March – the month to remember Podencos – save the podencos!
Thank you to Catherine who translated this article for me.
March, the month to remember Podencos.
During the past month of February we were reminded of galgos, mainly because of the documentary film ‘Febrero. El Mierdo de los Galgos’. So I decided that March will be the month, I will devote to remembering their cousins the podencos and their crosses. Other dogs that suffer even more than galgos because they are also the forgotten ones. I did this last year with the post ‘They are not greyhounds, but podencos and are just as good companions’.

Galgos 112 – saving lives in Spain
I’ve Internet translated the two very sad stories of Monk and Orion, now safe in the care of Galgos 112. You can see more photos of them on Galgos 112 website. Donate to their expensive veterinary treatment here.
Monk
Is a small hound, picked up at the beginning of February in Marchena (Seville) in very poor condition and with a fracture in his rear leg.
Since he had lost a lot of blood and was malnourished and dehydrated, that same day he entered the Lepanto vet Hospital emergency room, but because of the delicate state of health it wasn’t possible operate it until he was stronger.

Cheap Accommodation on Gran Canaria now available
In February 2014, as a result of a complaint made to Seprona (Society for Protection of Nature in the Civil Guard), a ‘person of Spanish Nationality’ was charged with the crime of abuse and neglect of animals in the village of Vallebron, in the municipality of La Oliva. On his farm were six Podenco Canarios, two already dead, the others were starving. The place also did not meet adequate requirements for the protection of animals.
This is the harsh reality of life for the tens of thousands of podencos living on the Canary Islands. It’s what the tourists don’t see. Please share the story and tell them!

Podenco Andaluz in Mexico
The small Podenco Andaluz is bred and used for hunting in Mexico, where they are known as Podenco Arcabuceros. Here’s a short video of them hunting, mostly quail and rabbits. Also a link to the website of a Podenquero who breeds them, some of which he exports to Andalucia, Spain! As if there aren’t enough podencos there – overbred and abandoned!

Publicity for the Podencos
Alex Frederikson lives in Austria and has adopted a couple of podencos in the last 12 months. She is now writing articles about them, here’s a link to one. Well done, Alex, any publicity is positive. However I’ve been rescuing and fostering and publicising and writing about the podencos for several years, and have to admit I wonder why it has taken so long for people to take notice!!
