  • Saving the Lanzarote Podencos – TheKennelKlub & Podenco Friends

    Lanzarote podencos 400 1 31 8 2016Lanzarote… the podenco is the primary dog for hunting on the island many are abandoned handed into perreras the majority dont make it.. Adoptions are far and few between due to the lack of flights overseas that will carry dogs. We want to make a difference, Laura Johnson of the Kennel Klub on Lanzarote and Beverley Farmer from Podenco Friends are working together to save these six podencos recently handed over by their owners or found abandoned … the clock is ticking please help us save Kesha, Safina, Hania, Nala, Leyla, and Bruno.

    Bruno and Safina are out of the perrera and now in private kennels where they have space to run a comfortable bed, people to play with and they can see daylight. Laura and the team on lanzarote was there to transport them to their new residence we will post a video shortly. Thank you to everyone that has donated this allowed us to get these two out and will be seen by the vet. It appears Bruno has some issues with his balance, too early to speculate what the problem may be. Hopefully have some answers in a few hours after he has seen our vet.

  • TheKennelKlub, Lanzarote, Canary Islands – saving Angelique

    Kennel Klub Tara 2 250‘You think you have seen it all and then a dog like this arrives and breaks your heart all over again. Thank you to the kind person who didn’t just drive on past her. She has sustained serious trauma to the head, the most serious injury of which is a fractured skull. The injuries have happened a few days ago and the wounds are infected and there were maggots in them. The vet has cleaned up the wounds and administered pain killers, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics and she does have an IV to keep her hydrated. Obviously she will loose both of her eyes. We will see how she gets on over night.

  • Podenca Honey on Lanzarote – deserves her forever family

    KennelKlub Honey 250 9 2014HONEY – why doesn’t this gorgeous girl have a home yet??? She is 1 year old and such a special lady! Heaps of fun, loves to run and play but also loves to cuddle and kiss. She is very intelligent and gets on great with everyone. She walks perfectly on the lead, so much so that even the tiny volunteers can take her out for a walk. A minimal amount of training and this girl will be an absolute dream!

    She’s in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, contact Laura at theKennelKlub. Let’s get Honey home.

  • 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.

  • Sun, sea and accommodation in Lanzarote, Canary Islands

    The Kennel Club Lanzarote perrera Red 250Laura writes from The Kennel Klub, Lanzarote, Canary Islands.

    ‘Lanzarote is a small island and we have a very limited area in which to re-home dogs. Unfortunately that does not mean of course that dogs are not abandoned. We are a legally registered association and in the nearly 18 months we have been running we have re-homed 107 dogs.

    We don’t have a refuge and save many dogs from the perrera, which means they go into kennels before going to foster homes or lucky enough to be adopted.

  • SARA Lanzarote – saving the podencos in the Canary Islands

    SARA Janubio 170 12 2013To animals, every day is the same, there are no fete days, bank holidays, Easter, Christmas. Their main concern is a warm bed, food and fresh water, and caring hands. Many people will have whizzed off to the Canary Islands for Christmas in the sun – spare a thought for all the volunteers working to look after all the abandoned and rescued dogs – specially the podencos – most of whom will spend their lives in a refuge unless they are adopted abroad.

    Sara Protectora on Lanzarote has over 150 dogs and 70 cats. Read more about their work here – click on the Union Jack for the english pages. More on their work here and a photo album

  • 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.

  • SARA Lanzarote podencos in the UK for rehoming

    SARA Chloe 170 10 2012Three fabulous hounds from SARA Protectora on Lanzarote, Canary Islands. Now in the UK for rehoming.

    Hello my name is Chloe and I am a 2 year old bitch Podenco Canario with probably something else crossed in although I have been told that this is a good thing as it makes me easier to look after! I came to England from Lanzarote early in 2012 and immediately went into a new foster home, who have shown me how to be a clean girl in the house and make myself attractive to humans! This bit wasn’t difficult as I am very pretty and have a really nice way about me.
