Want a Dog?
Want a dogWanting a dog does not involve just choosing which one you like more for your physical qualities or “race”, wanting a dog also implies to realize that you will invite him to share your life, your house, your space and that he also has needs and Many times will not fulfill your expectations.
Wanting a dog is to be willing to love him in the good and bad, puppy, adult or grandfather, love him when he barks and have patience because something wants to tell you.
Love him when he bites the walls and the armchair, when he runs and doesn’t listen to you because he’s expressing his nature free and playful. Take him to the doctor because he’s sick or hurt.
Give him worthy food and not “what spare” but what you can really offer him. Understand that a dog has tastes and dislikes and that what you expected from him may not be compatible with who he actually is.

Podenca Alma – no longer useful for hunting or breeding
Introducing Alma…Rosemary Macdonald tells her story.Alma 6 year old female podenco. Alma is now safe in kennels being sponsored by Pam McLeod thank you Pam.
Alma has a sad story. I don’t know how these brave loving animals can be so forgiving of the human race. Alma was given by a hunter to another hunter to breed I would imagine, Anyway she was with pup but the puppies were found to be dead inside her so the hunter brought her to the vet to be put to sleep. Fortunately the vets refused and they agreed to sign her over to them.The vets could no longer keep her so we have got her sponsorship for kennels. This poor girl, no one wants her. Please help me to find her a home, not just any home. She needs a home where she will be loved, where she will have time to adjust and settle in, she will be nervous at first. Ideally a home in the caountrysideas she is not used to being in built up areas. Please everyone share this girl she needs your help.

More concerns for Spanish rescues homing hounds in the UK
This is taken from Bev Farmer’s fb page Podenco Friends.
‘Changes to the entry of rescue dogs to the UK basically if the UK exit the EU with a deal or no deal the Euro tunnel will no longer be a designated Border Inspection Point for Dogs, Cats or Ferrets.. Some months ago the ferry companies stopped accepting transports with rescue dogs on and the only point of entry was the Tunnel. If this is correct the only means of transport will be by plane to the UK very few airlines fly dogs to the UK and the last one we flew over cost 600 pounds plus the cost of the crate paid by the adopter so will be beyond the affordability of most people .. I can not confirm if this is accurate information but
I am aware many agencies have been lobbying to stop the import of foreign rescues due to animals arriving sick and with incorrect paper work. If anyone has any information regarding these changes please let us kno. This is a statement copied from a post by the group below
