Update on Vida after the operation – incredible what these hounds – and the galgos – survive! Foster home urgently needed to continue with medical care and rehabilitation. It’s at times like this I wish I had a small house in Spain to use for this purpose!

Podenca Ibicenco, Valencia – safe foster/adopting home wanted
Yet another injured, in Valencia. She’s not a year old yet and from what I can make out of the Internet translator, she was bred by a hunter, ran off at the first shots, was picked up by another hunter where the same thing happened. So now she desperately needs a place of safety, where her leg can be examined and treated. She’s been named Limba. The association need to find somewhere safe for her within the next couple of weeks.
PLEASE! We need help! A godfather to pay her costs in a residence, an association to take her, French, German, whatever. Contact: tereadoptasalvaunavida@gmail.com or 645784096

Podenco Nika, still waiting for a foster home through no fault of his own.
And Nika – still desperate for a foster home to convalesce. Please can someone take him to nurse him back to health. I’m putting this appeal out again, even though a friend of mine contacted SVPAP initially and offered to take him, She was told he was sorted out, and has now taken on another injured podenco to rehabilitate. This is a contact who speaks English, if anyone reading can help Nika. jharmu@hotmail.com
SVPSP have serious financial problems and are in danger of being closed down, which means about 500 animals in their care would lose their security of an association, Nika included. They have an appeal for help on Facebook, I’ve just made a donation. Let’s all try and help them by getting Nika in a foster home.

University Vet Students lend a hand in Cordoba
Laura writes from Cordoba. ‘We are some students of veterinary medicine in Cordoba (Spain) and 2 weeks ago we found an old female podenco here. This is the story……..please help us:
This is Tanke, she is a female Podenco Andaluz dog about 10 years old. She is educated, really lovely and obedient.
She was found battered and abandoned 2 weeks ago in Cordoba (Spain). When we found her, she had a huge wound where the microchip was before. Now she is cured…..but during the veterinary examination, it was discovered that she has crystalline sclerosis and retinal atrophy, so she will lose sight gradually.

Podenca found in trash bin, savagely attacked – galgueros again!
There have been stories on Galgo News about galgos dumped in rubbish hins and being rescued; this is the first time I’ve had a story about a podenca dumped in a trash bin.
Someone has stabbed her, destroyed her neck to remove the microchip. After she was thrown in the trash. she remained there for two days without help. She somehow ate garbage to stay alive. Her neck had been torn to remove the microchip, until someone realised she was there and called the police and saved her. She is now in Madrid in a veterinary hospital, where they are trying to save her. Her neck has been operated on, and they are working to save her. She has been named Vida.
The volunteer says, ‘I curse with all my strength these monsters, torturers, no guts, no heart, that they are capable of doing these savage actions. This poor dog has had to suffer a horrible agony. We will fight tooth and nail to save her! Irina.animalessinhogar@gmail.com

Valencia podenco puppy urgently needs foster home
This 3 month old podenco puppy was found abandoned a couple of weeks ago and has been in foster. She has been named Nana. Sadly she can’t stay with the fosterers and so an appeal is out for another foster home, or she will have to go into a shelter. She is quiet, happy, likes other dogs, ok with cats, wants to play in between sleeping! She really needs to be in a home where she can be trained, rather than a kennels.

Aanifeira in Portugal – saving a blind podenco
We sometimes question the wisdom of spending valuable and scarce resources on saving very sick or injured animals but, given the choice, I’m sure we would all make the effort. How many lovely stories have we read about hounds saved – Esperanza, Alphonso, Ulysees, and now Miel. Here is a wonderful story about a blind podenco in Portugal, rescued sick, starving, injured and blind from a major road. Aanifeira gave her a chance – here’s her story.
