  • Why your dog should be sterilized – prevent Pyometra

    Good afternoon from the Scooby family.

    We want to present you a serious illness that requires urgent surgery and can be avoided by sterilization.

    Pyometra or uterus infection whose symptoms are fever, loss of appetite and in many cases increase in water consumption and if not treated urgently can cause death in a very short time.

    There are two types, open and close. The open is easier to observe as the female begins to stain down the vulva. While closed is more dangerous because often when the family realizes the animal is sick it may be too late.

    That’s why and many other reasons we always advise you to sterilize your best friend!’

  • Podencos – Lanzarote’s Noble Hounds

    A lovely article written by a SARA rescue association volunteer and photographer.

    The Canary Island podencos suffer horrendous treatment, sometimes dozens hidden away in the mountains out of sight and then abandoned when no longer of use for hunting. Their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe which is a costly and complicated procedure.

  • Podenca Airi hoping for a forever home

    GRA Airi 10 2023 400
    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    ‘Hello everyone my name is Airi and I am 2 years 9 months. As for most of my peers (hunting dogs), life in Spain is hard to bear. Working from morning to evening in service of our master, we often suffer from hunger, no or dirty water, a poor place to sleep, etc…..and when you are no longer useful you are dumped.

    This happened to me too and I ended up on the street. I felt in a water tank but was able to escape my predicament on my own.

    ADOPT A PODENCO – ADOPT KOKE

    There is a life hidden in your pupils
    The one who peeks out when I look and doesn’t look at me…
    Take care, even against the wind
    I don’t see how beautiful it is to have you
    At best I die…
    But even though it hurts, even though it looks like it ends
    I always love you, I would never leave you.. ” Valeria Castro

    How long will you have to wait dear Koke to find a home. Everything in your life has been abandonment, loneliness, fear and pain. We don’t know how much you’ll have to wait, but if we can promise you that you’ll have a home, because you know dear podenquito, I’m going to tell you one thing “We will never abandon you”.

  • Podenco Mr Red – dumped as trash, he deserves a loving forever home

    From Sharon Bays

    Please say a huge hello to Mr handsome RED – a completely adorable GOOFBALL despite it all!

    Red is a podenco, estimate 2 years old.

    Mr Red 400 10 2023
    Red has had an awful life. He was dumped on wasteland and left to fend for himself. He was spotted and rescuers tried to help him for 5 weeks!

    Red was so afraid he just went into hiding, he was spotted around the same area many times. His body condition was very poor. He had to be caught or he would die.

    Operation Red was put into place. Sedatives were added to food, Red was then watched from afar. He took the food, while he was asleep he was scooped up and was finally safe.

  • Should be a fundraiser for podencos

    Nice t-shirt. But sad that a company is selling these for their own profit, not for fundraising for podencos.
