  • Never use an electric collar on a podenco – or any dog!

    There was uproar at the beginning of 2025 when a UK adopter of 2 podencos saw no problem in using electric collars on the dogs to control them!  Needless to say, the result was 2 terrified dogs back to a hellish life such as the one from which they had been rescued in Spain.

  • Podenco Friends – taking on the Dog Walk Challenge

    From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    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 ..

  • Podenca Scarlet looking for a forever home

    From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

    Let me introduce you to Scarlet, a beautiful 3-year-old Podenco lady.
    Scarlet was unfortunately dumped in a perrera… We don’t know her exact past—you can fill in the blanks yourself. What we do know: she’s a sociable, eager to learn, and cheerful girl who gets along well with other dogs and isn’t shy. Like every Podenco, Scarlet needs challenge and exercise. A daily walk, some mental stimulation, and preferably a canine companion at home—that’s what makes her so happy!

  • Hope for Podencos – Candy needs foster or adoption for 22nd November

    Candy

    Date of Birth: 1st September 2022
    Gender: Female
    Colour: White and Tan
    Height: 60cm (to the withers)/25kg
    Temperament: A little aloof at first but affectionate with people and playful with other dogs
    Cats: Not tested

    Candy is very playful but prefers to play with other podencos and sighthounds and can be intimidated by some of the bigger dogs in kennels, she can live with other sighthounds, smaller breeds or as a solo dog. She, like many podencos has a high prey drive so this will need some work when it comes to lead walking. She is friendly and loving with humans and very gentle, although can be a little aloof to begin with – she could live with older children. She wouldn’t enjoy city life, but could cope with a town or anything more rural.

    Candy has a condition that makes her prone to mouth ulcers so has to have her teeth brushed daily.

  • Hope for Podencos- Sonny needs a foster or adoption for 22nd November

    Sonny

    Date of Birth: 1st January 2023
    Gender: Male
    Size: 65cm (to the withers)/25kg
    Cats: Not tested

    Sonny is a large pod who is lovely and friendly and likes to please! He is clever (like most pods) and is food oriented which makes him a great training prospect. He plays nicely with the other dogs, but we think would also do fine in a home on his own where his humans can lavish him with affection and give him lots of time and attention. He’s a confident boy and great around people – as he’s quite large, we think he’d be better suited to slightly older children. Other than that he’s pretty versatile in terms of the type of home he’s looking for!

  • Podenco Antonio hoping for an active forever home

    Antonio Video

    Antonio is a beautiful 2 year old Podenco male with a gentle disposition.  Antonio was found on the streets of Fuerteventuras. Despite his past, he shows himself to be an extremely human, affectionate and friendly dog. Antonio is full of energy because of course he wants to seize the opportunity to show off on the chain when one finally comes by. The young male has a distinctive personality and needs both mental and physical exercise.  Even when dealing with other dogs Antonio shows himself social and uncomplicated – a real treasure who just wants to belong.  Now he only lacks one thing: a loving home where he can arrive and show what a wonderful companion he is.  Who will give Antonio a chance at a new life full of love and security?
