  • 2 Podencos in Cuenca hoping for forever homes

    Cuenca podencos 1 3 2025 350
    CUENCA PROVINCIAL HOSTEL – LES INVISIBLES

    CHOCO & KRISPY

    CHOCO is a beautiful chocolate-colored podenco with shiny fur almost 4 years old; he has two at the Cuenca Provincial Animal Shelter. He walked in with his brother Krispy; a hunter got rid of them. KRISPY looks like a desert fox. He’s a sandy coloured pod, a little shy due to his rough past.

    At first they were very afraid, they didn’t let themselves be touched. This has improved in the years they have been at the hostel. Krispy is the most unsuspecting of the two brothers. He doesn’t bite, but he does keep his distance, he is precautious.
    Therefore, whoever decides to adopt them as part of their family, will have to have patience and respect their needs and rhythms.

    Podencos in the Canary Islands find it difficult to find forever homes because of the cost of flying them to mainland Europe. But they deserve forever homes as much, if not more, that most podencos. This sweet podenca is hoping for her forever home soon.

    PIRATA female 2 years old, Podenca Canario very sociable and affectionate, LOOKING FOR A NICE FUTURE. She can travel

    SARA Protectora Lanzarote say: ‘A few days ago we gave a talk about animal protection and welfare at the Official Reef Language School. To this talk we were accompanied by the sweet PIRATA, this beautiful podenquita who charmed everyone present asking for cuddles at every step.

  • PACMA – protestng about the Royal Decree 666/2023

    PACMA logo 400
    PACMA – we want to tell you that on 5th March 2025 we have presented a proposal for an urgent modification of the terrible Royal Decree 666/2023 of the Government, which has generated enormous discomfort among veterinarians and animal guardians. There are many inconsistencies to correct.

    Why is this decree a problem?

    It requires notification of each veterinary prescription through the PRESVET system, including animals considered companion animals, when the European Regulation excludes them.

    It requires pathogen identification tests for certain antibiotics, which delays treatments and is costing animal lives.

    It imposes mandatory identification of animals for the administration of medications, making it difficult to treat community cats and abandoned animals. Such as where cats in a feral community are caught, neutered and returned to their community.

    From The Green Olive Association

    22nd February – of Olvera, this little dog has been around our town for a few days, yesterday she was run over and as a result one of her paws is injured. We’re trying to get her out of the street but she’s very scared, also we couldn’t make a routine to be able to set up the trap cage outside of our working hours. We ask you, please, not to try to catch it and if you see it in any area, inform us about the place and time, if possible to do it privately via WhatsApp to 637377560 to avoid further harm.

    27 February – Neighbors of Olvera, we can’t believe it… Today we wanted to give you the great news that the dog with the injured leg was rescued but the situation is different and we are not believing it, we explain why: These days we have been receiving warnings of a podenca with an injured leg in different areas of Olvera, as we have been able, in the free hours we have done routine and also counting on some warnings from neighbors as well. Yesterday after 6 hours of rescue and with a professional rescue team that traveled to Olvera we managed to rescue her!

  • The cost of hunting in Spain

    From Plataforma NAC

    There are fewer and fewer hunters… but Spain is still a great hunting ground!

    The number of hunters in Spain has dropped staggering: 45% down in the last 50 years and almost without generational relief. Meanwhile, 85% of Spanish territory is still destined for hunting, a multimillion dollar business in the hands of a few.

    The cost of this activity?

    30 million animals killed every year.
    Lead ammunition polluting the environment.
    Dozens of dead and injured in hunting accidents.
    Dogs used and abandoned after the season.

    Hunting is not necessary or ethical! Most of society rejects this cruel practice, but kinetic lobbies continue to impose their interests.

    Lanzarote blind pod 3 350
    Pirate is a Podenca Canario with only one eye. 2 years old, sociable, affectionate, neutered and vaccinated. She is ok with children, dogs and cats. A few days ago we gave a talk about animal protection and welfare at the Official Reef Language School. To this talk we were accompanied by the sweet PIRATE, this beautiful podenquita who charmed everyone present asking for cuddles at every step. As the talk was in German and Pirate isn’t very good at it, she took the opportunity to greet everyone and show them how good, caring and noble she is.

    She would love a forever family, her only hope is on mainland Europe. She can travel.

    Adopta un Podenco de Lanzarote

    (We adopted a totally blind podenco over 3 years ago. He is an amazing dog, walks well on the lead, walks up a ramp into the car, causes a stir whenever he is out as people always want to stop and chat about him. So Pirate has an advantage is that she is partially sighted. Let’s get her the home she deserves.)
