  • The Motril Posse in Murcia – Last Hope Dog Rescue in action

    Last Hope Dog Rescue, Murcia, now has some beautiful podencos needing forever homes. Irene Allan tells the story.

    ‘Last year we rescued four puppies from Motril that were feral in the campo. The mother of these puppies has been difficult to catch and has been running with another podenco resulting in more puppies unfortunately. We have now collected the puppies as they were in danger and have delivered a dog trap to catch the mum. If we are successful, we will bring her to the finca to sterilise her and provide a sanctuary, so she may gain trust with us and eventually get Bonita her forever home. These are a couple of videos Steve made of the continuation of the Motril Posse .

    ‘You have probably heard about the Animal Aid Foundation (AAF) in Valencia, which for personal circumstances has to close its doors after rescuing animals from all over Spain for 20 years. I am one of the volunteers helping to rehome the dogs. There are some Podencos left, would you be able to help with finding homes for them? Thanking in advance.

    We are also looking for people who are driving back to the UK happy to take a dog or two, for adoption families we find in the UK, so if you hear of anyone…

  • All Podencos should enjoy life

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends, Murcia

    This video is to say thank you to everyone for believing in us and allowing us to realise our dream. A year of a thousand tears and a million smiles. Times when we were overwhelmed and it all felt too much…. then those magic moments when anything seemed possible. So many of you have reached out and helped in so many ways without you we could not have achieved so much for this forgotten breed of Spain.

    Together we saved so many … together we gave them a future. We will never ever be to able to express how grateful we are to each and every one who supported us
