  • Good news for some pods – don’t forget the pods in Murcia needing homes

    Things are a bit hectic here as I’m desperately trying to get the Italian translation of my galgo book onto the Internet to sell as an ebook before the end of the month. Scooby Italia have a big conference, Fermin is going, and my translator Daisy has been asked to speak. So I need my book ready to sell!

    I’ve had a few appeals in this week for help for podencos but before I had chance to post them, I’ve had news that the dogs have been saved by different organisations. I’m away again for another couple of days – this time not dog related! – but will be back on line again at the weekend. In the meantime – Bev Farmer has all those fabulous podencos in Murcia who need forever homes.

  • Small Podenco Andaluz Odie on Valencia perrera death row…

    Valencia perrera Odie 190 10 2013This terrified little Podenco Andaluz is in Valencia perrera to be killed.

    Odie is a small beautiful podenco only a year old and has already suffered much. He has an intense colour like a Sun at sunset and in addition a finesse and elegance that leaps to the eye. He is so scared now… but when he knows he is loved there will be only light and love, and he will be a friend forever.

  • Podencos in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Solo shade 1 250As usual, my recent visit to Spain was full of action and, even better, rescued dogs! You can read about my visit to ACTIN on this link. From there I spent a couple of days with Bev and Warren and their 26 podencos at the finca they recently moved to. Most of the podencos are waiting for their forever homes, including Solo and Carina. Little puppy Sky and his best buddy Rembrandt already have adoptions arranged, as does Dave and little Maneto Lily. Please contact Bev if you would like more information on her podencos. She will shortly have a website where you can see them all.

    Enjoy this video of some of the podencos at play.

  • Sighthounds 2 Save, Belgium – helping the galgos and podencos

    Sighthounds 2 Save 200Regular readers will know that I often publicise the plight of the podencos on the Canary Islands, where their only hope of a forever home is on mainland Europe. Sighthounds 2 Save was created in 2008 and besides helping the Irish Greyhounds and Spanish Galgo, they work on rehoming the podencos of Tenerife and Lanzarote.

    This is an article I wrote a few years ago which first published on Galgo News – before I created this blog Podenco Post – from when the podencos have gone from strength to strength.

  • Arca Sevilla and Julio – the tale of a little podenco puppy

    Arca Sevilla Julio01 190 8 2013This is the tale of a little podenco puppy called Julio, because he was found injured by the roadside in Seville in July 2013, saved by Arca Sevilla.

    The story of Julio is like many other hunting dogs. When not used for hunting, are not responsive to the expectations of the hunter, they are abandoned to their fate. And their fate is often very poor. So Julio, a young podenquito, just a puppy, probably not starting out as a hunter like his owner wanted, he was alone and abandoned. Looking for life as he could, through fear, hunger and thirst, more thin, more damaged, more suspicious of all … one day, do not know when or how but he suffered an accident and his front leg was seriously damaged. Then came the pain and infection. In these conditions her would soon have died, anonymously, like many others before him.

  • On death row – two terrified podencos – URGENT!

    Carole van Tielen 170 2 9 2013And these two poor babies on death row (don’t know which perrera).

    Lucia and Fernando will die at the end of the week! Can we save them? Reserved but nowhere to go. If somewhere is not found and they are paid for, they will return to the perrera… Just been told Fernando will be pts on THURSDAY!

    FERNANDO is only about 8 months old, kind and curious but very scared. He will gain in confidence in a loving home. And Lucia is about 3 years old, terrified in the perrera.

    If we can get sponsors for them to go in a residence, even better a foster and forever homes, then we can get them out. Paypal me band@bbrennan.eu and I’ll send donations on, mark them Lucia Fernando.
