The courts of Telde no 1 have taken over the investigation from Seprona against a resident of Aquimes who kept 84 Podencos on a finca held in poor sanitary and hygiene conditions and now they have been transferred to the pound Albergue insular Banaderos .

Along with local police and veterinaries Seprona agents made the decision to enter the finca even though the owner was not present who was later notified to come to the facilities . An inspection revealed of very poor conditions for the animals that endangered their physical integrity and confirmed by a medical report of the veterinarians on site

A total of 84 dogs were seized 78 adults and 6 puppies the majority with different diseases and condition

The owner of the animals is responsible for an alleged crime of mistreatment and animal abandonment typified in the penal code.

Happy New Year and thank you for following Podenco Post and supporting the appeals.

News from the finca and Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends

‘It’s the third visit to us this year for Sandra and Dave and every time they arrive with a suitcase full of treats and goodies for the Podencos .. the dogs now recognise the case for they know it will be full of gifts for them

This video is important to me not only to show the joy of the dogs but that Tilly is there with them … Two weeks ago she was so sick to the point I made the call to my vets. I stayed awake with her through out the night watching her every breath for I thought her time had come. She is my everything and she was was slipping away and I was falling apart as to lose her would break me. But I under estimated what a strong warrior Tilly is. Yes she is old 17 and half years and no longer can run a marathon and is frail but she is back to shouting at me and getting on with life .. For now I treasure every single minute I get to be with her and she is on the video checking everything out precious moments to enjoy.

Many thanks to Sandra Inglis and Dave Inglis for everything’

Jett and Larimer are 2 podenco x hounds growing up on the finca and looking for forever home.

So sad when a dog’s owner dies and the family don’t want the dog. This boy is 10 years old, still a lot of life left in him. But is there anyone who would offer him a home forever? Contact Dogs of Portugal direct if you have room in your heart and home for him.

Read about him on this link.

My new year wish is for all podencos to have a safe, happy, warm home…sadly just a wish whilst the hunters on the spanish mainland and the Canary Islands continue to overbreed and dispose of their dogs in such huge uncontrolled numbers.
