  • Galgos Rescue Almeria – Tracy and Phoenix ready for forever homes

    GRA abused podenco Tracy head 400 7 2023
    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    ‘Tracy & Phoenix had an appointment at the vet for a general checkup and vaccinations. When these sweethearts arrived at Galgo’s Rescue Almeria they urgently needed immediate surgery. The traumatologist performed emergency surgery on Tracy’s upper leg on her right hind leg. (Tracy’s original story in March)

    With Phoenix it was the elbow on the left front leg. For him it was waiting patiently that he recovered completely and that his leg could be saved as he had been wandering around with his fracture for weeks.

    But now we look back with satisfaction on the work the vets at La Seda has done.

    Both sweethearts are now ready for the next step in their lives going to a forever home.

  • URGENT – podencos in UK needing new homes as adopter terminally ill now

    UK Ruby 400 7 2023
    Urgent Appeal from Animal Adoption International

    Lovely little Ruby was abandoned in Spain by her family when they left Spain. She came to the UK and we found she was leishmaniasis positive. This is well under control and all she needs is a pill a day. We thought she had got lucky and was adopted by previous adopters of the association who also had a little pod. Sadly her luck hadn’t changed as the lady died of breast cancer and her husband gave Ruby back.

    We found her the most amazing home again though, she had 2 small pod friends, 3 rescued older greyhounds and a large pod for company. It is the most amazing home and we thought Ruby had hit the jackpot. She had actually but sadly fate stepped in and a few weeks ago we got a message from the lady saying she had terminal asbestos lung cancer. How unlucky can one little dog can be.

  • Dibujando Huellas VDR – another shelter helping the abandoned hounds

    Appeal from the Association in Cordoba.

    WE NEED 195 € SO LADY AND HER FOUR PUPPIES CAN TRAVEL.

    We rescued these puppies almost a month and a half ago. Mommy Lady had her babies thrown in the field, in the Fuensanta de Montoro, where they abandoned her like so many powers when they are no longer suitable for hunting. The poor thing was about to give birth, went to a nearby bar asking for food, where at least she received it and they even helped us to catch them. We didn’t know where her babies were so we couldn’t rescue them until they grew up and Mommy would take them to that same bar so she would feed them to her girls too.

    The babies were fearful even days after their capture, they didn’t know what a caress was, nor a kiss, they had not had any kind of approach with humans.

    It’s been amazing to see how much they have changed over the weeks and now they enjoy human warmth.

  • Leishmania in dogs

    Many of the Spanish rescue hounds test positive for Leishmania, a disease caused by the Sandfly. Sadly it puts some people off adopting, and yet with an inexpensive regular dose of medication, the dogs go on to lead happy normal lives.

    Here’s a link to an article about Leishmania which I published a couple of years ago.

  • Traktive – finding your dog if it gets lost

    A story recently published tells of a podenco on a beach with its owner in Northern France. Some fireworks were let off and the podenco ran into the sea and swam off. It was wearing one of these trackers. The owner says the GPS signal was lost for about an hour, then reappeared to report that the dog had swum out to an island and was on rocks waiting to be rescued! She got a local boat owner to take her out to the Island to rescue her dog.

    So here’s a link to Traktive, the tracker this lady used. I shall be purchasing one for my podenca Rosie for when we go out on riverbank and beach walks, as she’s still so nervous she’d probably run off if there were any loud bangs.
