  • Podenco Pepe terrified of storms

    What a night we had recently, a huge thunderstorm in the early hours the type of thunder that makes your windows rattle and a sky full of lightning .. then the rain lots of it .  Normally it’s not a problem, the dogs don’t take any notice and sleep through it. Not for Pepe, he was in a mega panic crashing into everything . He had been unsettled throughout the day I wonder if he sensed the storm was coming? I couldn’t comfort him in any way I just kept walking him around the house for about 3 hours.  About 6 am the storm cleared and in a few minutes he was calm again. None of us has had much sleep so early night tonight for everyone.

  • Podenca Lima urgently needs experienced home

    URGENT – PLEASE READ, WE NEED YOUR HELP..
    Lima is a beautiful Podenca who was first rescued by Friends of Aprop, the same rescue Pepe came from. Sadly, this stunning, timid, gentle soul has been rejected three times through no fault of her own. She was initially adopted and returned after five months because she “wasn’t improving.” Since then, she has been in two foster homes, but circumstances now mean she can no longer stay.

    Lima has been given just ONE WEEK to leave. If no foster home is found, she will have to return to the shelter. Time is desperately short. (more…)

  • Foster/Adoption home needed urgently for Podenco X puppy

    From Ibizan Hound Rescue

    We are really needing a new foster or forever home for Sierra if anyone can help please. ASAP

    SIERRA   –  Currently in the UK looking for a foster or forever home . Cardiff area .
    Date of birth March 2025

    We are looking for either a forever home or a new foster home asap for Sierra . Sierra is a Podenco cross and is great with people. In her current foster home her foster parents feel like their dog is unhappy with Sierra. Sierra and her play well together but she has also been snappy to the fosters dog and has guarded food and furniture from her . She is no problem with these things around people .  She is a very sweet, cuddly girl snd super friendly with people and with other dogs when out and about. She plays well with the foster parents dog , typical pod / lurcher bitey face play .  She may be better either as an only dog but with another dog who won’t be afraid of her when she’s snappy.

  • Podenca Tila – A Spanish Agility Champion

    From Bev Farmer

    Tila — a rescued Podenco and RFEC Agility Champion of Spain 2025.

    I’ve followed Adrián Granda for several years watching his incredible journey with Tila. Once again, for the third time, she has won her group at the Spanish Championships.

    Tila’s story began in the most humble of places. She was one of three tiny pups in a pet shop that helped local rescues find homes. At just 3 months old, Adrián adopted her… who could have imagined then, that this little Podenco would grow into a three-time agility champion? (more…)

  • Podenco Friends – taking on the Dog Walk Challenge

    Podencos are capable of more than many imagine.!  Last month Esca and I took part in the Dog Walk Challenge, organised by Nancy Wigglesworth. The challenge combines kilometres walked, metres climbed, tasks, tricks and group activities. It is all about confidence, connection and simply enjoying time together. We work in teams and your team members can be from any part of the world ..
