You probably remember podenca Katy, who had cataracts in both eyes. Silvia’s vet has operated but sadly the eye inside was malformed and the specialist could do nothing. Katy is happy and doing well, you can see a video on the website. Well done to Galgo Connection Spain and everyone involved in helping this beautiful podenca.

Help Blind Podenca Katy recover her sight – an appeal from Valencia
This is podenca Katy; she is blind; she is lucky to be in the safe and caring hands of Silvia of Galgos Connection Spain, and her marvellous vet. This is what Silvia says about Katy.
‘This is Katy, she is a special girl with a huge problem in the eyes, she needs an operation because her eyes are turned, the iris is inside; if she has this operation, there is every possibility that she will recover her sight. As always, please help towards her vet fees, we have many dogs in the pension needing our help. If someone can help please do it, Katy deserves to see the nice part of life.

Malaga podenca needs forever home – adopt a podenco
Last week I introduced you to a young podenca bitch rescued from starvation on the streets of Malaga. This was her story.
The picture you see now is of Canela today, what a difference love, care, regular food can make – in just one week. And isn’t she absolutely stunning. Here’s what Charl says about her now.
‘Canela is a podenca of a fawn type interesting colour and white, slightly rough coated. She has a tiny little face and huge ears! Rescued 2 weeks ago, she came with very very dry skin but now this is much better. She is negative in Filaria, Erlichia, Leishmania. Vaccinated, and will be sterilised, approx.4 years.

Podenca rescued from the streets of Malaga – can you help her?
Galgos and podencos continue to roam the streets of Spain, hunting is about to start, and the whole vicious lifecycle for the galgos and podencos begins again. Here is the story of the capture of a little podenca on the streets of Malaga this week. Charl del Rio of 112carlotagalgos tells the story.
‘Twas the night before last and as the sun went down, it was the beginning of a new time for Canela, a pure podenca with ears so piercingly stunning and orange eyes,.. who would look at you but fear you.

Podenco Penelope, rescued by El Albergue – now recovering
A couple of weeks ago I told you about a little black podenco puppy, injured and starving at a railway station; people just walked by – until a volunteer came to her rescue. Here’s the latest news and pix about her.
‘we have news from Penélope: although we rescued her in a terrible state, she has come a long way and doesn´t even seem like the same dog that we took from the railway just a couple of weeks ago. Now that she´s had her surgery and her pain is controlled, Penelope behaves like a true puppy: playful, active and loving with the people who are caring for her. Her favorite thing: food, and in large quantities 🙂
She has to go to the vet next week to get her stitches removed and we hope that she continues to evolve in a positive way.By the way, Penelope is a true semi-long hair podenco. Black podencos are not very common, but she is definitely a podenco.

Podenca Sandy – vet fees of 1,400 euros – can you help Galgos del Sol?
Last month I told you the lovely tale about a podenca bitch and a puppy she adopted. Both were rescued by Galgos del Sol and have been waiting and hoping for forever homes. We’ve just received news about Sandy, the bitch; she’s had an accident and vet fees for are are 1,400 euros! Galgos del Sol are a small association and shelter, so are appealing for help to pay this.
Here’s what Tina says.
‘Poor Sandy, and still we don’t really understand what happened.
Sandy had been found with Floyd, at first we thought Floyd was her baby but it’s possible she adopted him. Floyd was always quite rough around Sandy, in and out of her legs, constantly demanding her attention. He adored her, as she adored him.
So could this be how Sandy mysteriously smashed her leg into several pieces? Could it have been rough play gone too far? There is no other explanation. The kennel is 110% safe with nothing to climb on to make her fall, she was fine at her last check just a few hours before finding her holding her leg so really the only theory we can give you is that somehow involving Floyd something went terribly wrong.
Holding her leg in pain she was immediately rushed to the vet. On X-ray it was more than evident her leg was broken but a complicated break, like a jigsaw. A complicated break means a complicated operation and an expensive one at that. Sandy’s vets bill is over 1400 euros to date.We are pleading for donations to help us pay this bill. No matter how small, we are struggling, we really need help. PP tinasolera@hotmail.co.uk please ref SANDY.
Thank you.

Costa Animal Society, Nerja – volunteer help needed for animals and committee
This beauty with special eyes is Strella – she is one of 6 hunting dogs which the owner didn’t want, so he left them all tied up, starved of food and water. The owner wants rid of them asap so foster homes are urgently required.
CAS is appealing on their behalf. CAS is the Costa Animal Society based in Nerja
on Spain’s eastern Costa del Sol. It was founded in 1986 as a registered charity for
the sole purpose of helping abandoned and maltreated animals. -
Sightseeing, Seville – not for this podenca
The first podenca I fostered had been taken to the Jaen perrera by her hunter because she had a hernia the size of a tennis ball. She was rescued and operated on and rehomed in France. Her hernia was nothing like the size of this one.
As you can see, the little podenca is petrified. She was kept in a hut, but luckily rescued and is now with a vet for urgent operation. She will have to go into a residencia afterwards unless a fostger/convalescence home comes forward. And her operation will need paying for. Please contact Immaculate if you wish to help, ask for copies of the vet bills etc. Use a Spanish translator package like Google or Spanish dict.

Proyeto Adopta – helping podencos in Southern Spain
Here’s news of another group of volunteers in an association, working to save the abandoned dogs of Spain, and especially the podencos. Here’s what they say.
‘Protecto Adopta was born from the passion of a very small group of people who want to offer decent lives to these animals History has confirmed they are the best “non-human” friends that we may have, but however, so many times we see them just in kennels, callejeando or even lying in a ditch. Our intention is to educate the people, as well as trying to get homes to all those dogs who have already suffered the cruelty of the human being.’
