Valencia perrera, on death row. CESE (relinquished by owner), 11 years old Podenca, born in 2002, dumped by a hunter because she gets tired when hunting, she would not go in the cage without him leading her in. She is in complete shock, does not even know what a blanket is when one was given. Very sweet. Costs involved to save her.

Earlier in the year I appealed for help to save an injured podenca in Valencia perrera. She was saved and is now in foster care, receiving veterinary treatment for her nasty wounds. She has been named Valentina and is in the care of Protectora des Animales Mes Que Gossos. The vet bills for her treatment have mounted up and donations are desperately needed to pay for these. I understand she has been chipped and vaccinated. Especially she really needs a forever home. If you can help, please contact Dominique, or Paypal the association at mesquegossos@hotmail.es and specify ‘donacion Valentina’. Pic below of her original injury and how it is healing, although there is still a long way to go.

I’m now back home at my main computer and can post the photos of the 8 podencos currently in the perrera at Valencia. This little lady is not yet a year old! All females, the only male was saved a couple of weeks ago and also a white female. The black one is very unusual but sadly on CESE which is fast track to killing – on the instructions of the owner! All are very young, a couple are under a year old! Details of costs needed to save them, and also to pay kennel fees.

Many of you helped contribute towards saving some other podencos which are now all in kennels. Funds are needed to pay for the kennels and pet passports. Contact Dominique and Anke if you want to contribute.
Urgent appeal from Rosemary, who lives in Valencia region and rescued Podenca Ana a couple of years ago.
‘I rescued a beautiful white Podenco and have named her Blanca. I had been feeding her for a long time, then she got sick and I managed to catch her. She was very sick, she had very bad anemia, the vet originally said she was 3-4 years old, so I went of and found her a fantastic home to go to and the lady waited and waited for her to get better.
Last week the head vet told me that although Blanca was much better she could never be vaccinated as her immune system is just not working well and that she thinks she is nearer nine years old. Blanca also needs to be on steroids now for the rest of her life.
This meant her home fell through and now I am looking to find somewhere for her to spend the rest of her days. I cannot begin to describe how loving this girl is and how easy she is to look after.
This 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
I’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all your marvellous people who have donated to save podencos from Hellin and Valencia perrera. Anke and Dominique do amazing work and I’m now happy to show you all the podencos you have helped them save and place in a residencia. The appeal now is for donations to pay the kennel fees until, most importantly, these beauties can be adopted. Here is a list of the dogs, who have now all been named. Please send donations and adoption requests to Anke, Paypal bracobuddha@hotmail.com Applications to adopt in Spain go to Dominique and for anyone out of Spain, to Anke. This link gives the costs involved.
Here’s Anke’s list of podencos SAVED! (photos in name order below)
Desperately needs saving – barely able to stand up, it is so starved. Very young. In Valencia perrera. Please help, usual rules apply. For rescue by a Spanish association, contact Dominique, for donations to save and place in kennels for onward foster and adoption outside Spain, contact Anke. Do not contact the perrera direct. Maybe two or three friends could join together to save and sponsor it. You marvellous people have already saved many.
Costs involved in saving this dog.
Do you remember the very pregnant podenca? Thanks to donations, Anke and Dominique were able to save her and she is now in foster and sponsored by a French association AIRE. She had 9 puppies who are all doing well and are also in foster. It is believed they are pure podenco.
Merlin & Faith came from Valencia Perrera, where Anke and her team are now helping. This was before they became involved and it was a nighmare trying to get the podencos out. Here’s their story from a volunteer.
It seems to be a reccurring theme for Little Pod Association, this is the second family rescued by them recently and both have since had large litters of puppies. Yet again more Podencos in a Perrera, the clock ticking down before they would be euthanaized.
These 3 females, 2 of which are podencos, arrived that way in the perrera to be dumped by owner. All affectionate, all CESE which means they are fast track to killing, the perrera does not have to hold them for 20 days because the owner has signed them over to be killed.
A third podenca dumped there at the same time, look at the injury to her, plus her teats – she’s obviously had lots of babies…apparently the injury has been treated. But then the bastard took her to be murdered!
