Podenca Coco hoping for a forever home.
Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com

Canary Islands – Podenca puppy dumped alive in trash bin
Some people found an injured and dying young woman in a trash bin inside a bag. The little dog was found casually by a volunteer from the Noah’s Ark protective association, who managed to save her life and has reported the case to the Civil Guard. Events took place in Granadilla
The story of Hannah, a Podencian puppy, is so frightening that it’s hard to believe she had a favorable outcome. The little dog was found badly injured and on the verge of death inside a bag in a garbage container in the neighborhood of Atogo, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, in the south of Tenerife.The case has already been reported to the Civil Guard and is in the hands of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA), which has opened an investigation to try to identify the author of the events, as explains to @planeta_canario the manager of the Noah’s Ark Protective Association, Beautiful Gallinat.

Traumatised Podenco Andi needs a special home
Regular readers will know the story of Podenco Pepe and his rehabilitation with Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends. This is his brother Andi who also needs a special experienced understanding home.
We are desperately searching for a long-term foster home for Andi who is with Friends of Aprop in the Valencia region, Spain.
Please share , let’s make him visible to as many people as possible.Just like Pepe, Andi is very anxious and fearful of people. The rescue has been working with a behaviourist, and he is now allowing gentle touch, which is a huge step forward. But sensitive, troubled dogs like these two boys will never truly thrive in a busy rescue environment.
They need calm. They need quiet. They need one person willing to give patient, one-to-one support. (more…) -
Podenco Pepe – a work in progress after a lifetime of fear
Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes about Pepe – a podenco whose life has been full of fear.
I wanted to give some insight into why Pepe struggles to cope with so many everyday things. Piecing together his history, it likely began before he was even born.
Pepe was born to a very nervous Podenco living on the streets. During pregnancy, a highly stressed mother produces stress-related hormones, particularly cortisol, which can cross the placenta. This can affect the developing puppies’ brains and their stress-response systems, essentially setting their “stress threshold” much higher than normal. Puppies exposed to this are far more likely to grow up fearful, anxious, and easily overwhelmed. (more…)

PACMA – speaking up for the animals of Spain
Thinking of all the Spanish rescue shelters in Andalucia during the terrible Storm Leonardo and praying none of them are flooded out or suffer damage. This from PACMA – Partido Animalista.
We’re writing to you today at a particularly worrying time. Given the adverse weather forecast for Andalusia, we at PACMA have had to do what no other political force is doing: demand the activation of an emergency plan that includes animals.
While the authorities are preparing (and rightly so) to protect people and infrastructure, animals remain absent from official protocols.
Overcrowded shelters, volunteers without resources, animals dependent on humans completely exposed to the cold, heavy rain, or potential flooding. This is the reality that keeps repeating itself, and from which we never seem to learn. (more…)
