Remember Podenco Rene? Happy in his forever home
Remember our poor podenco boy Rene whose adoption offers kept falling through one after the other by pure bad luck, and how just when he was getting pretty sad and feeling totally invisible he fell on his paws with forever Mum Deborah Ashton back in December?Well here’s a little album of our cheeky Spaniard’s first months in the UK for all his fans to enjoy and to see how happy he is: zooming round the garden, out on field walks, hobnobbing at doggy day care and getting busy with the ironing – or is that practising surfing for his holidays!! And I have to include his and Deborah’s first-meeting photo again as last but not least as it says it all: these two just love each other. Greetings from Rene to all his friends and in particular his special people, godparents and kennels Mums. As ever it was a team effort to keep him safe all that time from when we first rescued him from the pound.

Podenco Ruso – from hell at the hands of a hunter to heaven in a loving home
A heartwarming rehoming story from Vivien.‘I heard about the plight of the Podenco’s on Podenco Post in 2012. On it was a article about a Podenco called Ruso. He had been rescued from a hunter where he had been kept in a cage since he was a puppy. He was badly abused, starving and ill when he was found. He had been rejected as a hunting dog as he was no good at hunting so he was left to die.
When I saw Ruso on Podenco post I sent an email to a lady called Ainhoa who helps a wonderful lady in Seville called Inmaculada agomez Gonzalez who rescues Podencos and Galgos from a gipsy settlement.
Because she did not speak any English I was only contacted by Ainhoa who arranged Ruso’s transport to the UK with SOS podencos.Sadly since having been brought back to health Ruso was still in kennels with no one showing any interest in him. We decided to foster him.
He arrived in the UK from his long journey from Spain, we first saw him being taken out of the van and he looked so frightened and cowered when placed on the ground.
