Podenco Solo – a VERY happy ending
Readers of my blog may remember my appeal in July 2013 for a forever home for Solo, here’s the story.
I met the little chap when I visited Bev and Warren in September 2013 – and now there is great news. He has now set off on the final stage of his trip to a forever family of his own. The bestest Xmas present ever for him! Sad for Warren and Bev to see him go after so long, thank you for being there and taking him. Bonne Chance Solo, enjoy the rest of your life.

Pope France – a message to Spanish galgueros and gitanos
This is for all the Spanish galgueros and gitanos – Spain is a Catholic country – this is what your Pope says about animals! It doesn’t give you licence to abuse them so they get there quicker!

Desperate help needed for a podenco
A friend of mine has just rescued a podenco in terrible condition…two boys helped her catch him. She is in an area with a lot of hunters and gitanos. She suffers from ill health and has not the means to pay for the vet treatment he needs. So we desperately need an association to take him on. She is in southern Spain. Here’s what she says about him.
1/12/2014 – ‘Walking through the square I saw a very, very thin podenco with one front leg held up and dangling, searching under and around the bins. I asked two little boys to watch him, rushed into the shop which luckily is on the square, grabbed a packet of frankfurters for 2€ and rushed out again. After he’d eaten several, he hopped off, but we followed him and one of the little boys (Gitanos – lots here and not crueller to animals than anyone else) managed to go up to him and gently stroke his head and hold him, while I tied my scarf round his neck.

Jaen, Spain – House of Horror
These podencos were discovered in a finca – chained to the wall so they could barely even lie down – in filth, starving…a denuncia has been made and authorities contacted to help them. A couple were rescued but then the volunteers were accused of trespassing! A petition has been raised to demand the authorities take action against the owner and save the dogs. Please sign and share it.
