4 of the Bullas Babes, podencos rescued in the Orhuela, Bullas, project, have now arrived in the UK. Terri and Star, Molly and Ella have all been adopted and are now with their forever families. We wish them well in their new life, flying the flag for the podencos and alerting people to the cruelty perpetrated against these fabulous hounds. Thanks to Little Pod Foundation in Murcia and SOS Animals UK. Well done to all.

Save this podenco in SPA Carcassone, France – saved!
Urgent appeals received from a French contact.
‘I am looking for help for a Podenco who is currently in the SPA in Carcassonne. They are a breed very close to my heart since we rescued one from Spain two years ago, who had been very badly beaten, and we have managed to bring back her joy to live and we adore her – she will never leave us till her life is done!
I have too many rescue dogs here at home (12) to be able to help Snoop, the Podenco in Carcassonne SPA, but I’m desperate for him to find a foster home because he’s ill and needs help to recover.

Gerena, Seville – abandoned podenco desperately needs help
This podenco is on the outskirts of Gerena, Seville. It’s about 12 kg and very young, is wounded in its neck by the wide collar on it, which has a bell!. It’s huddling under these large sones out of the heat. Scared, it hides in the hush when approached. There is a girl putting food out to try and gain its trust – she’s called the dog Campanillo. An extra problem, if he can’t be caught soon, is that he will grow and the collar will cut into the flesh of its neck.
Is there anyone, especially an association, in the area who could help catch this podenco? Contact: natisabe@hotmail.com

6 March 2012
by Irene CrespoYes, the authorities only granted 24 hours to rescue all the dogs in Bullas (Murcia) and out of the hell where they are. Removing the remaining 70 dogs in that situation in 24 hours … Mission Impossible?
Well this is not the first bureaucratic difficulty with which foundationn Pro-Setter (The association that is coordinatating the rescue of these animals) and volunteers from other organizations that work with them are encountering.
