  • Hunters – uncontrolled breeding of dogs…

    Podencos puppies, kept in poor conditions, the uncontrolled breeding which should be STOPPED! This is what the authorities should pursue, this is unacceptable animal welfare!

  • A Podenco’s lot.

    Hanging a podenco 400 1 2017The neglect of podencos
    Writer: Jesus Villanueva Jimenez.

    ” Canelo is a podenco, although he is not aware of his advanced age. It’s really not that old, if you had been adopted by a family animal lover; your age would not be an impediment. On the contrary, you would received more love and attention.

    However, Canelo is owned by a hunter. The greater part of his life, along with other dogs of the same race, has been subject to being chained from the neck barely able to move on a square meter of rough, hard and cold cement. Between the walls of gray blocks, under a roof of asbestos, under the same conditions, lying on their excrement and urine, all with chains around their necks, toiling along with Canelo are a dozen more hounds. Sentenced to life imprisonment-never better.

  • 1st May – Day of the Podenco

    Bev Jasira 400 1 5 2017Apologies, readers, that I didn’t get to publish this on 1st May, due to being tied up with other things not involving computers! Here’s what Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends wrote for Day of the Podenco.

    ‘I wrote these words on the 2nd January 2014 on the day we rescued Jasira, today I reflect back and still the battle continues. Maybe one day those with the power to affect change here in Spain will recognise the Podencos for the national treasure they are, for us we continue to be their voice.

    I see so many Podencos in so many terrible situations. I see them by the roadside badly injured, having been hit by a car and left to die. I see them wandering the countryside, emaciated and very often with broken limbs. I see them with their spirits all but destroyed from having been incarcerated in a perrera. After this amount of exposure to such horrific sights, it’s hard not to begin to accept this as the norm here in Spain.

  • Scooby Protectora – appealing for medicines

    Scooby Max 400 4 2017This is Podenco Max, he was born in 2004. He was rescued last weekend (22/23 April 2017) in Mazarron, Murcia, by the Scooby team, along with a couple of dozen more podencos and galgos, including puppies. He deserves somewhere to spend his twilight years – he’s lucky to have survived to this age in the hands of a galguero! If you have a comfy bed for him, contact Scooby.

    With hundreds of animals in the refuges, Scooby is also running this appeal.

    ‘Some important things to treat our animals are starting to scarce… Like Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Tablets, Meloxicam Injection, Doxycycline Tablets and Syrup, Metronidazole Tablets and Syrup (Flagyl) and very urgently is needed IMMITICIDE. We also need shavers, field cloths, 6 + 1/2 sterile gloves, blue pathways (small) , oxygenated water and internal deworming … If you have some of these items and you would like to donate them to us, we will be deeply grateful.
