  • Podenco pup rescued from the roadside and safe with Podenco Friends

    Bev pup 400 29 1 2020
    Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends tells the story of this lucky podenco pup.

    ‘This wee pup came to the finca yesterday (28/1/2020). Found alone by the roadside he made the best decision of his life. He didn’t run off when Ines stopped her van and she scooped him up and took him the vets in the village close to us. They called and asked if I can help so here he is. He is about 8 months old very skinny and at the moment overwhelmed with everything. We need to give him a name so any suggestions what we should call him.

    Email Bev if you have a name suggestion.

  • Podenco Friends – saving the hounds in the terrible storms

    Bev galga puppies 400 12 2019
    From Bev Farmer. I had the pleasure of meeting her friend Janette when I visited Bev a few years ago. This is what happened during one of the worst storms to hit Andalucia. Sadly storms are still forecast to hit the region.

    ‘Just before the big storms hit us in Spain Janette Lopez was contacted by a local perrera 7 galgos and a Podenco had been handed in by a Galguero and could she help .. Her rescue is mainly local adoptions of family type dogs and she doesn’t get much interest in sighthounds. So she asked me if I could team up with her and help with them .. No problem Janette ….

    Then a couple of days later I was asked if we could help with a galga who had just given birth in a disused finca surround by rubbish. 3 pups had already died and it was a matter of urgency to get them to safety .. I had no space here to take them so Janette took them. At the time it seemed all manageable, 15 dogs. Then disaster struck and one of the worst Gota Frias recorded in the region hit .. Janette’s rescue was badly flooded and a lot of damage. On top of that she took in 27 dogs displaced because of the storms plus a couple of goats and to date only a couple of people have come forward to claim them.

  • El Amigo Fiel Cordoba – another association helping podencos and galgos

    Just learnt about this association in Cordoba. It is encouraging to me that, since I started my involvement with the galgos and podencos back in 2007, so many new shelters and associations have been formed, so many more people caring for these wonderful but abused hounds.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – a podenco with a special problem

    I was recently asked to help a small shelter in Almeria who rescue mainly galgos and podencos. They struggle to raise funds to pay for the many vet fees as most of the dogs arrive with health problems. At the moment there is a galga just arrived and diagnosed witn Leishmania and Ehrlichia.

    Here’s a story     about a podenco with a special health probem.

  • Protectora Scooby – saving the needy hounds

    Scooby elderly podenco 10 2019
    ‘Elderly dogs, with tumors, with Leishmania or extremely thin… When we rescue animals we do it because they need help and because we’re worried about the fate that might await them without it.

    We don’t choose them for their color, size or age, nor do we care if they’re healthy or sick … We don’t select which dogs to help, we don’t think about whether they’re more or less beautiful or sociable, we don’t even consider if they will be easily adopted or if no one will want to give them a home and they’ll have to spend the rest of their lives with us in the shelter. None of that matters …

    In Scooby we are animal lovers and our main goal is to help the ones most in need as they also deserve the best life possible.

  • Podenco dumped in garbage truck!

    ‘Terrible! They find a podenco about to be crushed by the garbage truck in Alcanar (Tarragona). Some heartless bastard got rid of him by throwing it into a container.

    Fortunately there are also many good people willing to help him and welcome him. Thank you aGOSaGATs for saving his life!
