    Salvemospodencos1 400
    Bayer, Leena and Zizou – INVISIBLE TO ALL
    ONE YEAR IN KENNELS WITHOUT ANYONE ASKING ABOUT THEM !!!

    Bayer, a 10-year-old senior, 15 kg. who still has a lot of gear and loves to play with his mates.
    NO ADOPTION FEE.

    Leena, a 3-year-old Podenca, 13 kg. she is calm and independent she gets along well with other dogs.

    ZIZOU a 4-year-old cutie and weighs 11,400 kg. It is very noble and calm, he gets along with males and females.

    All have belonged to a hunter, treated as mere hunting instruments for their purposes, they only knew their screams and bad manners, lived terrified. They were abandoned to their luck as if they were garbage and we rescued them from the kennel of Lucena and Cordoba to give them a new life that we have not yet gotten.

  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – always there for the podencos and galgos

    GRA Make 2024 better for us 400
    From Sandy Galgoslover

    2023, a year of ups & downs, joy & sadness, but also a year in which new collaborations were established.
    Never before have so many abandoned, neglected and abused souls found their way to our Rescue center. Unfortunately, never before have so many animals been abandoned and dumped either….

    If there is any improvement in people’s awareness animals are living beings and not products, we still notice little or nothing of it.

    On the contrary, it seems to be getting worse….

  • Podenca Tilly – Bev Farmer tells her story of the dog which changed her life

    Bev Tilly 400 12 2023
    Bev Farmer, the Podenco that changed her life.

    ‘Tilly came into my life in 2003, I will never know who was the kind person that lifted her out the dumpster .. their kind act changed hers mine and many other podencos destiny: If I was to tell her story it would begin something like this:

    “Whispers of Freedom: Tilly’s Tale”

    In a small village nestled in the hills, where the echoes of tradition and the simplicity of life intertwine, lives a spirited podenco.

    Chained to a wall in a dark, desolate building, Tillys eyes reflected both fear and hope. Her once sleek frame now a haunting silhouette, her ribs and hips visible beneath her thin coat. Her days were marked by the rhythmic clinking of her chain against the unforgiving walls.

    The day arrives, and Tilly’s world opens up as the door swings ajar, inviting in a flood of light. Excitement surges through her, for today holds the promise of freedom, of the wind in her face and the open field beckoning her to run.
