  • 2 podencos rescued in a terrible state – please donate to vet fees with Spanish Death Row Dogs

    Judge podenco 3 400
    From Lynn Judge and Spanish Death Row Dogs.

    ‘RESCUED!

    Phew what a stressful afternoon it’s been!!! Thank goodness they BOTH finally took the bait and entered the cage. We couldn’t rescue one and leave the other. We have had to be so patient and wait for couple weeks trying to rescue them. They are in an awful state and scared to death so goodness knows what they’ve experienced in their short little lives. But we want to change all that and now the hard work begins…….

    BUT we can’t do it without your help. We will need to do full bloods, tests and maybe X-ray for the poor one that is limping. Please please we are now begging for funds to help these two babies. They don’t know it yet but their lives are about to get a whole lot better. We will keep you updated with further news.

    Anything you can spare would be fantastic. Thank you’

  • Podenco Friends – Bella on the mend

    Bev Bella 400 30 3 2022
    From Bev Farmer.

    ‘After a thorough assessment at our vets Bella’s neurological responses are good pupils equal and reacting normally. Did a full blood panel and everything is fine no indication of any infection, kidney liver function normal.

    They are treating her for canine idiopathic vestibular syndrome (see separate post) Bella is coming up to 11 years old but she is a very fit and active dog you would never know she is a senior. She had 5 injections at our vets and they have sent her home with 2 types of antibiotics and Prednisone. With instructions to keep a close eye on her that she doesnt have a fall and hit her head, however to encourage her to walk on a lead.

    She is kind of out of it at the moment, I took her for a potter round the paddock on a lead, she turned her nose up at her normal dinner, so got some chicken and rice cooking for her.

  • Refugio Kimba – podencos hoping for forever homes

    Kimba 1 3 2022 400
    Refugio Kimba is one of the oldest animal shelters in Spain and they are still working hard for the Spanish hunting dogs. Here’s what they say about the Podenco.

    ‘Andalucian pods, Ibicenco, Canario, Campanero… so many types.

    When we talk about hunting we don’t only refer to galgos, the podencos are also used by hunters until they no longer serve them and they get rid of them.

    Podencos are smart, tender, loyal, they are special dogs, only those who have ever owned one will be able to understand. They are also one of the most abused and used breeds and that we also have to fight for them.’

  • Axarquia Animal Shelter, Torre del Mar – Podenco Kiwi for foster

    AAR Kiwi 1 400
    From Diana McClelland – Kiwi’s story.

    URGENT FOSTER APPEAL : KIWI (AAR 2498)

    Little Kiwi was rescued at 8 weeks old, with wonky legs. X-rays showed that her femurs in her back legs hadn’t formed properly and she needed to grow and develop to see if she would need an operation.

    Now 12 weeks old Kiwi has gone from strength to strength – the improvement in her legs and mobility is fantastic. She’s still a bit wonky but she gets herself around brilliantly and loves to play and run and cuddle and has a great quality of life and is pain free.

    She doesn’t know she is any different from any other puppy and she doesn’t let her disability slow her down. She’s a small girl girl with a big personality – can you help us to help her by fostering? AAR will provide everything you need and will cover all her vet bills and treatment.
