  • Desperate help needed for a podenco

    Kate pod 2a 170A friend of mine has just rescued a podenco in terrible condition…two boys helped her catch him. She is in an area with a lot of hunters and gitanos. She suffers from ill health and has not the means to pay for the vet treatment he needs. So we desperately need an association to take him on. She is in southern Spain. Here’s what she says about him.

    1/12/2014 – ‘Walking through the square I saw a very, very thin podenco with one front leg held up and dangling, searching under and around the bins. I asked two little boys to watch him, rushed into the shop which luckily is on the square, grabbed a packet of frankfurters for 2€ and rushed out again. After he’d eaten several, he hopped off, but we followed him and one of the little boys (Gitanos – lots here and not crueller to animals than anyone else) managed to go up to him and gently stroke his head and hold him, while I tied my scarf round his neck.

  • Arca Sevilla and Julio – the tale of a little podenco puppy

    Arca Sevilla Julio01 190 8 2013This is the tale of a little podenco puppy called Julio, because he was found injured by the roadside in Seville in July 2013, saved by Arca Sevilla.

    The story of Julio is like many other hunting dogs. When not used for hunting, are not responsive to the expectations of the hunter, they are abandoned to their fate. And their fate is often very poor. So Julio, a young podenquito, just a puppy, probably not starting out as a hunter like his owner wanted, he was alone and abandoned. Looking for life as he could, through fear, hunger and thirst, more thin, more damaged, more suspicious of all … one day, do not know when or how but he suffered an accident and his front leg was seriously damaged. Then came the pain and infection. In these conditions her would soon have died, anonymously, like many others before him.

  • Podenca Andaluz Bebe – rescued injured from a Seville motorway, safe in France

    Bebe 250 2012 001Podenca Andaluz come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. My podenca Bebe is a miniature – weighing in at a mere 6 kilos aged 10 years. She was rescued injured and traumatized from a Seville motorway over 4 years ago by my friend Marisa, a volunteer with El Refugio Escuela. My vet operated on her leg and saved it and she is now the fastest little dynamite on 4 legs! The only time we see a handicap with her leg is when she goes down stairs – she carries her left leg. You can see the scars on her hind quarters where the hair has never grown back. Adorable little dog! Here on video at lunchtime. Scrounging, not me! Nudging your leg to remind you I’m here – not me!

  • Two blind podencos in Seville – please donate to their operations

    Macu Atila-4 250I recently reported about two podencos in Seville which Macu had rescued from Palmete, a settlement of galgueros and gitanos from where she saves many hounds. Both the podencos had eye problems. The younger one has been named Atila, just two years old, in good health apart from not being able to see. His problem is that there are waterfalls and tumours in each eye, and if enough money can be raised, the opthamologist can restore Atila’s sight 100%. At the moment, the poor dog spends a lot of time bumping into things or just not moving about atall. The amount needed – 1,600 euros to include the operation and follow-up tests. If Atila does not have the operation, he will be blind for life.

    Urgent appeal from Mercedes in Seville.

    ‘Hello. I need urgent help! I found this puppy podenco at the door of my work and it was terrified.
