    ‘its not good news for Pinto

    The scan revealed two masses one is the lymph node and a second much bigger one which is not regular in shape. They took biopsies to be sent to the labs so we wait to hear, but we think the worse, that it is cancer. The scan showed the bigger mass is maybe attached to the main artery so it would not possible to operate and would need to a MRI to confirm this.

    This morning my vets were surprised to hear Pinto is 14 years old. They thought he was a lot younger and commented what wonderful condition he is in he was alert and bright, his heart and lungs strong. For the moment they have sent him home with medication until we get the lab results they can do no more.

  • Meet blind podenco Bocelli – new member of our family

    Bo face 1 400
    Last week I introduced you to our new family member Podenca Andaluz Rosely. This week blind Podenco Bocelli has joined our family. We’ve both lived with dogs all our lives but for both of us, a blind dog is a new experience. He was apparently rescued from life on a chain in a horrible place in Lorca, southern Spain. It’s not a good area for Spanish hounds. Here’s a bit about his character.

    Meet handsome Bo. He is as good as blind, weights approx 25kg and is 7 years old (as of July 2021). Bo wants to lay in his bed all day until it’s dinner time then suddenly he’s bouncing around and barking like a 6 month old puppy. His energy level is generally fairly low but he loves to potter around outside. At mealtimes he gets excited. He is good with other dogs.

  • Cuidad Animal Refugio Animales – lots of podencos needing forever homes

    WONDERFUL POWER

    El Podenco is the typical dog we usually see from the highway wandering around the field, which is confused with a galgo. The one who lives locked in a junction for years, the one who belongs to a rehala.

    That hound dog no one wants.

    Podenco means light feet.

    Its stylized figure, its agility on any ground, its incomparable tracker, its visual and audible sharpness, its ability to adapt to any temperature. All of this has made from the podenco an essential “tool” for hunters.

    The podenco has always been used for hunting, throughout its history.

    But let us talk about the other side, not the one we are used to seeing, but the other, the good one.

  • Mogan podencos – Gran Canaria – fosters required for the oldies

    Mogan oldie 1 11 2021 400
    From the association Adopta un Amico en Gran Canaria.

    ‘We need TEMPORARY HOUSES, for the 8 old podencos of the Case “90 Podencos of Mogan”.

    After a year and a half since being rescued and taken to the kennels, we have been given permission to remove them from the kennel and keep them in Casas de Foster until the end of the Court trial.

    Many have arthritis, blindness etc….. they don’t deserve to stay in a cage, now comes the cold, humidity etc..

    WE ARE LOOKING for people with patience, they are dogs with fears, phobias, they have never been in a house and they do not know what a caress is….. and much less what it is to sleep warm.

    We don’t know when the trial will end, of the 84 dogs that were removed from the hunter only these 8 had a chip…… the others (minus Siso, Bimbo and Ananda) are already adopted or on probation with families.

    Having a chip they have not been able to look for family or get out of the kennel so far.

  • Saving a Gran Canaria Podenco – lucky Zoe hoping for a forever home

    Gran Canaria Zoe starving podenco 400 11 2021
    This photo is of Zoe when she was rescued. Here’s what Salvaunpodenco say about her now.

    ‘Introducing ZOE. WELCOME!

    We never say it, but every time an animal enters the shelter, we get very excited, because we think that it has already begun to change it’s life and we hope to be able to find it the best family we can.

    Zoe was found without a chip, wandering alone, very thin and malnourished. They picked her up and took her to the Ceta de Santa Lucia. The volunteers gave us the notice because it was a pity for them to see it like this. So since we had room for her…

    Thank you for not leaving her on the street.

    ZOE is 3 years old and she is such a sweetheart!

    If you want her to be part of your family for the rest of your life contact salvaunpodenco@gmail.com
