advertised on Gumtree or Preloved) and another in a Scottish refuge (however good the refuge is) is unacceptable.

    It is also unacceptable for someone in the UK to consider adopting an overseas rescue dog for breeding purposes. Reputable rehoming associations sterilize their dogs before they are homed.
