Lost, abandoned – how to choose a family
Jan Hammond loves podencos and here she writes about rescuing Maite.
‘On our return journey from England so Spain in September 2015, with our 3 Spanish rescue dogs, we pulled in with our Motorhome to a service area near Valencia for a welcome coffee stop. On entering the lorry parking area we both noticed a small brown head peering over a concrete block and at once looked at each other and said ‘did you see what I saw’.
Behold a very thin young Podenco female emerged with a 5cm thick lump of rope round and hanging from her neck. Just able to stand but wagging the tail in a small movement to say Hallo! She knew instantly we would not hurt her,we had found a friend for life. On seeing our family she staggered over to greet them, so dehydrated and malnourished she went for the water first before a bowl of food.

Podenca Reina in action!
Here is a short video of Podenca Reina, rescued badly injured from a Feria, Jaen road and now in foster care whilst the vets consider whether the splint has helped heal her off hind leg or whether they will need to operate on that one after all. The pix are a little quick but look at the video full screen and see just what an amazing little dog Reina is. She already has a forever home to go to in Holland where there is another podenco waiting for her! Thank you to those who donated originally towards the vet fees, and to Podencoworld who undertook to pay the rest.
Longer video, including her out walking in the fields with her fosterfriends.
