  • TAIL Torrox, Andalucia and Goldra Dog Sanctuary, Portugal – please support their dogs

    Two more rescue refuges/associations which help podencos, many needing forever homes.

    Tail Torrox is in Andalucia where Carole has uprooted from her London life to go and live and help the dogs – over 60 at the last count.

    And The Goldra Dog Santuary is in Portugal, with over 100 dogs. There aren’t many shelters in Portugal, dogs have a terrible time abandoned on the streets. If you can sponsor one of their podencos, please help them. And publicise their work, organise a fundraiser, go and stay for a week volunteering.

  • TAIL Torrox, Andalucia – introducing Charley, waiting for a special home

    TAIL Charley 1 250Unlike the keyboard bully to whom I refer in an earlier post, I don’t profess to know all there is to know about podencos. Yes, I’ve been involved in their rescue, foster, rehoming for several years but in order to complete my definitive guide to the plight of the Podenco – From Pyramid to Perrera – I enlisted the help and experience of several other people involved in helping these wonderful hounds. There are new associations to add to the ever growing list on Podenco Post and only this week I have been introduced to one.

    I’d like to introduce you to Charley, a podenco with TAIL Torrox, a refuge in Andalucia. Carly Cole tells his story.

  • Toledo podenco needs your help please…

    Elena Alonso appeal 250 4 7 2014Elena 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?

    Little Pod Little Bod 250 6 2014This 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

    SOS Podencos Ella 250 (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!
