  • Podenca Amber – Lanzarote to UK – can you help?

    The Kennel Club Amber 250 2 2014Regular readers will know that I often mention the podencos waiting in the Canary Islands for forever homes, and that it is expensive to get them to the UK for rehoming. This is an appeal to ask if you can help towards getting this beautiful podenca to her forever home. Laura tells the story.

    ‘This is AMBER. She is an 18 month old female Podenco. She was found by holidaymakers and ended up in the dog pound. We went and met with them as they desperately wanted to take this beautiful girl home with them.

    Plans were made and finances organised but sadly in the last 3 weeks a lot has changed.

  • SARA Protectora, Lanzarote – saving dogs

    SARA Protectora clavel 170 9 2013The Canary Island podencos have a very hard life and here’s just one example. Meet Clavel, or Carnation in English. Here is what SARA say.

    Clavel is the name we have given to this little male podenco, which the owner brought to our premises on the order of Seprona, who went to the house to process the complaint. They ordered that the dog be taken to our kennels to be treated and of course to be found a new home. The owner knew that the eye had been bad for a long time and that as of course it hadn’t been treated, the eye just exploded, with all the suffering that entails.

    It was necessary to remove the eye and now he is recuperating from the operation.

    Thank you to Seprona for taking action for this little dog and bringing him to us so that he can be treated.

    If you would like to offer Clavel a loving forever home, contact SARA Protectora.
