  • TARA animal shelter, Gran Canaria – podencos searching for forever homes

    TARA Mogan Vitola May 2011 250 Brian Baptist is a volunteer with TARA, an animal rescue shelter in the beautiful port of Mogan on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. He’s passionate about the podencos on the island and the hard life they have. Here’s what he writes.

    ‘Canario Podencos are a breed of canine that evolved from goddesses and gods of Egyptian folklore. If any canine is god-like, it must certainly be the Podenco. They are beautiful beyond belief – ethereal in presence and physicality. Despite their reputation as a hunting dogs, they are in truth just about the best family pet for whom a human could hope.

  • Two Podenca Mums in Valencia – anyone room for them?

    Family Trapp Valencia perrera 250 One of the things which amazes me about the refusal of the Spanish councils and authorities to do anything to stop the abandonment of dogs and cats is that there is a high health risk – toxocara canis. Dog mess everywhere, where kids walk and play! Here’s the tale of two more podencas, dumped and now with puppies to feed. Can anyone help?

    This poor podenca is in the perrera in Valencia. You can see from the state of her that she is struggling to feed 10 puppies! They have been called the TRAPP FAMILY. She was picked up and taken to the perrera when a neighbour of the person feeding her threatened to poison her. In the perrera they ae all exposed to viruses and infection. Can anyone help this beautiful podenca? The brave TRAPP deserve our help.

  • Spending their lives in a shelter – can you change that forever?

    SARA Lanzarote, Canary Islands. The only hope for podencos in their shelter is for them to be adopted in mainland Europe. These are beautiful dogs who deserve a life in a forever home. Please take a look at them. If they are not adopted, they will spend the rest of their lives in the shelter. The dogs are listed in alphabetical order, and their photos run in the same way. I would add that the descriptions say that they may hunt – but then again, what type of dog would not ‘hunt’ if a cat or deer ran past its nose?!

    SARA Cachorro Braille 190 Cachorro Braile: He has been handed into our shelter by his owner on the 29th of november 2008, when he was only 2 months old. He is a very friendly dog with everybody, but in the same time very shy. If you take him out for a walk you need to force him at the start, but after a while he relaxes and enjoys it and is always looking out for the person with him. He is not interested in hunting.
