  • Another cruelty case on Tenerife

    Santa 250 9 11 2014This poor soul is a Podenca Canario which was dumped in a Tenerife perrera by her hunter owner, after a lifetime of producing babies – and starvation. She could barely stand, had a huge abcess on her face and a fever. She is being cared for by the vets of Albergue Comarcal Valle Colino. Once the fever had subsided, the abcess was removed but an inoperatble tumour was discovered on her face.

    These are the updates from Ailsa Mcgibney from 9th November. An offer of a comfortable loving home has been made, where Santa, as she has been named, can live out her days.

  • Tierra Blanca refuge, Tenerife – kennels urgently needed for winter

    Tierra Blanca kennels dogs 1 250 10 2014Centro de Protección Animal Tierra Blanca on Tenerife has 260 rescued podencos all desperately needing forever homes. With Winter coming these Kennels would provide shelter for so many of them. The cost for the metal about 130.00 Euros, labour voluntary, good idea and indestructable.

    If you can help towards providing more of these kennels 260 podencos – that’s not counting all the other dogs! – please paypal to this address.

    And if you can offer a forever home to a podenco, even better. The dogs are microchipped and vaccinated, no adoption fee – all they ask is the cost of the flight out of Tenerife.

  • Podenco Friends, Alicante – who cut the hole in the fence?!!

    Bev Bella Nestor him 24 hours away 250Regular readers will know of the incredible work done by Bev Farmer and Warren Beards of Podenco Friends, in Alicante. I have the pleasure of visiting them in September 2013, sharing their lives with the rescued podencos and seeing the devotion and incredible work they do for these maltreated yet fantastic hounds.

    They live in a finca inland in the middle of the campo with very few neighbours – those there are live in the distance! They have a good relationship with the local galgueros, many of whom cannot believe the cruelty others inflict on these fabulous hounds. So it is with a heavy heart that I read the following report by Bev – luckily this time with a happy ending.

  • Grace and Dolly – Podencas in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Sherlie Bradley Grace 250 10 2014I had the pleasure of visiting Sherlie Bradley and all her gorgeous foster dogs in Tallante, Murcia, Spain- what a happy bunch. At the moment she has two lovely podencos desperately wanting their forever homes. Here’s their details.

    Meet Grace, she was found by my Spanish neighbour while he was out hunting and I really thought he was going to keep her for hunting. Instead he put her on a chain but she kept getting tangled round a tree and table. I went round 4 times to untangle her, (he doesn’t live there). Finally I told him something needed to be done as she was tangling in the tree etc and he said did I want her, didn’t need asking twice…
