  • Podenca Vida – looking forward to a forever life

    Video

    From Galgos Rescue Almeria.

    The story of a tiny, incredibly fragile podenca puppy who was only 2 days old S when she came to us.  She weighed just 308 grams. Today, that little girl has grown into a beautiful, healthy young dog weighing an amazing 8 kg! What an incredible journey she has already been on.
    Yesterday it was time for another visit to the veterinarian, and once again Vida was an absolute star! 💪 She learns so quickly and continues to amaze us every single day.
    With her microchip, European passport, and rabies vaccination, she has now completed the very last step in preparing for a bright future.

    This podenca is with Galgos Rescue Almeria.  She is not microchipped but was wearing an anti bark collar!  They believe she has an owner and are appealing for anyone who thinks she might be theirs to get in touch.

  • Never give up working with a fearful dog – the rewards are wonderful

    Video

    From Bev Farmer

    Pepe .. the same dog a very different moment
    For those who have recently joined us this is Pepe… a podenco born in the countryside with his 8 siblings, and their mother, for months trying to survive.. It left him with a deep rooted distrust and fear of humans. Once rescued he was completely shut down and if approached in his kennel would pee and poop himself and out of self preservation he was a fear biter.  I’ve been working with him for 7 months now, and he is a very different dog..
    Trust replaced fear, one day at a time.
    Months of quiet, consistent kindness.
    When a dog feels safe, everything changes.
    This is why I never give up.
    (It took me over 2 years working with a very frightened galga to gain her trust for her to become a ‘normal’ dog_never give up)

  • Podenca Fliss – starving and lost in the UK

    No photo description available.

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    Some updates remind us why rescue matters… The Podenca I shared a few days ago from the pound in the UK is finally safe.  After seeing my post on Thursday, Pam McLeod from Podencos in Need – PINS immediately contacted the pound in Bradford. Today, they signed her over into Pam’s care.
    of Fliss when she was rescue.
    It was a long journey to freedom. Pam’s wonderful team member, Sandie, and her husband drove to collect her before meeting Pam and her husband in Carlisle, who then took her home to Scotland.  She has been given a beautiful new name… Felicity, or Fliss for short.
    Sadly, Fliss is one of the most severe cases of long-term neglect and abuse. From her microchip records, we know she is at least eight years old, and on Monday, when the veterinary college reopens, we hope to learn more about her history.
