TAIL Torrox, Andalucia and Goldra Dog Sanctuary, Portugal – please support their dogs
Two more rescue refuges/associations which help podencos, many needing forever homes.
Tail Torrox is in Andalucia where Carole has uprooted from her London life to go and live and help the dogs – over 60 at the last count.
And The Goldra Dog Santuary is in Portugal, with over 100 dogs. There aren’t many shelters in Portugal, dogs have a terrible time abandoned on the streets. If you can sponsor one of their podencos, please help them. And publicise their work, organise a fundraiser, go and stay for a week volunteering.

TAIL Torrox, Andalucia – introducing Charley, waiting for a special home
Unlike the keyboard bully to whom I refer in an earlier post, I don’t profess to know all there is to know about podencos. Yes, I’ve been involved in their rescue, foster, rehoming for several years but in order to complete my definitive guide to the plight of the Podenco – From Pyramid to Perrera – I enlisted the help and experience of several other people involved in helping these wonderful hounds. There are new associations to add to the ever growing list on Podenco Post and only this week I have been introduced to one.
I’d like to introduce you to Charley, a podenco with TAIL Torrox, a refuge in Andalucia. Carly Cole tells his story.

Keyboard bullies – ban them!
During my working life, I wore 2 hats. One was with BBC Radio, the other was in the legal profession. But both overlapped in so far as I was trained to carry out full research on a subject, check the wording of whatever I wrote and include references where possible to substantiate my claims. This work has stood me in good stead, especially publicising some dishonest working practices by a firm of solicitors which I, with the help of the BBC, exposed on television. There was nothing the solicitors could do about it because the report was full of fact and backed up, and also passed by the BBC legal department.
