  • Podenco Canario Lisa – happy in a forever home

    TARA Lisa 250It’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…

    Janice pod pix 250 6 2014These 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.

  • Portuguese Podengo – rescued and needing forever homes

    Portugal Zara 3 250(Photo right of Zara – a Portuguese Podengo puppy) It’s a nightmare for podencos, dozens on death row in the perreras. Dozens more saved and needing forever homes. What is overlooked is that there are podengos in Portugal – yes, Portuguese Podengos (not a typing error!). They too suffer cruelty. Here are five which have been rescued and need forever homes. Jackie writes about them.

    ‘I wanted to ask if you could help us at all with a situation of a very good friend of mine who lives here in the north of Portugal and who recently rescued 5 podengos. Just to show you who they are:

    Front cover 170From Pyramid to Perrera – The Story of the Podenco. Get a taster here.

    Thanks to Beverley Farmer of Podenco Friends for the beautiful portrait of Jazz adorning the front cover.

    Available now only as an ebook, click on this link.

    Unfortunately all print copies in English and French are sold out. Because of the nature of some of the pictures, I was unable to get sponsorship to pay for the printing, so I paid for it myself. As all sale proceeds are donated to appeals for help with vet fees etc to podenco rescues, the capital was not replaced and I therefore cannot afford to pay for another print run.

    If anyone can obtain sponsorship for me for this important book on the Podenco, please email me.
