  • Podenca Sandy – vet fees of 1,400 euros – can you help Galgos del Sol?

    Sandy op Tina 250 08 2011 Last month I told you the lovely tale about a podenca bitch and a puppy she adopted. Both were rescued by Galgos del Sol and have been waiting and hoping for forever homes. We’ve just received news about Sandy, the bitch; she’s had an accident and vet fees for are are 1,400 euros! Galgos del Sol are a small association and shelter, so are appealing for help to pay this.

    Here’s what Tina says.

    ‘Poor Sandy, and still we don’t really understand what happened.

    Sandy had been found with Floyd, at first we thought Floyd was her baby but it’s possible she adopted him. Floyd was always quite rough around Sandy, in and out of her legs, constantly demanding her attention. He adored her, as she adored him.

    So could this be how Sandy mysteriously smashed her leg into several pieces? Could it have been rough play gone too far? There is no other explanation. The kennel is 110% safe with nothing to climb on to make her fall, she was fine at her last check just a few hours before finding her holding her leg so really the only theory we can give you is that somehow involving Floyd something went terribly wrong.

    Holding her leg in pain she was immediately rushed to the vet. On X-ray it was more than evident her leg was broken but a complicated break, like a jigsaw. A complicated break means a complicated operation and an expensive one at that. Sandy’s vets bill is over 1400 euros to date.

    We are pleading for donations to help us pay this bill. No matter how small, we are struggling, we really need help. PP tinasolera@hotmail.co.uk please ref SANDY.

    Thank you.

    And this is an amazing story about saving a miniature Podenco Andaluz in Miami. His forever Mom tells the story.

    Deven Soto podenco Buzz 250 08 2011 ‘Miami, Florida USA; a Mecca of unwanted pets. Miami Dade animal services intakes up to 200 pets per day, and with lines out the door at opening, people are dumping their pets and turning in strays…it can only lead to high euthanasia rate- about 150 per day.

  • Home required Urgently for Peter Podenco – please help CAS

    Peter Podenco head 190 08 2011 Here’s another stunning Podenco – named Peter. He’s currently in foster with Freda and Barry Young, who have to return to the UK in September for several months. They desperately want to find a forever home for him, as, if you read his story, going back to the refuge is the last place he needs to go.

    ‘He is a small podenco weighing about 12Kg. He is very timid but once he has relaxed he is full of fun and very affectionate. He is about 10 – 12 months old and is castrated and vaccinated.

    He was thrown over the fence in February at the CAS refuge where we work and when we let the other dogs out for their exercise, about 40 dogs surrounded him. Although we rescued him as quickly as possible, he was very traumatised. He stayed in the refuge for a few weeks but was bullied by the other dogs.
