    Update on Kanji.

    Update, August 26, 2026: Unfortunately, there is some less-than-ideal news regarding sweet Kanji. That said… While the news isn’t exactly positive, it does demonstrate that shelter volunteers truly consider a dog’s specific needs and always prioritize the well-being of the animals—in this case, Kanji. It has been decided that Kanji will no longer be offered for adoption in the Netherlands.

    Kanji is a dog with significant trauma and a painful past; she arrived at the shelter having suffered severe abuse and having barely survived. Initially, this background made her seem like a shy but grateful girl. However, the longer she has stayed at the shelter, the more her fear of new things—and people in particular—has resurfaced. The volunteers cannot pinpoint exactly what is triggering her trauma again; it is possible that because she now feels safe in the shelter, her trauma makes her afraid of the unknown. (more…)

    Animal abuse in the Canary Islands: man arrested after being filmed beating a 9-month-old female dog.

    The San Bartolomé Local Police secured the animal before the Civil Guard’s SEPRONA unit intervened.

    The incident was recorded by two witnesses on Saturday, August 22, at a property in the municipality. The footage shows the man throwing the animal into the back of a pickup truck, tethering it with a short chain, and striking it several times, including on the head.

    After learning of the recordings, the Lanzarote Association for the Defense and Against Animal Abuse (Ademal Lanzarote) reported the matter to the authorities and requested the seizure of the animal.

    We’re happy to officially introduce you to Lio!

  • Podenco dumped as trash by a Spanish sub-human galguero

    No photo description available.

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    Recently, a Podenco was found dead, discarded in the rubbish, tied inside a black plastic bag.  She had a broken leg.

    In 2003, Tilly, the first Podenco I ever adopted, was also thrown away and left to die. She had been dumped in a rubbish container with a broken leg.  But Tilly was stubborn. She was strong-willed. And somehow, despite everything, she found the strength to keep barking until someone heard her.  That someone changed the course of her and my life.

    And here we are, 23 years later… and it still hasn’t stopped. (more…)

  • ElPodenco by Podenco Friends – simply stunning

    No photo description available.

    Over many years Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends has en able to catch stunning photos of her rescued podencos.  It is an amazing gift.

    “Rescuing Podencos I discovered a love for photography.. plus living so remotely in the campo was such a great background to take photos.  I took this photograph from around 20 metres away. Chaz at the time was only 6 months old and stood so still, looking out across the valley, As I was looking through the camera lens, silently I thought, please don’t move.

    For just a few seconds, everything was still… and I captured that special moment.
    To see them free.  Perhaps remembering where they have been.  Perhaps wondering what lies beyond the horizon.  Or perhaps simply enjoying the freedom to stand still, breathe, and take it all in.

  • The loyalty of a podenco is incredible

    Pingamor waited by the door of the lady that protected and fed him. She passed away but he didn´t know. He remained there day and night, waiting for her. Loyalty is rooted in this breed´s history.

    Happy to report that Pingamor now has a new forever home.
