Tango – the perfect dog waiting for ever for his forever home
TANGO is an incredible dog waiting for a home. He has been waiting patiently for 6 months. Not only is he super handsome he has a fabulous personality. He is extra specially cuddly, intelligent and obedient.
He has done a 6 week basic training course and surprised us all at how well he did! Whoever adopts Tango will be very lucky indeed! He is around 5 years old and a Podenco/Galgo cross. He is in Lanzarote but transport can be arranged for the right home.
Fabulous video of the lovely TANGO at training classes. He is doing so well and we are SUPER proud of him! This gorgeous Podenco/Galgo cross is a great dog, attentive, obedient and always eager to please. He is a cuddle monster!

Journey to Scooby, Medina del Campo – a volunteer reports
Great read about volunteers at Scooby in March, especially to learn that all the podencos they rescued recently are either in foster or adoptant homes. Do think about taking a ‘holiday’ and volunteering at Scooby. Besides the hotel mentioned in the report, Scooby also offer caravan accommodation. And don’t forget, Scooby have hundreds of animals for adoption – dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, donkeys, poultry…

Podenco Moreno – a hard life at the hands of a galguero
The story of Moreno, from Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.
For many months we have been talking with the local hunters to show them there is an alternative for the Podencos they no longer want or need. Last week they handed Moreno into our care. He needs a complicated surgery to try and save his front leg. This is from a fracture that happened over a year ago and was left to heal with no treatment. If gives him a lot of pain at the moment, he is just about terrified of everything. We are working with him to try and build a level of trust in us.
