  • Galgos Rescu Almeria – update on abused Podenca Tracy

    GRA abused podenco vet 1 400 2 4 2023
    Last week’s news from Galgos Rescue Almeria about the abused podenca now safely in their care.

    ‘We had an appointment with Tracy at the traumatologist, originally just to take X-rays, but given the severity of the fracture, it was necessary to do the surgery immediately. She then went to our fosterers until her next check up.

    Video

    Second visit to the vet with Tracy. Her wound had to be checked and cleaned, also her bandage was renewed. Everything looked very well. Yet no running/ playing for this young lady.

    The vet fees are enormous, please donate to help heal Tracy. Details on this weblink.

  • Podenca Dana with Galgos 112 – recuperating from her operation

    Galgos 112 Dana 1 400 3 2023
    Galgos 112 also sometimes get a podenco needing help. Introducing Dana.

    ‘Dana has already been operated at @canisgirona, doctor Font tells us that everything has gone well and she will finally be able to walk without pain. Recall Dana was thrown like a bum for this knee injury. It was hard to find a home (it’s possible…) but thanks to a generous family from Girona (thanks) she has a foster home where she will be cared for and spoiled until her final family arrives.

    We have to ask for help, without your contributions it is impossible to afford these operations that are not cheap. If you can help we would appreciate it.’

  • Podenca Picolino with a badly injured hind leg – safe with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert

    From Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert

    Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.

    Picolino’s bad leg

    Shy and really sweet. This is little Picolino, a little still baby who has arrived at our center. She has an injury on his paw somewhat complicated and it is that he doesn’t have a fracture as such, but the femur completely dislocated and therefore the entire knee joint damaged.

    Her injury is really complicated and our vets have thought the worst and that she even needs to be amputated, but the truth is that she looks like she has a chance with a special surgery and a fully customized plaque. And even though we’re not on a budget yet, a custom plaque adds a lot to the bill…..

    Our goal is to keep saving lives, but the hunters don’t keep galgos and more galgos coming in, and cases of traumatology constantly…

  • Podenca kicked and abused and bleeding – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

    GRA abused podenco 400 17 3 2023
    From Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Last Wednesday evening, a Podenco was brought to the vet in extremely worrying condition. At first it was thought she was the victim of a collision. After further examination, her injuries appear to have been caused rather by severe abuse, kicked and beaten before she was hit.

    Her condition was critical, she lost a lot of blood, not only at the fracture of her hind leg. Her body also showed numerous minor and major injuries. In A&E, blood came out of her nose and mouth, it was anxious to see how it was going to evolve.

    Although she hasn’t microchip, (what a surprise!) the important thing is that she’s safe and will get the necessary care and treatment to recover. We have given this beautiful girl the name Tracy.

    Thursday morning we went to visit her, her condition has now stabilised. Eating is also going much better and she is trying to take some steps. According to the vet, she is ready to come to our shelter where she can recover from her nasty adventure.

    This week she will go to the traumatologist for X-rays of the fracture. When she is sufficiently strengthened, the surgery on her hind leg can be done.

    Please help with these vet fees, and you can support our dogs for 1€ a month by joining our teaming group.

  • Podenco Lucas waiting for his forever with Ourense Protectora

    Ourense Grandpa Lucas 400 14 3 2023
    The Podencos, the great FORGOTTEN

    Grandpa LUCAS’s feet hurt so much. He’s an angel who’s slowly turning OFF….

    Grandpa Lucas at 10-years-old is one of the oldest angels of the protege and of the most needy. They say he has green EYES that just looking at you captivate you, the volunteer tells me that when they go out for a walk only once a week when they return she has to hold him in their arms like a baby because he doesn’t want to go in the CAGE.

    Contact: Progape Ourense (Galicia)… progapeourense@hotmail.com Tel: 988 21 29 39

    Lucas was one of the family and then when the owner moved to an apartment, Lucas was not in his plans, as happens too often.

    Grandpa Lucas spent a long time without eating, ALWAYS waited for his “Family”… But this one NEVER came back for him…… Time passes and Lucas understood that his owner would never come back for him.

  • The Faithful Hound – Podenco Photography project

    How can you help?

    Do you have a podenco? Would you like to share their story?

    We want to show your dogs off to the world and show everyone that podencos make wonderful pets. Together, we can raise awareness so that more of these amazing dogs can be adopted out to their forever homes.

    ​We are looking for people who live in Scotland and who have adopted a podenco from Spain.

    The aim of the project is to raise money for podenco rescues and raise awareness for this wonderful breed in Scotland.

    In 2023, we will be working on a special book project called ‘Podencos in Scotland’. For this book we are organising multiple photoshoots throughout the year, so we are looking for several podenco models with a story to tell.

    Could your pod be one of them?

    Jacky Gazelger of Tanamera Rescue in Valencia is working with the rescuer and has organised a foster home for the little podenca where she will receive the food and care she desperately needs.

  • Storm Damage at Galgos Rescue Almeria – help needed to fund repairs

    Storm damage 1 400 1 2023
    From Sandy Galgoslover.

    A couple of nights ago we suffered a storm and strong winds which unfortunately caused a lot of damage to our Rescue center. A large part of the fence has been torn loose and our storage space has been completely destroyed.

    In addition to our usual daily tasks, we now have days of cleaning up debris. A solution will also have to be found for the storage space.
