Podenca Picolino with a badly injured hind leg – safe with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert
From Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert
Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.
Picolino’s bad leg
Shy and really sweet. This is little Picolino, a little still baby who has arrived at our center. She has an injury on his paw somewhat complicated and it is that he doesn’t have a fracture as such, but the femur completely dislocated and therefore the entire knee joint damaged.
Her injury is really complicated and our vets have thought the worst and that she even needs to be amputated, but the truth is that she looks like she has a chance with a special surgery and a fully customized plaque. And even though we’re not on a budget yet, a custom plaque adds a lot to the bill…..
Our goal is to keep saving lives, but the hunters don’t keep galgos and more galgos coming in, and cases of traumatology constantly…

Stunning Podenco Ibicencos looking for forever homes
From Patri Esteve
Podencos Ibicencos, the poor cousin of the galgos!
Andalucia is an area full of them because of their features they have spread all over the territory. Maybe that’s why we don’t know how to appreciate what we have.
They are:
Faithful (especially loving and empathetic) energetic lovely (great with people and other dogs) willing loyal smart disease resistant and with few congenital diseases great at Agility love toys
….
But if there’s a race, forgotten and punished, it’s them.These are some of ours, they are female and male over 2 years old, no use for hunting.
But they make wonderful pets.
Want to check it out? Did you discover them and repeat them? Recommend a Podenco!!

Podenca kicked and abused and bleeding – safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria
From Galgos Rescue AlmeriaLast Wednesday evening, a Podenco was brought to the vet in extremely worrying condition. At first it was thought she was the victim of a collision. After further examination, her injuries appear to have been caused rather by severe abuse, kicked and beaten before she was hit.
Her condition was critical, she lost a lot of blood, not only at the fracture of her hind leg. Her body also showed numerous minor and major injuries. In A&E, blood came out of her nose and mouth, it was anxious to see how it was going to evolve.
Although she hasn’t microchip, (what a surprise!) the important thing is that she’s safe and will get the necessary care and treatment to recover. We have given this beautiful girl the name Tracy.
Thursday morning we went to visit her, her condition has now stabilised. Eating is also going much better and she is trying to take some steps. According to the vet, she is ready to come to our shelter where she can recover from her nasty adventure.
This week she will go to the traumatologist for X-rays of the fracture. When she is sufficiently strengthened, the surgery on her hind leg can be done.
Please help with these vet fees, and you can support our dogs for 1€ a month by joining our teaming group.

4 Podencos dumped in a perrera – the ‘detritus of Spanish hunting’
From Huellas EternasIn Spain you realize that no matter the time, no matter the “service” you have done, no matter that despite having delivered your whole life to the hunter, he doesn’t care what happens to you because of course, the new legal abandonment modality does not protect you, so here comes the perrera.
These are 4 beautiful podencas are 8 and 12 years old, their owner has given them to the facility because they are no longer going to hunt, so at their ages they are already well there and continue life….. but the 4 of them stands behind those bars….
Beacuse they are older, is it going to make it very difficult for them to be adopted? This is the big question that we are asking ourselves, with great pity and powerlessness, because cases like this break your heart even more if it fits.
We ask for adoption for them, we ask that they do not become invisible, we ask that their lives begin again from the warmth of a home and the love of a family that will love them for the rest of their lives.

Podenco Lucas waiting for his forever with Ourense Protectora
The Podencos, the great FORGOTTENGrandpa LUCAS’s feet hurt so much. He’s an angel who’s slowly turning OFF….
Grandpa Lucas at 10-years-old is one of the oldest angels of the protege and of the most needy. They say he has green EYES that just looking at you captivate you, the volunteer tells me that when they go out for a walk only once a week when they return she has to hold him in their arms like a baby because he doesn’t want to go in the CAGE.
Contact: Progape Ourense (Galicia)… progapeourense@hotmail.com Tel: 988 21 29 39
Lucas was one of the family and then when the owner moved to an apartment, Lucas was not in his plans, as happens too often.
Grandpa Lucas spent a long time without eating, ALWAYS waited for his “Family”… But this one NEVER came back for him…… Time passes and Lucas understood that his owner would never come back for him.

A dog is adopted for its whole life – not abandoned!
Too many people use the excuse of not being able to take their dog when they move. It’s an excuse especially used a lot in Portugal. It should be a last resort that the dog is taken to a shelter. -
