    Portugal podenca Didi 1 400 6 2016This gorgeous young Podenga Portuguese is Didi and desperately needs a forever family. Jackie Dias tells her story.

    This is DIDI, she is up for adoption and it is needed urgently. She was found abandoned in Monte Abraão-Queluz, close to Sintra in Portugal. After being taken to the vet there was no sign of any identification on her: chip, collar etc.

    She weighs around 9 kgs, is around 1 year old and SUPER SWEET! She is healthy but was found with some sores on the pads of her paws meaning she must have walked a long way!

    **** I’m Zeus.****
    It’s a long time since I left.
    The truth is that I was never happy, always treated me badly.
    I lived in a place surrounded and with a small roof to get out of the cold and the rain.
    I’m just out to hunt, until one day they stopped doing it.
    I don’t run long enough for that person to whom I belonged.
    A few days later they took me in the middle of the field with another dog like me and they cut us loose.
    I didn’t know what to do, whether to run, or wait until my master gave me an order.
    I was disoriented.
    I’ve never lived through a similar situation.

  • Podenco Penelope moving on to her forever life.

    Bev Penelope 250 23 6 2016A photo that captured many people hearts.

    bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.’This week (23/6/2016) Penelope will be joining her new family, a forever sofa a home where she will be loved and cherished.

    I will never forget the day we collected her she was so thin and so scared her fragility and vulnerability was palpable. A moment where you wish you could tell her its all going to be ok and she would understand your words. More shocking once examined by our vets and after taking xrays. She had a badly dislocated hip and a fracture to her ankle but they were old injuries. I cannot imagine the level of pain she suffered and she was surviving on the side of a busy road. Further complications she tested positive for leishmania if left there her chances of survival were not good. In time Penelope became part of the family and her cheeky character began to shine through. Like so many Podencos their ability to over come such adversity always amazes me and she was no different.

  • Jaen, Spain – abandoned under a road bridge

    Podenco Mastin Jaen 170 116 6 2016The abandoned dog problem is Spain is horrendous. Here’s the story of two in Jaen, luckily rescued; a podenco and a mastin, the latter which had a chain embedded in its neck. They are both traumatized and the rescue group are looking for foster homes for them.

    ’12 June: Look what we’ve rescued this afternoon Antonio Murciano and me under the bridge Jontoya (Jaen). Saved a mastin and a podenco, have called them Romeo and Juliet. They need a foster home which has a lot of experience with dogs traumatized and will receive all the attention they deserve.I don’t want medals or much less, there are many other cases too but I just want people to know the reality that we live day to day here in jaén. They have been taken to the vet, sadly the podenco will probably have a leg amputated, the mastin has a chain buried in the skin. They will need a long recovery and specialist care.
