  • Podenca puppy Pia – rescued injured from a perrera – please help with vet fees

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    Meet Pia.  This brave little Podenco puppy was discovered in a perrera at just 6 weeks old—emaciated, suffering with giardia, and with a dislocated knee. Without help, she wouldn’t have survived.
    Thanks to Suspiros de Cuatro Patas, Pia received urgent care and has recently undergone specialist orthopedic surgery. She’s now receiving ongoing physiotherapy—a treatment that comes with significant veterinary costs. Galgopod have already stepped in with an emergency donation, but more support is urgently needed and they have organised a FB fund raiser to help her,
    Every donation will help cover Pia’s treatment and also support the many other Podencos waiting at the refuge.

  • Nervous Podenco urgently needs a foster home in UK – arrives 25th October

    Gala is booked to arrive in the UK on 25th October but we are still looking for a foster or forever home for this gorgeous girl.  She is really struggling in kennels and we already had to move her transport back a month. We don’t want to delay again.
    Her kennel buddy Indigo was equally as nervous and went to his new home in Sept – he has absolutely flourished and we know Gala will in time as well. If you can offer space for Gala to relax and start to decompress please do get in touch. She will be so rewarding.
    Please contact Hope For Podencos for more info and let’s help this lovely girl find a safe home to travel to.

  • Podenca Abril hoping for a forever home

    Abril is open, adaptable, uncomplicated and already knows life in an apartment, as she is currently living in a foster home in Germany.  This way, if you are interested, you can get to know them for the first time without any commitment.
    She is strongly oriented about her person of reference and is tolerant but restrained in dealing with peers. A dog already in the new home would be nice for her, but she will certainly also be happy as an only princess.

    Gender: female
    Birthday: 04-2023 (2 years old)
    Approximate size: approx. 60 cm; 18 kg

  • Injured podenco puppy rescued from a perrera

    Bev Pia 8 2025 350
    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    ‘When a Podenco is no longer “useful,” this is what happens…

    Pia is only 4 months old, weighs less than 3 kilos yet life has already been unbearably tough for her. She spent several weeks hidden away in a perrera, a frightening place for any puppy. Thankfully, a Spanish rescue stepped in and gave her a chance.

    But Pia’s struggles didn’t end there. She was born with luxation of both patellas and will need surgery to walk and live comfortably. Most likely, this is why she was cruelly abandoned. On top of that, she is battling giardia, a parasite that can be life-threatening for a puppy if left untreated.

  • Podenco Campanero Gandalf hoping for a special forever home.

    Campanero Gandalf 350
    Here comes Gandalf and his story immediately captured our hearts. Gandalf is a Podenco Campanero – he is 4-5 years old and he is deaf. He was separated from his master because he went to a nursing home. And then unfortunately his master died very quickly. He had called every day and asked for Gandalf. But that can’t be a phone call anymore.

    Gandalf is a super sweet and affectionate male. He gets along with other dogs and very friendly with people. Gandalf is looking for a very experienced home or foster home due to his deafness. We are just incredibly sorry for him. Is there a light sight for the beautiful Podenco boy? He is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for Mediterranean diseases.

  • The hard life of a Rehala podenco in Spain

    Rehala podencos 350
    From Asociacion Las Nieves

    Today we have found, by chance, this article by the great Carlos de Hita: “The sadness in the look of a hunting dog.” Little more to say, than what he himself expresses in the article. From here we want to pay a sincere tribute to all hunting dogs.
    “Sadness in the look of a hunting dog”

    DOGS OF REHALA

    Rarely the starting point for these sonic narratives is an image. In general, the photograph and the text accompany the editing. But this time all part of the sad and at the same time furious expression of the dogs in the photography. They belong to one of the rehalas that participated in a mounting in Sierra Morena on Sunday the 7th 2019, to put an end to that area to the hunting season.

  • Poem No to Hunting

    Poem pic 350
    INSIDE THE ZULO By: Marta Navarro Garcia

    Inside the zulu the air breaks, howls, moans, disappears.
    Just like us, that when the season ends
    we have become caged bones,
    rumor of sogas,
    hungry and cold made in spain.

    Sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet.

  • A long journey ahead for Podenca Amira – dying by the roadside

    The story so far about Amira, from Sandy Galgoslover

    28/07 Last night, at sunset, a remarkable rescue operation took place on a highway heading towards Níjar. A Spanish girl was driving unsuspectingly when she spotted a thin, frail dog staggering along the road. It turned out to be a Podenco girl, dehydrated, confused, and so weak she couldn’t even stand. Her paws were red and painful, burned by the hot asphalt she had walked on in her desperate search for water and a little shade.

  • Podenco Radham with Project Galgo – hoping for a rural forever home

    Project Galgo Radham 7 2025 350
    From Project Galgo

    Little Radham is available for adoption. He is a young, beautiful, affectionate and wonderful Podenco. Just 2 years of age, this button nosed boy is gorgeous inside and out. He loves cuddles and affection in all forms. Such a pure hearted and innocent boy, who is sociable and playful with all people and other dogs. Radham is cat safe and easy going enough to adapt to a variety of environments.

    We would like Radham to have a loving home in a semi rural location, with a secure garden and preferably another happy dog for company. He’s truly amazing.

    If you’d like to apply to adopt Radham, please do so via the ‘apply’ tab on our website.

    Thank you
