  • Animal Aid Foundation shelter, Valencia – help desperately needed

    A desperately tragic situation – if you can help Femke in anyway, please do. She writes –

    ‘You have probably heard about the Animal Aid Foundation (AAF) in Valencia, which for personal circumstances has to close its doors after rescuing animals from all over Spain for 20 years. I am one of the volunteers helping to rehome the dogs. There are some Podencos left, would you be able to help with finding homes for them? Thanking in advance.

    We are also looking for people who are driving back to the UK happy to take a dog or two, for adoption families we find in the UK, so if you hear of anyone…

    Please contact Femke through the website.

  • Grace and Dolly – Podencas in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Sherlie Bradley Grace 250 10 2014I had the pleasure of visiting Sherlie Bradley and all her gorgeous foster dogs in Tallante, Murcia, Spain- what a happy bunch. At the moment she has two lovely podencos desperately wanting their forever homes. Here’s their details.

    Meet Grace, she was found by my Spanish neighbour while he was out hunting and I really thought he was going to keep her for hunting. Instead he put her on a chain but she kept getting tangled round a tree and table. I went round 4 times to untangle her, (he doesn’t live there). Finally I told him something needed to be done as she was tangling in the tree etc and he said did I want her, didn’t need asking twice…

  • Albalat Animal, Ribera, Valencia – injured podenco – please help

    Albalat Animals pod 250 3 2013This podenco has been named Leo by Albalat Animal Ribera in Valencia province. It took them a month to catch him. As you can see, he has a bad wound to his near hind leg. He is not chipped. He has been examined by a vet who will do tests for a diagnosis as to what work can be done to save his leg, rather than amputate. Albalat Animal are asking for a foster home for him as he needs a lot of attention, care and rest and is on 12-hourly medication.

    Albalat Animal have no shelter, so they desperately need somewhere for this boy to go, and financial help to cover veterinary expenses. So far they have paid out €109.12 and that is just the beginning. Tomorrow we return to do x-rays, in principle 2 to 35.32 euros each. Contact email and Paypal a/c albalatanimal@gmail.com

  • Valencia killing station – Please give these podencos the Gift of Life for Christmas

    Valencia perrera podencos 250 12 2012Podencos in Valencia killing station, please is there an association which can save them?

    Two podencos – the little podenca puppy (the taller brown) is still inside but no one asks for her. She is loving and very curious, super funny with hazel eyes, if you look you see the pain that she feels.

    The petite podenquita tan, is female, six years old, the owner does not want it, too old to hunt. She is a bit timid, but she’s a lovely dog, loving and kind. Hopefully someone will notice her.

    (Pic below) The Galgo has left but the smooth Ibizan is still there. She is young, super affectionate, gentle and playful, about 8 months old.
