Urgent forever homes needed for two podenco puppies with APASA
These two adorable podencos puppies were thrown over the fence of the APASA dog pound. Jacky Hazeleger, their foster mom, tells the story.
‘Poor Pride and Prejudice! These 2 lovely podenco puppies were thrown over the fence of our dog pound in the night. Thank God that they ended up in a very good pack. If they have been thrown into a different pack, they might have been killed.

Scooby Auction 15th May – Donations urgently needed
Dear friends,
It is hard to believe that this year will be our 3rd Scooby North America Auction. Actually, we are having 2 auctions this year. One in June and another in December. In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.
This year we are hoping that with your generosity we can build a much needed puppy house. The puppy house will be fully insulated, including the floor. There will be whelping boxes for mom and her pups and a doggy door for the mothers to use the outside areas before the puppies are ready. There will also be room for them to play and romp around and of course beds for them to sleep without always having to be under foot.

Moxie May, a podenca with a wonderful forever home
For a change, a lovely story about Moxie May, told by her forever Mom Meryl Marsh.
‘I am from the U.S. and live most of the year in Belgium because my boyfriend works here. Last spring I started researching adoption agencies on the internet and learned that there are several in Belgium that place dogs from Spain, this lead to me learning about what a sad, desperate situation many dogs face in Spain. Before that, I had no idea.
Every country has it’s issues with animal cruelty, but I was really shocked to learn how bad Spain is with the hunting practices and such. This was also the first time I had ever seen a Podenco. I fell in love with their athletic build and of course the big ears. I was searching for a dog that would be a running companion for me and maybe provide a little protection when I am out by myself on a trail (although Moxie ended up being a relatively small podenco.)

Scooby Medina appeals for homes for beautiful podencos
This is a plea from Scooby Medina looking for foster and forever homes for these beautiful podencos. Here’s what Eva says. ‘The Refugio Abyda shelter in Jaen needs help. Scooby and I have been able to rescue 6-8 dogs in the last few months, but we are packed at the shelter, so I can’t take any more dogs into our shelter unless they already have a place to go. Please contact Scooby if you can help. These beauties so deserve to know love and comfort for the rest of their lives.
Kiko is podenco of about 5 years, measuring 56 cm and weighs 11 kg. He was very malnourished when found but is now in good health and should gain even a little weight. An art student found him abandoned on the street. He watched the dog for several days, scrabbling around the garbage bins. He was sorry for him and put him in a flat used as a studio for painting. The problem is that the people there

Crippled, abandoned, starved in Cadiz, podenco Nino needs foster and adopting home
Some years ago I met a small galga who was rehabilitated by Paul and April Carrier of Alpha Dog School, Rota, Cadiz – sadly victims of the recession. This galga had been confined to a small cage during her puppyhood to such an extent that she had curvature of the spine, resulting in a skippy walk – hence her name of Skippy. She was unsurprisingly a happy little galga in spite of her maltreatment as a puppy.
Here is another example of maltreatment, this time a little podenco. Here is the story of Nino, a small podenco found malnourished, abused and abandoned in Cadiz

This is a plea for help for a lovely podenco rescued from the streets of Cordoba, luckily before being injured on the roads. I know all the refuges are full to bursting, but if anyone can squeeze him in, please contact Carmen below. Here’s his story.
‘Hi I found this little guy in Cordoba, at a junction of roads at the entrance of the city … I asked around the area,no one knows ….. some do not even look at you, let along the animals!
