  • Puntanimals Shelter in Umbria,Huelva – Podenco Frijolito hoping for a forever home

    Puntanimals Shelter in Huelva has hundreds of dogs in their care, all hoping for forever homes. Not surprisingly the large majority are gorgeous galgos, but here’s a very sweet podenco hoping for a forever home. Contact puntanimals@hotmail.com if you can offer him that home.

    And here’s the story about Puntanimals.

    https://www.puntanimals.org/nuestra-historia/

    Puntanimals is a non-profit association created to help abandoned and mistreated animals. The idea was born from the hands of a fighter, animal lover who wanted his dream of helping those most in need to come true. We are located in the town of Punta Umbría (Huelva). Since before having the shelter, we already collected the animals that we found and we looked for a home where they were safe and had their needs covered. Officially we have been operating since 2011, it was when we decided to rent a place to be able to protect all the animals while we look for a definitive and responsible adoption for them.

  • Protectora Scooby – 100s of dogs needing feeding and forever homes

    This is a weblink to the hundreds of dogs in Protectora Scooby shelters in Medina del Campo, Valladolid, Zamorra and Palencia. There are a few podencos in there.

    The main purpose of this post is a) to illustrate just how many dogs are in the Scooby shelters hoping for forever homes and b) to appeal for help to fund them all. This isn’t counting all the horses, donkeys, cats, poultry, goats, cows…all rescued by Scooby and needing food and medication.

    Please help, even if it’s just to join Teaming please help.

  • Podencos on Lanzarote – the Noble Hounds

    With somany appeals from mainland Spanish rescues for foster/adoption of podencos, it’s easy to overlook how many podencos there are in the Canary Islands. They are used far more for hunting than galgos, and suffer just as much maltreatment. Weblink to an interesting article about Podencos on Lanzarote.

  • Galgo Rescue Almeria – Podenco Campaneros find their forever family

    GRA Patan podenco 2 400
    Just over a year ago on August 10, we remember a memorable period in the existence of GRA.

    A year ago, the doors of Patan were closed and sealed by Seprona due to severe animal neglect.

    For about 120 dogs but also other animals: cats, chickens, rabbits,… even a pig, the neglect came to an end. Several Rescue centers joined forces to receive the victims and guide them to a new life. 11 Galgos and 3 Podencos were housed at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria, all in bad shape and some even in very critical condition. The “life” they had must have been hell. Malnourished, no or dirty drinking water, poo everywhere, covered in ticks,…..

    Meanwhile, almost all of the sweethearts who ended up at GRA, after their rehabilitation and treatment against various tick diseases, found their golden basket.

  • Protectora Scooby – please help feed our animals

    Horses need hay 1 400
    HELP FOR OUR PLEASE

    Last year, climatologically speaking, was very bad for our sanctuary residents, and this year is coming just as or even worse…

    The forage is scarce and we are having to buy a lot of thought to elders to keep our animals well fed, assuming this a great economic discharge.

    We have sown alfalfa and we are hoarding and taking advantage of all that we can, but this is not enough for the 50 horses and donkeys and the 46 sheep and goats who live in our Sanctuary, so we ask help for them, so they can have the happy life that they deserve.

  • Axarquia Animal Rescue are full beyond capacity – foster or adopt

    Axarxquia Animal Rescue cannot take any more rescues at the moment, the financial crisis in Europe is hitting everyone hard and adoptions have dropped off.

    This weblink takes you to a Newsletter from association. Although it’s nearly a year old, I thought you would be interested to read about their efforts, adoptions, fundraising and sponsors.

  • Fuerteventura Dog Rescue – help with vet fees for badly injured podenco

    Fuerteventura Joy carried 400 8 2023
    I don’t know the back ground to the rescue of this podenco – I have asked. But this is the ongoing story so far.

    ‘Joy, as we have named her, is still admitted with medication and serum. He can’t walk. They have done X-rays and more analysis. He possibly has rickettsia, pending lab results but will take a few days.

    Update.

    Finally got baby girl out of the clinic last week (tested positive for rickettsia and is on treatment 28 days antibiotic). The neck injuries are getting better and slowly coming back to strength.

    Thanks to our colleagues at the Esquinzo Finca Association, she has a host home until she is 100% recovered and then the Tierhilfe Fuerteventura Association e. V will be looking for a family to look after her for the rest of her life.

    If you can help with vet costs it would be a great help. You can donate to our bank account or
