  • Podenca Leila hoping for a forever home.

    Leila Protectora Animais Morrazo 400

    .
    Leila’s case is very sad, she appeared abandoned with her skin in very bad condition. She has spent a long time in the protectora waiting for a forever family. She is in foster receiving treatment for her allergy but there are a lot of dogs in the house and she really needs a place of her own. It’s not fair for a podenca who is so incredibly good, cheerful and educated, so if you’re looking for a bitch that will give you lots of love, and who would love to be pampered and have a friend for life, adopt Leila.

  • Male Portuguese Podengos looking for forever homes

    Jackie Dias Dick 400
    A couple of days ago I published some beautiful female Portuguese Podengos looking for forever homes. These are the male Portuguese podengos at the same shelter, run by friends of Jackie Dias, 30 minutes from Porto. The males are neutered and completing their vaccination programmes. They will eventually be microchipped and get an EU Pet Passport.

    Information for adoptees outside of Portugal on how the best way they can ship a dog to a foreign country can be given.

    Introducing DICK – (pic above) Male Podengo and very handsome – a true podengo with the bat-like ears! He also has a great temperament. He suffered a lot at the hands of hunters and eventually it is thought that after losing his scent on a hunt he got lost and was found hungry and thirsty. He is looking for a forever home.

    Jackie Dias lives in Portugal and has a couple of friends who run a small shelter in the north around 30 mins drive from Porto. Many of their dogs are Portuguese Podengos which are now on their way to being fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped when the adoption process takes place.

  • Great loss to the Podencos of Spain

    Warren last pic 400
    2 12 2018 From Bev Farmer this morning.

    The world is crying, Papa Podenco rest in peace

    Beverley’s message:

    ‘Yesterday Warren died in his sleep. I can not believe he has gone, we have been together for 32 years .. Friday was the most horrible day on my life dealing with various officials from the police, the Guardia Civil, the ‘coroner for 10 hours until he was taken for an autopsy. Last night I didnt dare go to sleep in case I didnt wake up. Today the dogs are sat looking at the door waiting for him to come through it .. it’s heartbreaking to see them. My lover, my confident, my best friend, my team mate who put up with my crazy ideas, who shared a passion for the Podencos.

  • Podenco Santana – Podenco Friends need your help for him

    Bev Farmer and warren Beards are always there for the podencos, no matter how many they have (one bitch recently rescued in the nick of time just gave birth) nor how desperate the situation. Read the story of Santana and please donate towards his vet feets.

    ‘Santana has been with us a few days and we have been waiting for a lot of lab results to come in and an assessment by a orthopedic specialist. Another Podenco Ibicenco discovered in a lamentable condition his body so depleted he struggled to walk. Left as he was, he would not have survived.

    He has a fracture to the right hip, the specialist has recommended not to operate, there is already a reaction to the bone so it’s not a recent injury. Surgery could make it worse plus he is at very high risk to have anesthesia due to his poor body condition. For now, restricted exercise, pain meds and it may heal ok on its own. If not, in the future they will need to remove the head of the femur.

  • Little podenca Leila – waiting for her forever home

    Protectora Animals Morrazo Leila 400 11 2018
    This adorable little rough haired Podenca is with Protectora de Animals Morrazo and she is waiting and waiting for a forever home. Here’s what they say about her.

    ‘Leila has spent a lot of time in the protectora and after two failed adoptions we couldn’t give her back to her kennels so a volunteer took her to cure an allergy and see what the problem there was with a podenca that only weighs 6 kilos. We have to say that Leila is pure joy and tenderness but the months pass and what promised to be a short stay is extended, which harms this beauty.

    Our fosterer has 6 dogs apart from those who need homes. Leila needs a definitive home where she finally sits in her place. Will you be her angel and offer that to her? Please help us to keep helping.
