  • Podenco Campanero – the big podenco of Spain

    No photo description available.

    Introducing the Podenco Campanero and his crosses. A large-sized Andalusian podenco often crossed with Portuguese, Ibizenco or little-known mastiff and like so many podencos in Spain, also mistreated and humiliated for being part of the rehalas in the main hunt. Most of them are invisible because they remain their whole lives locked up in hunters’ kennels where they live crowded without seeing much sunlight.
    They’re called BELLERS because on hunting days where they go in a hurry harassing the prey, a bell was placed around their necks…

  • Podenco Geo living the life of love

    No photo description available.

    A year ago we found NeoGeo abandoned and chipless near a field frequented by hunters. His life has changed a lot in these twelve months, just like for us. He is so loving, beautiful and good, that we forgive him how he destroys things when he has to stay alone at home with another sister podenca. Now we can’t imagine living without him. We don’t know exactly when he was born, but for us his real life began on our side, far from the hardships of his old existence. Happy birthday Geo.

  • Podenco Babu is looking for a forever home

    Video

    You can read the story of why Babu is looking for a new forever home on this weblink.

    We all take on our pets – be they dogs, cats, rabbits, horses – hoping that they will live their lives out with us.  But we never know what is round the corner – ill health, a sudden death, loss of a rented home.  And it can be heartbreaking for the adopter to have to make a decision to part with their beloved pet and find a new home for them.  It’s also confusing for the animal, but most adapt much quicker than the person who has had to hand over their pet.

    Lets hope that the next home for Babu is the only one he will ever have.

  • Podenca Reina hoping for a forever home

    May be an image of animal
    Reina – a queen Podenca.  She was handed a hunter… and it makes us so sad to think how easily some people get tired of an animal when it stops serving them as a tool of work.  Fortunately she’s still a happy, noble and affectionate hound and is looking forward to finally finding a real family.
    Almost 5 years old and sociable with other dogs. We don’t think she would fit in with cats because he has quite a hunter instinct.
    She is in Murcia  and can be adopted anywhere in Spain, as long as they personally come to the shelter to pick her up.
    Para adoptarla podéis escribirnos a:  adopcionesalmohadillas@gmail.com
