The Heartbreak for the Spanish Podencos
I always promote adopting a podenco – or any dog – from a recognised rescue association. But I’m posting this to show you how heartbreaking it is, opening my Inbox to appeals like this…every day appeals to help save podencos on death row in perreras; recently many of them have been small puppies. Such a sickening and unnecessary waste of beautiful lives, just because the
bastard galgueros keep breeding and breeding…There are 13 on death row in the perrera in Ciudad Real (where my first galga Karmel was saved from). Here is the appeal to save them.
These 13 podencos are on death row in Perrera de Valdepeñas, Ciudad Real (Central Spain). The need urgent help, as new dogs keep entering the pound every week and it’s full!
Some of them are old and some of them really young. All of them are scared to death and having a really tough time in there!

Breach of copyright
It has been drawn to my attention that an extract from my book From Pyramid to Perrera has been posted on SOS Podenco Rescue and The Pod People on facebook.
Kindly note this is in direct breach of copyright. No permission was sought for any extract from my book to be used in any form as clearly stated at the beginning of my book. No credit is given to my book, the source of the piece Characteristics of a Podenco is not stated. Whilst I do not have the funds to sue the perpetrator on both her fb pages, it should be noted that this is a gross contravention of copyright issues about which the perpetrator doesn’t give a damn!
Whilst my information in the article is accurate, the perpetrator on occasion posts misleading information about podencos and people should not believe all she writes by her own hand.

FBI considers animal abuse as a crime alongside murders
Should happen in every country. Animal abusers generally go on to abuse and murder humans. They practice on animals first.

Tango – the perfect dog waiting for ever for his forever home
TANGO is an incredible dog waiting for a home. He has been waiting patiently for 6 months. Not only is he super handsome he has a fabulous personality. He is extra specially cuddly, intelligent and obedient.
He has done a 6 week basic training course and surprised us all at how well he did! Whoever adopts Tango will be very lucky indeed! He is around 5 years old and a Podenco/Galgo cross. He is in Lanzarote but transport can be arranged for the right home.
Fabulous video of the lovely TANGO at training classes. He is doing so well and we are SUPER proud of him! This gorgeous Podenco/Galgo cross is a great dog, attentive, obedient and always eager to please. He is a cuddle monster!
