I first became aware of the plight of the podencos in Spain and the Canary Islands back in 2007 when I began my trips to Spain with L’Europe des Levriers to bring galgos and podencos back to France for rehoming. I also took in my first foster podenca at that time, Jazmin. And that’s when my love of podencos began.

Mogan, Gran Canaria, Mairena, Sevilla – podenco puppies in perreras!
And more podenco puppies. Janis and Luke are in the municipal perrera in Mogan, Gran Canaria. As regular readers will know, the main hope for adoption for podencos on the Islands is in mainland Europe. At the moment the contact for these two babies is the perrera.

Naturally there would be fees to pay, including flights from the Island.

Little Pod Association – why we do it – Join the auction
I receive dozens of photos each week of galgos and podencos needing help; the ones which really break my heart are the puppies and injured dogs. This photo was the first one I receive of a puppy in a perrera, due to be killed. I appealed to Tina at Galgos del Sol, the little pup was saved from Jerez perrera in January 2011, and called Angela after her foster mom. Sadly little Angela fell sick of parvo disease and died the following month. But her legacy lives on in Little Pod Foundation and Angela tells the story of their work and why they do what they do.
