Thailand – Animal Welfare Act – why can’t Spain Act?!
Not podencos or other Spansh hunting dogs. We think Spain is barbaric in it’s t4eatment of them, that’s nothing compared with Thailand. BUT they passed their first Animal Welfare Act in November 2014. So why can’t Spain act?
Here is the weblink to read about it.
And please sign this petition against the illegal trade in dog meat. Warning – upsetting pix.

All Podencos should enjoy life
From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends, Murcia
This video is to say thank you to everyone for believing in us and allowing us to realise our dream. A year of a thousand tears and a million smiles. Times when we were overwhelmed and it all felt too much…. then those magic moments when anything seemed possible. So many of you have reached out and helped in so many ways without you we could not have achieved so much for this forgotten breed of Spain.
Together we saved so many … together we gave them a future. We will never ever be to able to express how grateful we are to each and every one who supported us
our family….. our friends…. our Podenco Friends

Only a few days left to help these podenco puppies
From Stef Spode
My organisation North West action for Animals have been asked by local independent rescue EDDAC to help raise the vital finding needed to help these Podenco puppies get to the UK from a high Kill pound in Spain by 16th January. They have effectively been dumped on the rescue and not wanting to turn their back on these pups, together we need to raise a whopping £1100! Please please help if you can. We only have a few days left. The puppies also need foster and forever homes.

Injured podenco near Cadiz – update
Update on frankfurther hoggity doggity! 11/12/2014
‘He’s really young – only seven months, poor baby.
On Wednesday, Pepino said he’d be fine without an operation.
However, yesterday, he was less bouncy and didn’t want to go for such a long walk, so I’m afraid that his leg may be hurting, perhaps because the vet didn’t have any of those stiff bandages (she’s so useless) and when I went to buy one, the shops were closed for a long weekend for the Annunciación.
I still hope he won’t need an operation.
However, I’d really like to get him to Morón to be seen by the special podenco vet.
