May 1st is the International Day of the Podenco, a day to raise awareness and bring to the worlds attention this much forgotten breed. They are not called “Los Grandes Olvidados for nothing and we call on the Podenco community around the world to support this day.

Podencos for adoption on this weblink.

Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com
This gorgeous young podenco is Mateo, with Protectora Scooby Medina and hoping for a forever home. Contact Scooby direct if you have room in your home and heart for him.
Animal lovers the summer months are approaching and it’s very important to protect dogs from the sandfly that causes Leishmaniosis. Every year, unfortunately, too many dogs adopted from Spain die abroad due to ignorance, poor information, wrong diagnosis, not the right treatment… So preventing infection with the Leishmania parasite is very important. Contrary to what is often said, Leishmaniosis cannot be cured, in other words your dog will have it for the rest of his or her life. Fortunately, with proper treatment and medication, the infection can be kept under control. Regular blood tests are also recommended, that way your four-legged friend can also grow old like other dogs. We protect dogs during and before the summer months with a collar combined with a pippet. A vaccination is also possible, it’s quite expensive and studies have currently not been able to show whether this vaccination gives sufficient security. (more…)
Hope for Podencos have several stunning podencos in foster in the UK who are hoping for their own forever home. They range in age from 6 years old to 1 year old and on this weblink you can read all about them and learn more about their characters.
A special one is Jimbo who is blind. We adopted a blind podenco and he was amazing at using his nose and ears to find his way around both the home and outside world. Never off lead outside of the garden or the dog park and used a ramp to get in the car to go for long walks. Click on the weblink to see more pix of him and more about his character.
If you can offer a forever home to one of these beauties, please contact Hope for Podencos direct. There is an adoption application form link on the article.
