Toledo podenco needs your help please…
Elena Alonso does tremendous work helping rescue abandoned podencos…she doesn’t often ask for financial help but she needs it this time. Here’s what she says.
‘She is Alba, a podenca found in Toledo, scared of people and starving. She is been rescued because she was in a bad situation in a hunters area. She is a year and her whole life she is been abandoned and mistreated.
Thank goodness I’ve found an excellent foster, Eva, who is going to help her recover.
This is the first time I ask for economic support for a case on my own but I have to pay 240 euros for vet expenses. -
Who would do this to a podenco?
This is a story from Marie Stacey of Little Pod Association which came in on 20 June when I went on holiday. It has a sad beginning but it gets much better as the little podenco is making a good recovery.
‘This little boy is one of Faith and Merlin’s pups from December 2012 and was originally called Hugo. On Friday 20th June 2013 he was out on his morning walk with his mum and furbie brother when a car deliberately crossed over the road, mounted the pavement and ran him over. If there weren’t witnesses to this awful incident, I would never believe it. Unfortunately they were so shocked and concerned for Bod they did not get the van registration so not much hope of finding the driver. He is such a sweet, gentle little fellow who was loving his new life with his family. He has undergone surgery and is now doing well.

Pepis Dog Refuge – ways to help care for 80 dogs!
There are now about 80 dogs at Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera, Seville. Many of them have been there for months, often since being puppies and dumped at the gates. They are all adorable. Have a look at the wonderful new website on which some of the dogs are listed – you’ll see many are podenco or podenco x. It takes time to add them all, as you can imagine! 80 dogs also cost a lot to feed, so if you can’t offer a dog a forever home, please consider sponsoring one. You’ll find details under ‘Ways to Help‘.

SOS Podenco Rescue – if you can’t adopt, please sponsor a podenco
(Ella, living with her housecat) If you can’t adopt a podenco, please consider sponsoring one of these gorgeous podencos whilst they await their forever homes. Ulrika Schofield tells the story of SOS Podencorescue who would welcome your sponsorship of any of their podencos.
Sos Podencorescue was founded in September 2013 and ever since the day María Casares and I got together we have worked tirelessly to save, heal, rehabilitate and re-home as many Pods as our finances and the space at the residency would allow.
Luckily, we have a wonderful band of friends, followers and supporters who all went the extra mile to help us with donations, sponsorships, taking part in auctions and, above all, shared our Pods for all they were worth – we are forever grateful to you all!

Podenco Canario Lisa – happy in a forever home
It’s always great to have a happy homing story. Here’s one about a lucky Podenca Canario rescued and rehomed by TARA association.
‘LISA joined the TARA family 11 months ago when she was found on a goat farm that was soon christened “hell” Some caring tourists had stumbled across this place, and could not believe the conditions the animals were kept in.
Everyday they took food and water to the dogs, and knew they wanted to help some escape these conditions. They contacted TARA and asked for help, and we stepped in to ensure that at least some of the dogs could be saved.

Spanish Stray Dogs, 112carlotagalgos, SOS Podenco Rescue…
These four lovely podencos are lucky, they were saved and are now all living comfortable lives with Janice Ball in the UK. Here’s who they are.
‘My four Pods together, just so everyone can see how different they all are, they come in all sizes!! Suzi (white) and little Paco (front right) come from Spanish Stray Dogs UK. Paco is a Podenco Maneto and is quite small with his little legs. Casey and Scarlet are Andalaz Podencos. There are some much bigger as well, so you see there is a Podenco for everyone. So many are discarded every year in Spain and they make such wonderful pets, please do think about adopting one, so many are waiting.’
Hundreds of podencos are being killed every week in the perreras. That’s because there are hundreds in foster and kennels and refuges waiting to be adopted, so there is no space for the perrera pods. Here’s a comprehensive list of rehoming associations.
