Spanish police officer fined for shooting a dog
This story absolutely sums up the attitude of men – police officers, council officers, hunters….in any European country. I have to say I’d be willing to pay that money to any bastard who abuses an animal – I’d soon be broke!

Please be assured that there are ‘NO’ bad images in this film and all the dogs featured are ‘safe’ and waiting to be adopted. I think you’ll agree that the soundtrack is both beautiful and appropriate and the end message fitting.

Podencos make marvellous agility dogs – a good reason to adopt one!
Podencos are totally different characters from galgos – who like nothing better than to curl up on a comfy sofa and sleep! Podencos are working dogs and therefore can make marvellous agility dogs. Here are some videos of podencos in agility, and also a Pharoah Hound, a similar breed.
These videos have to be one of the best reasons to adopt one of these deserving dogs. You can find dozens of them waiting for forever homes and maybe an agility competitor in the weblinks in Podenco Pals. Or check out the list of podenco rescue associations listed.

Podenca Estrella, survivor of the Jaen killing station
I've fostered quite a few podencos, mostly the rough-haired type, from mainland Spain. One of the most beautiful stories is that of Estrella. In December 2009 I posted a picture on Galgo News of 3 galgas and a podenca in a cell in the killing station in Jaen. Rescue of the 3 galgas was arranged but somehow the podenca was overlooked. I received an appeal from across the ocean in Canada – the podenca is still in Jaen, can you get her out?
So the wheels were speedily set in motion and the podenca was rescued and taken to a refuge. An association with whom I work closely, L'Europe des Levriers, then agreed to help get the podenca from Jaen to Madrid, from where I could collect her, along with other galgos we were bringing out to France for rehoming. So there we were, at the beginning of February 2010, meeting up with Estrella – as the podenca had been named – to bring her home to foster.
