ADOPT A PODENCO – ADOPT KOKE
There is a life hidden in your pupils
The one who peeks out when I look and doesn’t look at me…
Take care, even against the wind
I don’t see how beautiful it is to have you
At best I die…
But even though it hurts, even though it looks like it ends
I always love you, I would never leave you.. ” Valeria Castro
How long will you have to wait dear Koke to find a home. Everything in your life has been abandonment, loneliness, fear and pain. We don’t know how much you’ll have to wait, but if we can promise you that you’ll have a home, because you know dear podenquito, I’m going to tell you one thing “We will never abandon you”.

Please say a huge hello to Mr handsome RED – a completely adorable GOOFBALL despite it all!
Red is a podenco, estimate 2 years old.
Red has had an awful life. He was dumped on wasteland and left to fend for himself. He was spotted and rescuers tried to help him for 5 weeks!
Red was so afraid he just went into hiding, he was spotted around the same area many times. His body condition was very poor. He had to be caught or he would die.
Operation Red was put into place. Sedatives were added to food, Red was then watched from afar. He took the food, while he was asleep he was scooped up and was finally safe.
I’d never come across this until a couple of days ago. Mondioring – anyone else heard of it, or trying it already? Find out more on this weblink.
Many people are concerned when their dog starts to lose its sight – how will it find its way around? We made the choice to adopt a blind dog as they are always harder to find forever homes. And it has been a revelation, not least because wherever he goes out in public wearing his Blind Dog harness, it’s always a conversation starter with most people.
We adopted Rosie and blind Bo (Bocelli of course!) nearly 2 years ago, they have stayed in kennels whenever we have gone on holiday. The owner is a very quietly spoken calm man who works with rescued German Shepherds so he is very sympathetic to our 2 rescued hounds. However, we’ve always missed having our dogs with us on holiday, for beach walks etc.
This magnificent black beauty is True – a very unusual colour for a podenco, and stunning, safe with SARA Protectora.
‘TRUE, about 1 year old, small 53cm tall. Photo taken in July, the sun showing your fur, you were magnificent, you had arrived just a couple of days earlier, with your look you asked, and now what do we do?
You already trusted the human being despite the abandonment.
You trusted me and I promised you I wouldn’t stop until I get you the family you deserve.You’s
You’ve been waiting over 3 months, they seem eternal to me, your beauty dazzles.

This is Flaky, in a shelter in Alhaurin le Grande, Malaga. Here’s his very sad story.
A Shelter, a CAGE (5 Long years have been WAITING) should NOT be for life, just passing, but some angels signed their DEATH SENTENCE from before birth.
(Contact: The Hairy Smile) 652813071 Malaga.. He can travel.
FLAKY lost EVERYTHING overnight. His mommy that he LOVED so much and she loved him, went to heaven. And since then he has gone through 3 Shelters to arrive where he is in. He has been waiting for 5 YEARS. FLAKY loves humans above all, also his fellow dogs, but does NOT tolerate cats and also he is a VERY CURIOUS dog, he likes to wonder everywhere.
Flaky is one ofthose little podencos who spend years and years in a shelter and no one stares at them despite being absolutely wonderful. The only thing he doesn’t tolerate are cats, otherwise he is affectionate, playful, sociable, teaches shy little ones how to play, loves walks and children. He’s now 6 and a half years old and has been waiting for over 4 in our shelter after his previous mom died.
Will you help us give Flaky the life he deserves? He only weighs 10 to 12 kilos filled with love.

Metta was born on the 1st December 2022. She is now 8 months old and is so looking forward to finding her forever home. Metta’s fosters have played a pivotal role in rescuing her from a life of potential hunger, multiple pregnancies and ill health. They have taught her how life should really be for a puppy!

This little podenco is so sweet….
He arrived from Andalucía very thin and sad and although he has already gained weight and is more cheerful, he urgently needs to find a forever home where he can live quietly and comfortably receiving all the love that he has not had until now. Chip …69065

Podencos are high jumpers, much more so than galgos. Galgos caan be escape artistes, podencos are high jumpers!
So here’s an article by Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends on just why rescue associations insist on fencing/walls to be at least 2m high before adopting a podenco.
Why do we request secure fencing ideally 2m high.
To be fair over the years very few of the Podencos have climbed or jumped the fencing, but if motivated they have the ability to do so. The majority have little interest to escape. Plus it’s not always the big podencos, this is Rebecca who was smaller and she would climb the fencing like a rock climber and it was no problem her making the 2m jump down.
I understand people’s frustration about the stipulation for secure fencing but it is for the safety of the dog and trying to reduce the risk of it escaping. Once on the run they could get injured or worse and no one wants that.
