  • Special forever home needed for disabled Podenca

    From Polly Mathewson

    A VERY SPECIAL FAMILY NEEDED FOR A VERY SPECIAL GIRL

    Beautiful white podenca JULIETA is currently in Malaga, Spain and looking for a very special family because she is disabled following an accident. She is very sweet, very loving and only a year and a half old. In the house her back legs will drag behind her and out and about she will need wheels. But with the right help her life can be so dignified, happy and fulfilling, and I can vouch absolutely that podencos are the loveliest souls you can be blessed to share YOUR life with! A podenca by your side is to have an angel by your side.

    For Julieta her guardian angel rescuer is Álvaro MP. He has saved her life as she was to be put to sleep in the pound in Spain, he is now paying for her vet work and physiotherapy and organising her wheels! But he needs to find that one special person who will give her the happy, loved future she so deserves.

    If you can foster or adopt, or would like to help in any other way please get in touch with Álvaro MP by Facebook PM/messenger.

  • 2 podencos urgently in need of a foster home

    Almanival 2 podencos 400 5 2023
    From Almanival

    ‘We are asking for help for this couple of podencos, urgently a home for both, but the dog is very pregnant. If they could be taken in so she could have her pups in safety. Otherwise she is on her own to have them and who knows if there will be problems, and they will be born outside.

    The owner, lives in the city, the dogs in a village far away and he works outside, which he can’t go to see them almost every week.

    Foster homes needed one male one female. They are 2 years old.

  • Canine Lipoma – don’t delay if you find a lump

    This is what my galgo Polar died from. The lumps appear very quickly so don’t delay if you find one on your dog.

  • Podenca – old, sick, abandoned…

    This video hurts just to look at it!

    ‘We’re overwhelmed and in vet debt plus Athena’s surgery, but we couldn’t leave her to her luck.

    No name yet, but now in a shelter near us. Those like us who have been in this rescue world for some time will already guess what has happened to this little girl. Long nails, skin issues and wounds…

    Can someone help us with her expenses, we can’t take any more needing vet treatment – please.

  • Malaga – animal cruelty in the extreme!

    Malaga Province – heartbreaking! From Desi.

    ‘I want to ask for help these poor dogs which spend day and night in this way, tied up and without barely food and water. They don’t stop crying and barking with despair. There is one that escaped and is by the station of Cartama, and it has a rope cut in his neck. It’s very afraid and does not approach anyone. I’ve reported it to Seprona in Malaga capital.

  • Galguero – I don’t want them so I won’t feed them!

    Hunter doesn’t want them!️

    The podenco approximately 4 years old and the galga approximately the same age (no doubt she is pregnant). Hunter’s words: I don’t need them and I don’t feed them for another day, either you take them from me or…

    My friend Carmina (who helped get Polar from Pepis to me) asked for help from associations to get them out of there as soon as possible.

  • Podenco Noel hoping for a forever home.
