Rosemary Macdonald tells about the latest rescues with the PEPA animal charity in Valencia.
‘This is Mamma about a year and a bit old the amazing wonderful girl that we rescued after we found her feeding three different sets of puppies only two of them hers, she is now ready to go to a new home she is without a doubt a wonderful dog she is well mannered loving eager to please and she gets on well with other dogs.
It’s obvious that the hunting season in Spain is now drawing to a close. Perreras overflowing with hunting dogs, podencos, galgos, pointers…as well as thousands of other beautiful dogs – young ones, old ones – confused as to why they have been dumped. Podencos are used in very large number for hunting particularly in Valencia and the high kill perrera is overflowing. Below are some of the poor souls there, including 2 taken by the hunter himself, so can be killed any day, and a couple born in 2005 obviously used for breeding.
4 Podencos rescued from Mairena with LASA and needing help with vet fees, food, and a very sick podenca bitch rescued off the street in Valencia. Mesquegossos association need help with vet fees for her.She has an agressive form of scab and anemia. She was tested on Mediteranean diseases and came back negative! She now has a long way ahead of treatments against the scab. She will go to a foster home, get good high protein food and rest. And Gala in Valencia too. Please help if you can.
Ruby is 3-4 years old. We believe she has-been wandering the streets for two years before she was coaxed to trust anyone. She is sleeping in someone’s garage at night and being fed but she is left to her own devices during the day. She has had a litter of puppies Which have now all been caught, we only found out When she was sterilized and they came out of hiding.
She has-been vaccinated, treated for heart worm and has blood tested clear of anything else. She was also very thin but is now gaining weight. She is very nervous around new people but is getting better and she appears to be fine with other dogs and ignore the cats.

ISIS is a podenquita that appeared abandoned in Montserrat. She had a wound on the neck as if she had been chained up all the time. She is about 8 months, honey-colored eyes, is very sweet and affectionate and gets along well with other dogs. The wound has healed with treatment each day and now she needs a family who will offer her a forever home. At such a young age, she has many years ahead of her; young enough to train, maybe even make an agility dog. She is in Valencia.
She will have a contract, commitment of sterilization and follow-up

(I hope someone can take him; his disabled leg looks like Polar’s leg, the disabled galgo puppy I have adopted from Pepis Refuge, Pedrera.)
50 galgos and podencos in horrendous conditions in Valencia. Read the story here.
Valencia pound. On death row. Two brothers, about six months old, precious and super friendly. They have honey-coloured eyes. One is a bit more suspicious than the other, are very funny because if you tell them things, the one on the right will wags its tail and get belly up and give kisses, because he wants to come, but as his brother is more cautious (I’m sure on the street he has survived thanks to him) he tells his brother not to come, and is constantly taking care of both.
Hopefully someone can help the two together because they are very close. One without the other could not survive on the street. They are identical twins. Will be tall, because they are still puppies, appear to be Ibizans.

I’m pleased to report that the ‘oldie’ podenca in Valencia perrera has been reserved hopefully, although she has a chip and that has to be dealt with. There are still podencos in Valencia perrera, including the lovely black bitch, two more podenca andaluz male and female, a small 7yr old female Karina and a new black and white one described as ‘young, very good and kind, very good-natured, very noble. Apparently he does not want to hunt. Prefers to cuddle ….’
