  • Introducing Hobo – happy on his sofa in his forever home!

    Anne Parkes podenco window 250 2 2016Anna Parkes wrote this story about her stunning Podenco X Hobo, another one rescued from Spain and now living a life of luxury in the UK.

    ‘I spent a week with an animal rescue charity named the ‘Asociacion de Animales de Berja‘ back in March 2013, ever since I have been following their progress over Facebook. Gradually friends and family members also followed the page, including my boyfriend, Josh. One day in January or February 2015 I awoke to see that he had tagged me in a post on Facebook; a beautiful brindle 6 month old male Podenco had been awaiting for a home since being thrown from a moving car a number of months earlier. He had spent time in foster but he could no longer stay there as they were due to go travelling. Despite multiple pleas for a new home, no one offered him one and the situation was becoming so desperate that the charity were soon left with no option but to send him to a shelter, which they were so keen not to do.

  • Hey Galguero and Cazadore – hear your hounds

    Bev poster great forgotten 250(Poster by Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.) A message to all the galgueros and cazadores. May you suffer as you make your hounds suffer.

    Hey Galguero!

    At first I was afraid
    I was petrified
    Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
    But then I spent so many nights
    thinking how you did me wrong
    And I grew strong
    And I learned how to get along
