  • 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…

  • Accommodation on Tenerife urgently needed

    Tenerife Refugio la esperanza marisa 250As regular readers know, I remind people about the podencos on the Canary Islands who have a terrible life with the hunters and whose main chance of a forever home is on mainland Europe. Here’s a heartbreaking story about a shelter on Tenerife. Please help if you can.

    Marisa Traen’s refuge (Refugio de la Esperanza del Sur) with her many Podencos has to move!

    The new piece of land has been found, but is not ready yet to receive the many animals!! And now the council of Adeje announced a few days ago, that the property where they still are, has to be cleared before the 8th December!! (supposedly for promoting the place with hotels) and that the 89 dogs will be put to sleep if they are still there on that date!
