  • Tilly – the life-changing podenca – don’t forget the oldies

    Bev Tilly back in 2003 when rescued 400
    I first met podencos when I travelled to Spain in 2007 with a French rescue association L’Europe des Levriers, and that’s when I got involved in publicising what fabulous hounds they are and the terrible maltreatment they suffer at the hands of the Spanish hunters, both on mainland Spain and the Canary and Balearic Islands. Here Bev Farmer writes about the podenca which changed her life.

    ‘This photo is of Tilly back in 2003 when we first adopted her from a local rescue here in Spain, what was a podenco? I had no clue but I leaned very quickly and to say she tested me is an understatement. I considered myself an experienced dog owner, having dogs my whole life and Dobermans for over 20 years but everything I knew about dogs I threw in the bin and started from scratch with her.

  • Podenco puppies in rescue – 2 lovely puppies

    Four Paws puppy 400 1 7 2019
    These two beautiful baby boys were brought to podenco sos by the police. They are both needing homes. Please don’t let them grow up in the kennels. If you could offer a loving home please get in touch. They are about 4 months old and won’t be very big when fully grown Difficult to photo they wouldn’t keep still and one was loving having his tummy tickled.

    (Although it says podenco sos in the note I copied from facebook, SOS Podenco Rescue says they do not have the puppies.)

  • 2 Podenco puppies in Valencia perrera…

    Karen black podenco pup 400 7 2019
    Spanish hunters hold life cheap…they care not how many puppies are bred, just to be thrown aside. these 2 puppies are in perreras – luckily not all perreras are quick to kill stations – some will hold dogs for a while. Keep your fingers crossed for these 2 babies.

    Micha, black podenco, male, 9 months, 14 kilos, is still sitting in the killing of Valencia. How can it be that no one is reporting for this cute mouse? Shall he die at 9 months? We are looking for Micha a foster home from 24.08.2019-gladly also foster with option on adoption or adoption. He is social with all the dogs. We haven’t been able to check it out with cats yet He’s not afraid. Please send me a personal message. Club: Avpdogs.

  • Every podenco should have a forever sofa

    Bev podencos need a sofa 400
    Bev Farmer says ‘Rescuing a dog is so special and it saves their lives.

    No dog really deserves to be mistreated or abandoned on the streets..If people could find it in their hearts to adopt it will change that dog’s life forever. Not only will they save that dog, they will be saving another for rescue. Shelters, even perreras have limited space so when one is adopted it can open a space for another one to be rescued.
