  • Podencos in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Solo shade 1 250As usual, my recent visit to Spain was full of action and, even better, rescued dogs! You can read about my visit to ACTIN on this link. From there I spent a couple of days with Bev and Warren and their 26 podencos at the finca they recently moved to. Most of the podencos are waiting for their forever homes, including Solo and Carina. Little puppy Sky and his best buddy Rembrandt already have adoptions arranged, as does Dave and little Maneto Lily. Please contact Bev if you would like more information on her podencos. She will shortly have a website where you can see them all.

    Enjoy this video of some of the podencos at play.

  • Pig or Podenco? More barbarity from the Spanish hunters or genetic mutation?

    Bella nose 8 2012The barbarity of some Spanish hunters defies belief at times. This beautiful young podenca is a victim of one type of inexplicable cruelty – cutting the nose to make the podenca look like a pig! I’ve come across this before, twice we have brought podencos out of Spain who have suffered this barbarity. Poor Joy had problems drinking, as water tended to go up his nostrils – what was left of them. And his trauma….with a lot of love and patience, especially on the part of his foster family, over many months he became a very affectionate little chap.

    This is Bella, and she urgently needs a foster home, as she is currently in a locked garage.
