    From a post by Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends

    The Use of E-Collars on Podencos: what are your thoughts about using them?

    On the attached photo a question was put to a advocate of e-collars .. Why would you use E.Collar on a podenco that has been abused ? The answer was extremely disturbing. Please read the reply on the photo.

    The Reality of Rescue: Healing the Broken

    Every Podenco that enters rescue has a story—often one of neglect, fear, and survival. We spend months rehabilitating them, earning their trust, and helping them recover both physically and emotionally. These dogs, already so fragile, should never be subjected to training methods that rely on pain and fear.

  • Podenco badly injured caught in an illegal snare!

    Luz snared 2 2025 400
    The Gift of Kings: Delivered from a Slow and Sure Death. This is how this podenca was rescued, with an anchored strain, illegal and quite dangerous, it destroyed its leg.

    She’s been every Christmas a slave to human evil,….. her malnutrition and the state of the cachexic reflects it.
    Let’s call her LUZ (LIGHT), because we need a ray of Light in the face of so much evil, passivity and indifference.

    From Huella de Jaén we’re going to help her, WE THANK the State Security Forces for the intervention and that there is JUSTICE.

    We continue with her cures to save her leg. Let’s hope for Justice, to finally end those illegal practices that still exist, leaving many mutilations to innocent beings.

  • Podenco Merlin with Akira Dog Sanctuary – desperate for a forever home

    Akira dogs Merlin 400a
    Merlin is 5 years old. He’s been in the shelter for 4 years! His whole puppyhood in the shelter. The volunteers have worked hard on him, taking him out for walks, to the beach and lots more. But it’s not the same as his own family in his forever home. He would prefer a rural home with a large garden and your reward will be a lifetime of loyalty, once he settles. Don’t let Merlin be one of the invisibles.

    More about Merlin with videos on this weblink.

    Contact Akira Dog Sanctuary direct on the above weblink if you can offer Merlin a home for the rest of his life.

  • Life is hell for Portuguese Podengos

    Azorean Podencos huddled in kennel 400
    The situation with the podengos in S. Miguel, Azores, is disastrous. One of the biggest problems is that it is mostly unknown that these dogs actually exist. And yet, the Azorean Podengos, with their distinctive identifying physical characteristics likely represent one of the original founder stocks of the breed. They should absolutely be protected.

    This poor bitch is chained up and used just for breeding!

    Peque’s Journey to a New Life🩷

    Last week Peque landed in Chicago, ready to begin an incredible new chapter. This moment has been months in the making, and his story is nothing short of inspiring.

    Peque was rescued by Galgos Felices Fundacion six months before I shared his adoption post on November 23, 2024. Up until then, he hadn’t sparked much interest. But that day, a message changed everything.

  • Sunday 2nd February 2025 – Europe is marching for the Spanish Hunting Dogs

    Plataforma NAC demo 400 7 2024
    From Platforma NAC (No a la Caza)

    [INTERNATIONAL PROTESTS] Europe united against cruelty. 32 European cities will take to the streets to demand an end to dog hunting. All details on this weblink.

    Thanks to international solidarity, thousands of abandoned hunting dogs in Spain find a second chance.

    Hunting with hounds in Spain is a barbaric practice that condemns thousands of animals to a lifetime of suffering and, in many cases, to violent death. It is time to ban this atrocity and ensure the well-being of all sentient beings.

    🇪🇸 Spain, wake up! We are the only country in the EU that allows this barbarism.
