  • Podenca Rene – rescued and needing foster to recover from op

    Foster home needed urgently for injured podenca.

    ‘We introduce you to René, who had the bad fortune to cross the road, being run over. The luck she had is that the person of the vehicle, he immediately contacted us and the police, and was attending her until the police quickly took her from there to the vet. Since Sunday, she has been debating between life and death, but luckily, it seems to improve.

    She has a fractured hip, so she must keep absolute rest. She also had the Perforated Bladder, but the operation has been carried out and improves every day.

    She needs a quiet place where she can recover, a small room where she can’t move in large spaces and rest until she heals.

    Therefore, we ask you maximum dissemination to find her a welcome. We can’t take her to the police officers, in no way and we have no shelter.’

  • Portuguese Podengo Jacinta – deserves a loving forever home

    Jacintha 400
    From Dogs of Portugal, such a sad story.

    ‘Jacinta was found on the street, she came to us as a young dog. She was quickly adopted (together with Yuki) and… returned after 3 years. The owners are moving to another country and they say they will live in a small apartment. So they are not taking their dogs with them.

    But we realise we should not expect them to care for their dogs. They have neglected them from day 1. When the dogs were returned to us we asked for the books of vaccinations and they said they lost them. “But the dogs were vaccinated!”. We insisted on giving the address of the vet so we could confirm this fact. They indicated “their vet”. The vet is question said they they only saw the dogs once, a few months earlier, when the owners brought them to be euthanized because they were leaving the country. The vet refused to euthanize healthy dogs for that reason. They were never vaccinated there.’

  • From Lanzarote to Canada – Podenco Martino finally found his forever

    Bev Martino 400 1 9 2019
    Happy rehoming story from Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    ‘Martino . 3 years ago this photo just grabbed at my heart a Podenco that was in the perrera on Lanzarote .. This was the 2nd time he found himself in the pound the first time a hunter took him and them when no longer wanted handed him back . Laura Johnson got him out and to safety and when he was ready he flew over to the finca.

    Then Valerie Petterson fell in love with him and he made the flight to Canada . He was 8 years old when he was dumped in the perrera .. 8 years being a loyal servant to his masters. He was the most loving and gentle of souls yet that counted for nothing. All that is the past and he has the most amazing life in Canada. He waited many years but finally found his true family and is very much loved.’

  • Podenca Eire – saved from hanging!

    Salvemos Podencos basket 400
    From Salvemos Podencos

    This is our princess Eire. Eire is a podenquita about 1 year old and 6-7 pounds of weight. She was alone for a while roaming the campo, we were asked to help to rescue this little girl. Wee suspect she may have been hung because she has a huge wound that cuts her all the neck. Of course we took care of her. She has suffered a lot despite how little she is, she looks so helpless that she gave us her soul and is a love.

    We urgently need foster homes in Barcelona and adoptions. There are many podencos we have in our office. And several podencos that we have without sponsors 60 e /month in the kennels for each dog, plus expenses of vets, transport….., we ask you not to be indifferent to our request and for little that you can help us save lives. Eire has no sponsors so she needs some until she finds a foster home or adoption.
    She deserves a chance!

  • Update on Podenca Carley with Podenco Friends

    Bev Carley vet 400 4 10 2019
    From Bev Farmer. ‘Pandora and Carley went in to the vet for their reviews, Pandora for blood tests see how her leishmania is, Carley for a ultrasound and xrays. We were really happy to hear that the lymph gland had not increased in size, no other tumours and her lungs are clear. So for now her chemo treatment seems to be working.

    Bruno remarked how well and healthy she looked and we see her at the Finca with lots more energy. We continue with her chemo, she has not had any adverse side effects which is a relief .. and regular ultrasounds and xrays. If no tumours develo, we can look to stop her chemo in a few months.’

    You may remember that Carley was rescured with a tiny galgo pup PJ. Sadly PJ became seriously ill and died but Carley goes from strength to strength.
