Send healing thoughts to Bev Farmer and Podenco Pinto
From Bev.‘its not good news for Pinto
The scan revealed two masses one is the lymph node and a second much bigger one which is not regular in shape. They took biopsies to be sent to the labs so we wait to hear, but we think the worse, that it is cancer. The scan showed the bigger mass is maybe attached to the main artery so it would not possible to operate and would need to a MRI to confirm this.
This morning my vets were surprised to hear Pinto is 14 years old. They thought he was a lot younger and commented what wonderful condition he is in he was alert and bright, his heart and lungs strong. For the moment they have sent him home with medication until we get the lab results they can do no more.

Cuidad Animal Refugio Animales – lots of podencos needing forever homes
Ciudad Animal Refugio Animales AbandonadosWONDERFUL POWER
El Podenco is the typical dog we usually see from the highway wandering around the field, which is confused with a galgo. The one who lives locked in a junction for years, the one who belongs to a rehala.
That hound dog no one wants.
Podenco means light feet.
Its stylized figure, its agility on any ground, its incomparable tracker, its visual and audible sharpness, its ability to adapt to any temperature. All of this has made from the podenco an essential “tool” for hunters.
The podenco has always been used for hunting, throughout its history.
But let us talk about the other side, not the one we are used to seeing, but the other, the good one.

Mogan podencos – Gran Canaria – fosters required for the oldies
From the association Adopta un Amico en Gran Canaria.‘We need TEMPORARY HOUSES, for the 8 old podencos of the Case “90 Podencos of Mogan”.
After a year and a half since being rescued and taken to the kennels, we have been given permission to remove them from the kennel and keep them in Casas de Foster until the end of the Court trial.
Many have arthritis, blindness etc….. they don’t deserve to stay in a cage, now comes the cold, humidity etc..
WE ARE LOOKING for people with patience, they are dogs with fears, phobias, they have never been in a house and they do not know what a caress is….. and much less what it is to sleep warm.
We don’t know when the trial will end, of the 84 dogs that were removed from the hunter only these 8 had a chip…… the others (minus Siso, Bimbo and Ananda) are already adopted or on probation with families.
Having a chip they have not been able to look for family or get out of the kennel so far.
