Those of us who are in, or who grew up in the UK will find this unbelievable But please keep supporting ACTIN in their work. It is simply not possible to just break into the container and take the dogs…if it was, it would have been done!

Granada, Spain…under threat from the Spanish Cazador!
My heart breaks when I read stories and appeals like this, Look at the eyes of this podenca mom…please help me and my babies. An all too common in so many countries because people will not sterilise their animals! Diana explains.
‘This is,sadly, a too common drama in Spain. Seven podencos pups and the mum living rough in a plot in a field. The owner doesn’t want them there and is going to ‘make them ” disappear “. They are in a little tiny hunter’s village in Granada. I know it is a desperate call for help, but maybe we can do something. Maybe we can take the mum and spay her and maybe, take the pups as well… or maybe nothing. But I have to try! Anyone who can help? Contact Diana Fisio Salobreña (via facebook)

Valencia Container dogs…update
Here is the latest news from ACTIN about the situation for the container dogs. Permission now given to publicise this. Please continue to support ACTIN‘s legal team, a successful outcome for this case can be a precedent for use in the whole of Spain!
‘The owners have kept their dogs in the container for 5 years, we are trying to find out about previous dogs. Actin was only informed of this 2 months ago. Previous denuncias and complaints in the past, since 2010, have had no effect. Right now there are 4 dogs and 1 puppy inside; we can report some positive changes. The dogs have food and water, this has improved. The owners have coated the inside of the container with a material to regulate temperature, heat inside is the same as outside; we are not satisfied with this, BUT it is 20 degrees less than it would have been.

Portuguese podengos looking for forever homes
Here is a lovely story from Dineka in Portugal, about a lucky Portuguese podengo family.
‘On the 7th of May I saw two Podengos running on the road, both skinny to the bone, one male and one female. Stopped and gave them water and food, and the female obviously had puppies recently.
She was approachable, but the male was too scared, and ran off. It was already late afternoon, so I took the female to the vet, checked for a chip, and she belongs to a hunter nearby. But he didn’t bother reporting her as missing.
It turned out she had Microfilaria, anaemia and Tic-fever, and I left her ate the vet that night. Next morning I picked her up, put her on the leash where I found her, and she took me directly to a hollow tree, where she had hidden 5 puppies.
