  • Ann’s Canine Care – helping the hounds of Spain

    Ann Marie Payne Pearl 400 5 2020
    Here’s a story from Ann Marie Payne of Ann’s Canine Care, about a very traumatised podenca she has had for 8 months already and whose journey to trusting humans will be a long one. Little Pearl is in the best of hands for the journey.

    ‘Earlier today while I was at the desk little Pearl came out of her crate, sneaked behind me and went across the lounge, then she came back into the crate again, she did this a few times, and each time she did it I couldn’t turn my head to see what she was doing, knowing she’d go into panic mode if we made eye contact. After a little while she hadn’t come back to her crate. I was hoping that she’d found the sofa, but sadly no!

    I couldn’t see her but, knew she was at the side of the armchair where nobody could see her. I left her there for about an hour and gave her some hot dogs, which she wolfed down when I wasn’t looking. Then I decided to take her out. When we came back inside she headed straight for her crate. Trying to get my head round this behaviour I thought back to this morning. Galga Amy had walked into Pearl’s crate, sniffed her food and walked straight out, and I think that this possibly unnerved her and, she didn’t feel safe there any more.

  • Galgo’s Rescue Almeria – saving podencos and galgos

    GAR podenco 1 400 28 4 2020
    28/4/2020 – Today GRA received a call from Pam who had found a podenco and asked for our help.

    The dog (female) followed her on her daily walk with her own dogs and was in her garden. Pam gave her food and water, she was calm and seems not really scared. We gave her the name Zita.

    This young girl is really skinny and she is covered in ticks. In no time we managed to catch Zita and put her in the car. First she was very quiet in the cage but once we were driving she panicked and we had to stop. The rest of the way to the kennels we did on foot. Once we were at the kennels she relaxed, so we decided to make an appointment at the vet tomorrow morning.

    Update will follow.

  • Animal charities desperate for help

    This is an appeal from Spanish Stray Dogs charity, but their situation during this time will be the same for all animal charities, especially as, with people not being able to work, there could be more dogs abandoned than ever. Please support your favourite dog charities.

    ‘We have suffered a huge set back financially as many other charities and families around the world have. Due to the pandemic, our two charities shops in Spain have been forced to shut. This has had a huge impact on the charities finances and is a very very big cause for concern for us for the future of the work we do.

    We need your financial support more than ever now’. As the lock down in Spain carries on and on with no real end in sight we face very serious consequences if we cannot find the money we need to provide food, labour and vet care to over 300 dogs a month!

  • Please help Podenca Amber and her babies

    Angie M Amber 400 3 3 2020
    From Angie McReady, who has been rescuing and rehoming podencos for many years.

    ‘As I suspected Amber is low level leish. She’s clear for everything else.

    We can’t start treatment until shes finished feeding her puppies. Having said that, I have now noticed she has a split teat. The puppies are now 5 weeks old and eating themselves so I think it#s time for her to stop feeding them so she can heal
    I know some people may say it’s too early, and had she not got the split teat she would carry on for another couple of weeks or so.

    Again treatment is going to cost money. I’m really struggling as I’m not getting the same support as I did before I took a break from rescue after the distemper outbreak. It’z such a shame as I’m now very hesitant to take in anymore rescues as I can’t do this without your help. And I really really do hate asking x’

  • Protectora Scooby Palencia – sweet podenca now safe

    Scooby Palencia podenca 400 1 2 2020
    The abandonment of hunting dogs is never ending. Thank goodness for the rescue and rehoming associations. And one of the largest is Scooby. This sweet young podenca is now safe with Protectora Scooby Palencia.

    ‘This beautiful podenquita had to take a bath just after arriving at the shelter. We do not know where she has been living but gave off an unbearable smell of manure. Although in the pics it is not appreciated, she’s quite thin and has problems of skin and mouth. The poor girl is quite scared but we trust that little by little she will gain confidence and so that a new and happy life can begin soon.
