  • Saving the Lanzarote Podencos – TheKennelKlub and Podenco Friends

    Bev Lanzarote podencos 400 15 1 2017Ever since I became involved in the plight of the podencos and galgos back in 2007, as a member of a French rescue association fostering many we brought out of Spain, I have been publicising the terrible suffering of the Podencos in the Canary Islands. Their only hope of a forever life other than across the Rainbow Bridge is to be adopted on mainland Europe. In recent years new associations have formed in the USA and Canada and now many of these deserving and loving dogs are finding their forever sofas there. Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends is helping Laura Johnson of TheKennelKlub and the Lanzarote Podencos.

  • Gran Canaria to UK – saving Podenca Summer

    Gran Canaria Summer 400 19 12 2016This is a story which exposes the dangers of taking a dog from a perrera; why you should not give in to emotional blackmail and cries of ‘this dog will die’. It emphasises why you should always adopt a dog from a recognised established rescue association.

    At the beginning of the year a few people formed a group to help the podencos of Gran Canaria. It is almost impossible to rehome a podenco in the Canary Islands, their only chance of a forever home is on mainland Europe or the US. Whilst meaning well and having very caring hearts, time has shown that these generous hearted people have made mistakes. This story is just one.

    This podenca is Summer, who arrived in the UK on 14th November in a state and very unwell. Scabies was diagnosed by the vet, scrapings were then taken to verify this, and came back positive. Her fleas were treated and her adopter has been massaging her with coconut oil. Since starting her treatment her skin has really improved and all her sores have healed well.
