  • Podenca Blanca in Jaen – looking for her forever home

    Blanca 111 2010 250 This beautiful podenca needs a forever home. This is her recent story.

    ‘Blanca is a beautiful 3-year podenquita which was adopted last week in Barcelona.
    Today is called the adopter and says he wants to return it because the dog follows her everywhere and is overwhelming. Blanca has been abused and needs a home to help her overcome her fears. We cannot let her return to our shelter in Jaén. We are saturated and there are fights every day. Some die when attacked by other dogs. Blanca does not deserve that after having experienced the warmth of a home.

    If anyone can help, write me abyda@live.com.

  • Beautiful podenco Bo – waiting for his forever family – can you help?

    Bo 2 04 2011 250 Here’s another podenco desperately waiting for his forever family.

    ‘Hi all, I’m Emi. Arantxa, a volunteer from the kennel Etxauri. This is Bo, who who loves and does not understand how nobody has even noticed him.

    BO came in August 2009 from a seedy kennel in Valencia. His kennelmate Scooby died, and Bo was alone and sad. We rescued him from there 2 years ago and he is still waiting in our kennels, but why? Bo is a hound, Ibizan and Portuguese. Beautiful, noble, good and happy in essence, loves to walk in the mountains and is obedient and loyal. Bo needs a home, but mostly, Bo deserves a family.’

  • Scooby Auction 15th May – Donations urgently needed

    Scooby appeal banner 200 Dear friends,

    It is hard to believe that this year will be our 3rd Scooby North America Auction. Actually, we are having 2 auctions this year. One in June and another in December. In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.

    This year we are hoping that with your generosity we can build a much needed puppy house. The puppy house will be fully insulated, including the floor. There will be whelping boxes for mom and her pups and a doggy door for the mothers to use the outside areas before the puppies are ready. There will also be room for them to play and romp around and of course beds for them to sleep without always having to be under foot.
