  • More podencos suffering in Seville….

    Macu Maya 250 1 17 7Another sad case taken in by Macu, in Seville. Here’s what Macu says – Hello everyone, this is Maya, a podenquita of 12 years old, who has lived her entire life locked up in a shack of a Hunter, only eating muck and being taken out a couple of days a week to hunt. And being used again and again to breed more puppies.

    She has a big hernia which someone has tried to sew but it is open again and needs to go to a vet for operation. I can’t photo it because she keeps her tail between her lets and runs away.

  • SARA Lanzarote – saving animals in the Canary Islands

    SARA Rodrigo 190I mention many times how hard it is for the podencos in the Canary Islands to find forever homes. The SARA Lanzarote newsletter popped into my mailbox today and I couldn’t believe that Rodrigo, this beautiful podenco, is still in the SARA shelter – 5 years on! He’s a failed hunter, good to walk on a lead, good with children and adults and other dogs. Surely there must be someone somewhere who has a place in their heart for him?

    They have donzens of deserving podencos there, amongst all the other dogs, please contact them direct if you can help Rodrigo or any of the others.

    Ana sofa 250 5 2012It’s a busy time at the moment at 112carlotagalgos in Malaga. Two of their rescued and rehabilitated galgos Bruno and Halo have now headed off to Belgium and forever homes, Polyana and Gandalf are settling into their new homes in the UK, and podenca Angela Angelica heads off to the USA tomorrow (28th May) and her forever family. But 3-legged beauty Ana is still waiting – surely there is a place in someone’s heart for this stunning podenca.

    The latest two new arrivals are podenco Apolo and galga Marci and you can read their stories on this link. If you can donate towards their vet fees, Paypal comdelrio@hotmail.com

  • Saved from the streets of Seville – Podenca Andaluz needs help

    Macu podenca May 1 250 2012This lovely young Podenca Andaluz, less than a year old, was rescued from the streets of Seville by Macu, with a rope around her neck, and a scalibor collar on, which she had obviously had to wear since a small puppy because it was infected with bugs etc. Naturally she is very fearful of humans, and is in a kennels, where the staff sadly don’t have time to rehabilitate her.

    She currently has a liver problem from her condition and therefore needs a special diet, plus needing vaccinations etc.

    Macu is desperate to find a foster home for her and also desperately needs funds to pay for the kennels, food, medication, preparing her EU vaccination. macu19782010@hotmail.com Paypal donations to macu19782010@hotmail.com

  • Seville – accommodation needed long term, forever home for Podenco Ibicenco puppy

    POKI-1 190I write you on behalf of my good friend Nati, because I’m trying to help Poki. Thank you very much!!!

    “Poki is so small! Just 2 months, he is a Ibizan Hound and will be a big boy as an adult. I have him on a residence (kennels) because I have no foster for him. Please can anyone help with foster or adoption or sponsorship!!! He has already been quite hungry and cold and deserves a home now. He has been very lucky to be rescued, where he could get sick, he was sad and hungry… is now a residence (kennels), but it’s no place for a puppy”. Please can someone take him out of the kennels and prepare him for a forever home. He’s just a baby. I can provide all the information for the vet and his residence.

  • Dumped on a Spanish street, podenco puppy now winning prizes

    Jazzy pup 1 250 Bev 4 3012This gorgeous little podenco puppy was thrown from a car onto the street. Luckily uninjured, she was rescued and is now in the safe hands of Bev Farmer, who is earning a well-deserved reputation for training podencos to prepare them for finding forever homes. Here’s the story of Jazzy so far.

    ‘Another post on Facebook, another Podenco dumped, this time thrown out of a car without any consideration what would happen to this puppy. At 7am Michelle heard a car racing off and a dog screaming. Her first thought was that a dog had been seriously hurt. She rushed out of her house to see a puppy on the street shaking in fear and covered in oil. Her front claws were ripped, a classic sign of having been dragged along by a car.

    Macu podenca 1 250 4 2012This is another plea for help from Macu in Seville, who rescues podencos from a gypsy settlement – Chaplin, Tecla, and several others featured on Podenco Post.

    ‘Please, I need your help. I rescued this dog from Seville´s gigpsy settlement. I had to do it because she was in the street but a man said that it was his but didn´t give her any care. I´ve rescued her today but my residence is closed the whole week and I work the whole day. Because of this I´ve found a boy who works taking care of dogs in his house and takes them to the vet and everything. He has taken the dog to the vet and you can read the analiysis below.
