10 reasons to adopt an elderly dog

To everyone saving and adopting podencos and the other mistreated animals of Spain

Homer is 6 years old and he has spent his whole life on a chain by his hunter owner. As if that wasn’t enough the black hearted fiend beat Homer badly every day, can’t bare to think how bad that was. Homer is now in a residencia with the other dogs. He’s been there nearly a month, the kind angel who has been paying the kennel fees cannot afford to do it continually and he needs a foster home or a forever home urgently now.

Homer is a beautiful soul but when humans approach him he shakes violently with fear from the abuse the hunter gave him. This is so sad, he is going to need patience and an overdose of TLC to get him through what’s happened to him. It will take time but at the end you are going to have one beautiful boy who trusts you totally. If you think this could be you then please contact Teresa Watkin email or via her facebook page.

Come on, folks, let’s get this boy a loving home soon.

I’m very sorry to have to tell you all that Angel passed away in my arms at 9:55 am this morning, without the use of any injection. He was not suffering, but there was no way he could come back from the damage done from the original accident and subsequent operations.
I’m so sad that I never got to know the ‘real’ Angel, running like the wind, enjoying life, pain free and happy. I know he would have been wonderful to see.
Thank you all so much for your help and support through this tragedy. He knew he was loved by so many. So many tears for you.

Run free my beautiful, beautiful Angel, may you have wings at your feet and love in your heart always. I love you ♥

Just to recap – Lucia and Fernando and Odie have been saved – thank you everyone for helping to give them a future life, rather than a painful death in a perrera.

Today I am off to Spain for a week to visit Viv Wharton of ACTIN and find out more about their work and then to Bev Farmer to immerse myself in podencos. However, I’ve scheduled some stories to publish, so keep reading.

Good news from Dominique – all the podencos left in Valencia perrera left there yesterday, including the twins, the oldie, the black bitch…yippee. Now they will need help with kennel fees – am awaiting more info.

Take a podenco into your home and heart – lively, affectionate, loyal, lots of fun. Guaranteed to make you smile and brighten your day!
