  • Stunning Podenco Ibicenco with Podenco Friends – for adoption

    Bev Sonny 250 12 2013And another new addition at Podenco Friends – a gentle giant.

    ‘We had another arrival. Sonny travelled from Cadiz, a big beautiful Ibizan Hound just over a year old. He was found abandoned a few months ag,o sadly the foster family could no longer keep him so Karen Dunn of Tika stepped in and prepared him for adoption.

    Sonny has an eye condition known as uveitis resulting from a trauma to the eye and started treatment for it some time ago. At the moment he still having treatment and it is possible the eyesight in that eye will be compromised. We will continue with weekly veterinary checks and our vets are in consultation with the clinic that treated him before.

    Taking that all aside Sonny only been with us for 24 hours and has the most wonderful temperament, very easy going and a big hit with the girlies here. For adoption please email us at podencofriends@hotmail.co.uk

  • Urgent appeal for podencos in Tenerife

    Tenerife Tierra Blanca 250 13 12 2013Regular readers will know I always mention the refuges in the Canary Islands and the podencos there whose main hope of a forever home is on mainland Europe. Now there is terrible news from of the shelters.

    There has been torrential rain in Tenerife and the refuge Tierra Blanca has suffered badly with flooding. If anyone would like to help a podenco to have a shelter from the elements, below is more information and an translation from María Isabel Padilla Peraza vet and manager of Tierra blanca.

    We currently have over 130 Podencos in our patio area , an open area that has been devastated by rain. Right now we are constructing the area , but besides building costs we need funds to buy shelters.

  • Valencia podencos – together forever

    Bev esme Nacha on arrival 250When I visited Bev, I met two of the 50+ podencos rescued from a hellhole in Valencia. Their necks bore the marks made by the chains and collars. After rehabilitation with Bev and Warren, they have now both found their forever family. a wonderful happy story!

    Bev writes. As we prepare Nacha for her big trip to America to Sallie Lisa and her team at Grateful Greyhounds Inc. there is another twist to this story. One I had secretly hoped for and this week it has become a reality. We got confirmation that Nacha will be reunited with Esme and these two Podencos will never be separated again. Martha Feltenstein, who has already adopted Esme, was at the airport on the 5th December to welcome Nacha and take her home. This fantastic ending to such a sad story has only come about from the co-operation and team work of so many people.

  • Spanish hunters – no respect for property or life

    Hunters 250 1 27 11 2013THE HUNTERS. Taken by Jane and Alan Brian, Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville.

    ‘We took this picture to show how close and dangerous these men are. The picture shows how close he was to our house, and he fired his shotgun next to the dog pens. The other hunter at the top of the hill, behind our house, we saw him shoot his gun towards the house, at a rabbit running, most hunters locally, respect that this is our home, but out of town hunters, just do what they want, and that’s to kill……’

    Pity the podencos with him, what will he do with them when hunting ends…
