  • Duathlon, 19th March 2016, Clumber Park, Nottingham – Sponsor Team Pepis

    Anca podenca blind 250 8 2015Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera, Seville, has an outstanding vet bill so far of nearly 4,000 euros! That includes sterilization of dogs (the first thing to be done with the arrival of each new dog, to prevent unwanted puppies), vaccinations, dogs needing operations, medication…the list is endless.

    It’s desperate that this bill is cleared and to that end Ellen Stevens and 2 friends have entered the team event in the Duathlon at Clumber Park, Nottingham, on 19th March 2016. If you look on the Youcaring link below, you can read all about it.

    Please sponsor Team Pepis and share widely with family and friends. Let’s raise the total and more if possible. Help Jane and Alan Brian help dogs like blind podenca Anca, in this photo.

  • A Plea, a Please, to Keep a Meaningful Thing – Hound Sanctuary USA

    From April Lamb. Dear Rescue Partners and Rescue Advocates,

    Hound Sanctuary (USA) recently purchased, moved to, and retrofitted a much larger, more dog-friendly facility in order to have more room and more joy for more podencos, galgos, and others while we prepare them for and select their perfect forever homes. The sanctuary comprises a 5000 square foot building on about 2 acres of land that includes two very large yards, a medium sized yard, and a small yard, all with 6 foot tall, secured fencing.

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – saving the podencos in Sevillia

    FBM Bashira 1 250 1 2016Here are stories from Levriers sans Frontieres about 2 podencos, now safe with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville, and who will eventually come to France for forever homes.

    Here’s the story of the first one, Bashira. After she was found at the roadside, throughout the journey to the shelter, she has not moved, not cried. she is so courageous and yet what she must suffer! She was rushed to the vet for urgent operation. Upon her arrival she was supported by Lillian, the veterinarian at the FBM, who took xrays. The legs are fractured, put in splints whilst waiting for an operation by the orthopedist. Under anaesthetic, her injuries have been disinfected and she was given antibiotic. This tiny podenca is barely a year old, what a terrible start to its life.

    The title could also be: cruelty goes on and on and on…From Cadiz Scooby took this Podenco. He had just been found with the rope still round his neck. It is a miracle how he did survive with this deep wound at all but he did. He has been treated by the vet, and he is already living in Fermin´s pack with a big bandage around his
    neck. He’s been named Noel.

    He has been promised a home where he will find love and protection forever. Could it be with you??
