  • Podenco in Spain – abandoned, injured on the road, saved

    Angelica podenco 400 6 2022
    And another story not uncommon for the abandoned hunting hounds in Spain, from the same shelter involved with the mass rescue of 58 hounds recently.

    This morning I was leaving my parents’ house when I found a podenco puppy in the middle of the street. I stopped the car in the middle but wouldn’t let me catch him and started running away. After almost half an hour running around trying to catch him he ended up getting lost in the streets. I took a few more turns but I couldn’t see him again.

    Although we don’t have space in the shelter, I am very sad that I can’t help him.

    Then I get a picture of a girl I know from the association of my town and I see that the one in the picture is he. I notice he got run over and he has a very ugly lump in his abdomen, makes me so mad it happened.Thanks to Anabel, Marilo, Luna, etc. from the association the little one is now in our clinic. He is being tested because he peed with blood and wasn’t eating or drinking. So far the tests look like he got lucky and they’re not serious. Our vet has named him Raffaello because he says he’s the only white chocolate candy.

  • A new strain of tick-borne disease – Rickettsia

    A new strain of tick-borne disease

    Ticks can carry quite a few pathogens that can cause disease in dogs and humans. Some of these pathogens are viruses, some are bacteria, and some are protozoa (single-celled animals). Rikettsia are very small bacteria species that grow inside the living cells of their hosts. Different strains of Rikettsia are responsible for diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and various strains of typhus.

  • 58 hunting hounds rescue from a life of hell in Spain

    Sadly not an unusual situation for the poor hunting hounds in Spain – so many hidden valleys where the dogs can be kept away from public view. Details of one recent rescue.

    ‘Seprona and colleagues from other associations came to the site to confiscate 58 dogs from a hunting racket. We were six associations that have helped get those animals out of there. But sadly it hasn’t been possible to get them all out. 9 have stayed there.

    The asso Los Angeles de Lora have helped three, we didn’t have room for more. All the dogs are physically very bad, very very thin, they were fed water and hard bread and sometimes dead birds. A filthy place where no one should be forced to live. Here are a few general photos of everything that happened, you can see how the dogs were kept on short chains.

  • How long to crate a dog?

    https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/crating-dogs/

    Article in The Guardian.

    One woman, Nina Torres, reckons it’s fine for most adult dogs to be in a crate “nine hours maximum” during the day (with a walk in the middle), and then eight hours at night.

    I cannot believe anyone would condone incarcerating a dog for most of the 24 hours of its life!! I’m with PETA!

  • Les Amis d’Ivar association, France – Podenco Victor for adoption

    Amis d'Ivar podenco 400 1 6 2022
    Les Amis d’Ivar association in France have podenco Victor for adoption. He’s in Dept 59, Nord-Pas-de-Calais

    Victor is a beautiful small Andalusian Podenco of about one year old. He was found wandering with barbed wire embossed in his paw.
    We don’t know the origin of this injury, but today that misery is behind him.

    Ok with dogs, cats unknown. Nice to people, shy at first, but that’s ok. It will take a while to trust, but once it does, Victor will be the type of dog who will only have eyes for his human, a magical relationship.

    He is a beauty and we would love a family as beautiful as him to show him that the hand is no longer the one that hits, but the one that caresses.

  • Protectora Scooby – a desperate situation – over 450 dogs rescued since December 2021

    From Cobie at Scooby Valladolid

    ‘At the beginning of this year, Scooby saved the lives of many, many galgos and podencos from Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura. We had thought that most of them would be adopted by now but that is alas not the case. So please, if you think about adopting a dog, consider to give one of our boys or girls a chance and on top of giving them a so much earned home, you can lower our costs because with all prices skyhigh, we really struggle to make ends meet.

    Thank you very much!’

    John Doze pod 1 400 6 2022
    I received the following appeal in my Inbox this week. Maybe someone can help these 2 podencos.

    ‘I’m trying to find a home for 2 Podencos, they are 7 years old and I need a home for them as I’m moving back to England and cannot take the dogs with me. They come with their own kennels – see similar on this link. I have had them since they were a couple of weeks old and
    abandoned in a cardboard box.

    Attached are a couple of photo’s of them, I would be most pleased if you know of anybody that would like them. I live near Vinuela. Email me please.’

    The charming village of La Vinuela (Little Vineyard) is situated 45 kilometres from Malaga and 19 kilometres from the coastal town of Torre del Mar, in the stunning natural surroundings of the Axarquia region.
