Podenca Fliss – starving and lost in the UK
From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends
Some updates remind us why rescue matters… The Podenca I shared a few days ago from the pound in the UK is finally safe. After seeing my post on Thursday, Pam McLeod from Podencos in Need – PINS immediately contacted the pound in Bradford. Today, they signed her over into Pam’s care.of Fliss when she was rescue.It was a long journey to freedom. Pam’s wonderful team member, Sandie, and her husband drove to collect her before meeting Pam and her husband in Carlisle, who then took her home to Scotland. She has been given a beautiful new name… Felicity, or Fliss for short.Sadly, Fliss is one of the most severe cases of long-term neglect and abuse. From her microchip records, we know she is at least eight years old, and on Monday, when the veterinary college reopens, we hope to learn more about her history. -
Salva un Podenco Gran Canaria – podenco rescue on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
“Save a Podenco in Gran Canaria” is an animal shelter run by volunteers. Since 2017, we have been dedicated to the rescue, protection, and raising awareness about Podencos. Because they are used for hunting, Podencos are excluded from current animal protection laws, which makes it very difficult to help them.
We rescue them, find them foster homes, and prepare them to be happy; to have a family that lasts them a lifetime. (more…)

Podenca Princessa hoping for a forever home in her twilight years
Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.
This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…) -

Can dogs have a chicken allergy?
Chicken is usually recommended, along with rice, as a good for dogs especially recovering after illness. When I visited a shelter in Spain some years ago, raw chicken carcases were delivered from a chicken processing factory as food for the rescue dogs. I regularly feed minced cooked chicken to my dogs without a problem.
However, dogs can have allergies to certain foods just like humans. so can they have a chicken allergy?

Hope for Podencos – Podenco Deejay hoping for a forever home
From Hope For Podencos
Deejay is every bit as striking as he is sweet. A graceful Podenco Ibicenco with movie star looks, he trots around like a show pony and has completely stolen the hearts of everyone who’s met him. Rescued after being found stray, Deejay has shown us what a lovely, balanced young lad he is. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he knows you, his affectionate nature shines through and he’ll make a wonderfully loyal companion. He’s fantastic with other dogs and absolutely loves to play. (more…)
