  • Podenca Princessa hoping for a forever home in her twilight years

    No photo description available.

    Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.

    This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
    At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…)

  • Hope for Podencos – Podenco Deejay hoping for a forever home

    No photo description available.

    From Hope For Podencos

    Deejay is every bit as striking as he is sweet. A graceful Podenco Ibicenco with movie star looks, he trots around like a show pony and has completely stolen the hearts of everyone who’s met him.  Rescued after being found stray, Deejay has shown us what a lovely, balanced young lad he is. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he knows you, his affectionate nature shines through and he’ll make a wonderfully loyal companion.  He’s fantastic with other dogs and absolutely loves to play.

  • Every Podenco deserves to be seen, loved and valued

    From Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.

    It is so important that people hear about the struggles we face in rescue with the Podencos. Blanca’s tragic loss was devastating, but I hope her life was not in vain. Her legacy lives on in every Podenco we have gone on to rescue since.

    The perrera where Blanca came from is located deep in the countryside of the Valencia region, where many hunters keep Podencos. For many years, unwanted dogs have been handed in there when they are no longer considered useful. (more…)

  • In Memory of Blanca

    May be an image of dog

    I’ve been involved with the plight of the Podenco since 2007.  Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends was one of the first people I came to know.  One day I saw a photo of an old podenca dumped in a perrera and contacted Bev, to see if we could save her.  I would help with expenses etc.  This is the story from Bev.

    ‘Every year, Blanca’s post appears in my Facebook memories. 2013. 13 years ago. I will never let her be forgotten.

    Blanca was 13 years old when her owner handed her into a perrera in Valencia. Paid the service fee knownIng that a dog of that age would never be adopted and be euthanized That was her reward after all those years of loyalty and service. (more…)
