My organisation North West action for Animals have been asked by local independent rescue EDDAC to help raise the vital finding needed to help these Podenco puppies get to the UK from a high Kill pound in Spain by 16th January. They have effectively been dumped on the rescue and not wanting to turn their back on these pups, together we need to raise a whopping £1100! Please please help if you can. We only have a few days left. The puppies also need foster and forever homes.

And we all know that the ruthless traffickers won’t take a blind bit of notice!
Update on Anita, the little podenco injured on the road and left to die. She’s now been operated on, is in foster care and doing very well. There is a video here, if you are able to view it (it’s on facebook), showing her hopping about on 3 legs, happily fostered with some galgos and another podenco. Asociacion Lasanimals
Please share with everyone – this is a fabulous tribute to these fabulous hounds! Every home should have one! Start the New Year with one! Here’s how to find one in your country.
Poet Alan Brian and Pepi with THE BOOK – finally arrived for his for Xmas! Order your copy here Proceeds to Pepis Dog Refuge to help the hounds.
And look what was dumped on them on Xmas Day, under the rubbish bags! Jane says it’s the first time dogs have been dumped in a proper dog bed! 2 more mouths to feed – 80 dogs – costs 650 euros/month to feed them all. Please help, including Satin.
Dioni is hoping to travel 26th December to collect Frankfurther Hoggity Doggity. Here’s the story of another podenco, safe for Xmas, who will be travelling with him from 112carlotagalgos to Last Hope Dog Rescue for preparation for rehoming. Charl tells the story.
‘So while we were away Sebastian was called regarding a rescue. This podenco had been followed by Francisco to his door while he took his dogs out he came back and the young pod sat still on his door step. Waiting.. praying he’d come to the right place. He was taken in by the couple but while we were in Belgium they kept him. So here he is! A sweet young pod. Approx 1 year old.
A million thanks to everyone involved in galgo and podenco rescue, to the fosterers and adoptants who give these fabulous hounds forever homes. And thank you for reading and sharing my posts and appeals.
Frankfurter Hoggity Doggity Fernando has an association to take him – Last Hope Dog Rescue. Irene and Steve Allan are very experienced podenco adoptants, fosterers etc in the association. So I’m now sorting out transport to take him from Kate’s to them. Will keep you posted. BUT – we’ll need to raise the money to pay the transport costs, when I know them.
So, rest easy, Kate, help is on its way. Bless everyone for caring about both Kate and the podenco.
