  • Saved from the streets of Seville – Podenca Andaluz needs help

    Macu podenca May 1 250 2012This lovely young Podenca Andaluz, less than a year old, was rescued from the streets of Seville by Macu, with a rope around her neck, and a scalibor collar on, which she had obviously had to wear since a small puppy because it was infected with bugs etc. Naturally she is very fearful of humans, and is in a kennels, where the staff sadly don’t have time to rehabilitate her.

    She currently has a liver problem from her condition and therefore needs a special diet, plus needing vaccinations etc.

    Macu is desperate to find a foster home for her and also desperately needs funds to pay for the kennels, food, medication, preparing her EU vaccination. macu19782010@hotmail.com Paypal donations to macu19782010@hotmail.com

  • Podenco Julian – from Spain to America forever

    Julian GRIN 190 5 2012Another happy ending for a deserving podenco. Bon Voyage Julian.

    ‘This little fellow is Julian the Podenco. Last October a Canadian lady named Robin Waldman visited two shelters in Spain. One was suggested by GRIN, near Sevilla, called FBM (Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert). Robin volunteered there and soon met a galgo named Iker that she decided would come back home with her in the Spring.

    In the meantime she also met a Podenco named Julian who also won her heart. He had been waiting for so long, no one asked for him.

  • Seville podenca – appeal for help with vet fees

    Macu podenca 1 250 4 2012This is another plea for help from Macu in Seville, who rescues podencos from a gypsy settlement – Chaplin, Tecla, and several others featured on Podenco Post.

    ‘Please, I need your help. I rescued this dog from Seville´s gigpsy settlement. I had to do it because she was in the street but a man said that it was his but didn´t give her any care. I´ve rescued her today but my residence is closed the whole week and I work the whole day. Because of this I´ve found a boy who works taking care of dogs in his house and takes them to the vet and everything. He has taken the dog to the vet and you can read the analiysis below.

  • From Seville to England – Podenco Campanero Chaplin finds paradise

    Chaplin 1In October 2011 I received an appeal from Macu in Seville. She works hard to rescue mainly podencos from a gypsy enclave. One of the podencos was a big hair boy which she called Chaplin, a Podenco Campanero, the type used for hunting boar. I posted an appeal for someone to take Chaplin into their hearts and he was spotted by a PP reader, Norma, in Scotland. She is a volunteer with SOS Animals and had enlisted their agreement to Chaplin being taken under their wing.

    Macu doesn’t speak English so initially Norma and I had a problem communicating with Macu, whereupon I enlisted the help of my friend Marisa, who acted as translator and mediator. A foster home was found for Chaplin and SOS Animals and Macu began the pocess of preparing him for entry into the UK. In February 2012 he travelled from Spain to the UK with Ruso, another podenco from Macu.
