  • 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

  • Only a few days left to help these podenco puppies

    From Stef Spode

    My organisation North West action for Animals have been asked by local independent rescue EDDAC to help raise the vital finding needed to help these Podenco puppies get to the UK from a high Kill pound in Spain by 16th January. They have effectively been dumped on the rescue and not wanting to turn their back on these pups, together we need to raise a whopping £1100! Please please help if you can. We only have a few days left. The puppies also need foster and forever homes.

  • Castellana, Seville – left to die on the street…UPDATE

    Update on Anita, the little podenco injured on the road and left to die. She’s now been operated on, is in foster care and doing very well. There is a video here, if you are able to view it (it’s on facebook), showing her hopping about on 3 legs, happily fostered with some galgos and another podenco. Asociacion Lasanimals

  • Update on Rescued Injured podenco

    Charl pod 250 24 12 2014Dioni is hoping to travel 26th December to collect Frankfurther Hoggity Doggity. Here’s the story of another podenco, safe for Xmas, who will be travelling with him from 112carlotagalgos to Last Hope Dog Rescue for preparation for rehoming. Charl tells the story.

    ‘So while we were away Sebastian was called regarding a rescue. This podenco had been followed by Francisco to his door while he took his dogs out he came back and the young pod sat still on his door step. Waiting.. praying he’d come to the right place. He was taken in by the couple but while we were in Belgium they kept him. So here he is! A sweet young pod. Approx 1 year old.

  • GOOD NEWS!

    Frankfurter Hoggity Doggity Fernando has an association to take him – Last Hope Dog Rescue. Irene and Steve Allan are very experienced podenco adoptants, fosterers etc in the association. So I’m now sorting out transport to take him from Kate’s to them. Will keep you posted. BUT – we’ll need to raise the money to pay the transport costs, when I know them.

    So, rest easy, Kate, help is on its way. Bless everyone for caring about both Kate and the podenco.

  • Castellana, Seville – left to die on the street…

    Injured podenca lasaasso 250 12 2014Left to die on the streets of Seville.

    Anita, mini podenca, 4,5k, lying in a corner without being able to move after being knocked down… Snuggled up to die without aid, 5 days in the sight of all people, and nobody came to help her’.. In cantillana.

    Dreadful example of cruelty and cold indifference… This is the case that reaches us and despite the enormous debts that we have with the vet we cannot leave here…. Anita is in the care of the vet and she needs your help!

    The perrita had disappeared from the place where she was knocked down, curled up to die away from the road.

  • Injured podenco near Cadiz – update

    Kate pod boy bed 250Update on frankfurther hoggity doggity! 11/12/2014

    ‘He’s really young – only seven months, poor baby.

    On Wednesday, Pepino said he’d be fine without an operation.

    However, yesterday, he was less bouncy and didn’t want to go for such a long walk, so I’m afraid that his leg may be hurting, perhaps because the vet didn’t have any of those stiff bandages (she’s so useless) and when I went to buy one, the shops were closed for a long weekend for the Annunciación.

    I still hope he won’t need an operation.

    However, I’d really like to get him to Morón to be seen by the special podenco vet.
