  • The miracle of life –

    Podenca Zarita was rescued and had her babies at Podenco Friends. One of them was born with inverted hind legs.4 weeks later this happened. Lovely video of an amazing pup.

    My galgo pup Polar moved similarly when he was dumped at Pepis Dog Refuge at 2 months old. On the advice of 5 specialist vets, he was not operated on. Now at 18 months old he runs as fast as his galgo housemates – just one hind leg is shorter than the other legs because the kneecap is missing. Hopefully this little pup will make a similar recovery.

  • The Bastard of Bullas, Spain – video of second rescue –

    Further report on the second Bullas rescue earlier this year. Owner and perpetrator of all this cruelty is the creature in the white hat and moustache (I won’t call him human!), taken away by the Guardia Civil, denounced and to be prosecuted. The animals are in the care of Scooby, the goats remained on the site looked after by a great young man who is doing a wonderful job (there was nowhere else to take them at short notice).

    Please remember Scooby can’t do all this without your help – they rely on donations for feed and vet fees etc. and eventually adoption of the animals.

  • The Eye of the Devil?

    Henna Denzil eyeA beautiful, sometimes sad, heart-warming story of podenco adoption from Hennie.

    ‘Actually it’s the eye of Denzel, my ‘beloved’ dog.

    He can frighten people very much and half the population of our village walks on the other side of the street when they see Denzel coming. A lot of them ends with their face on the street when they pass by with their bicycle. They blame me for it but after years of hard working, on a friendly and sometimes a little less friendly way, Denzel doesn’t change.

    He was found as a puppy in Spain dumped in a dust container together with his brother.

  • Carina, a podenca with Podenco Friends, Murcia – adopt Carina

    When I was with Bev and Warren of Podenco Friends last September 2013, although I loved all the podencos, Carina won a special place in my heart. I really wanted to bring her home to me forever, but with 4 galgos and a very bossy little podenca, I really couldn’t afford to take on another dog – vet fees, feed, tick treatment …you know how it goes, especially on small pensions.

    so let me introduce you to the absolutely adorable Carina, a beautiful video. There must be someone who has a place in their home and heart for this gorgeous podenca. Contact Bev if you can help Carina.
