  • Podenco Santana – Podenco Friends need your help for him

    Bev Farmer and warren Beards are always there for the podencos, no matter how many they have (one bitch recently rescued in the nick of time just gave birth) nor how desperate the situation. Read the story of Santana and please donate towards his vet feets.

    ‘Santana has been with us a few days and we have been waiting for a lot of lab results to come in and an assessment by a orthopedic specialist. Another Podenco Ibicenco discovered in a lamentable condition his body so depleted he struggled to walk. Left as he was, he would not have survived.

    He has a fracture to the right hip, the specialist has recommended not to operate, there is already a reaction to the bone so it’s not a recent injury. Surgery could make it worse plus he is at very high risk to have anesthesia due to his poor body condition. For now, restricted exercise, pain meds and it may heal ok on its own. If not, in the future they will need to remove the head of the femur.

  • Little podenca Leila – waiting for her forever home

    Protectora Animals Morrazo Leila 400 11 2018
    This adorable little rough haired Podenca is with Protectora de Animals Morrazo and she is waiting and waiting for a forever home. Here’s what they say about her.

    ‘Leila has spent a lot of time in the protectora and after two failed adoptions we couldn’t give her back to her kennels so a volunteer took her to cure an allergy and see what the problem there was with a podenca that only weighs 6 kilos. We have to say that Leila is pure joy and tenderness but the months pass and what promised to be a short stay is extended, which harms this beauty.

    Our fosterer has 6 dogs apart from those who need homes. Leila needs a definitive home where she finally sits in her place. Will you be her angel and offer that to her? Please help us to keep helping.

  • Podenca puppy on the streets of Jerez, Seville.

    Judith Tenorio podenco 400 11 2018
    It’s a very hard life on the streets for a podenca puppy. I received an appeal for help for this little one on the streets in a village in Jerez, Cadiz. Stoned by local children, on heat, the 2 volunteers trying to catch her couldn’t take her into their homes as they have male dogs! Luckily through appealing widely on facebook, I’ve had the news that she is rescued and safe.

  • Podenco racing in the Canary Islands?

    Fuerteventura pod racing 400 1 2012
    Message on my Podenco Post facebook page.

    ‘Anyone know this subject?

    In The Canary Islands, the podengo, in addition to hunting, seems to be used in races, at least in Fuerteventura. The Information I find is 2012 / 13… does anyone know if these races are still in force today?

    Watching the tremendous and abundant abuse of this race on the Islands sickens us – and knowing, also, all the abuse that accompanies the races of galgos on the mainland – it’s not crazy to think that after these races there is a lot of misery and suffering of these dogs in the ” Lucky Islands’.

    (all photographs of this post correspond to Fuerteventura).’

  • Association – Join the CREL Federation to help galgos and podencos

    CREL Paris Expo 1 400 9 2012
    Jerome Guillot is a friend from some years ago when we travelled as members of the L’Europe des Levriers team into Spain to bring back galgos and podencos to France for homing.

    Jerome is the founder of the association CREL and was also one of the original organisers of the Strasboug march to publicise the plight of the galgos and podencos. Here’s the latest news from him.

    ‘I am jérôme guillot, founder of the CREL association for the protection of galgos and podencos in July 2009 and sponsored by MICHÈLE STRIFFLER MEP 2009-2014. At our last general assembly, all members voted for the CREL to become a federation .

    It is now done, an avocate specializing in foundations has drafted the statutes of the Federation. The aim is to bring together all the European Greyhound/Galgo Protection Associations, initially, to put pressure on MEPs and governments. The Union will make strength, we must unite to fight against the abuse inflicted on greyhound and podencos in Spain, Ireland and elsewhere.

    We invite associations to become members of the federation…Already 23 associations have joined – 17 French, 5 Spanish and 1 SLOVENIAN

    Find out, visit the website, join the Crel Federation. We are at your disposal.
