  • Podenco Maneto Bruno – urgently needs a forever home

    Karen Dunn Bruno Maneto 190 1 2016This beautiful little boy is Bruno, a young Podenco Maneto found abandoned. He’s only 8-9 months old, certainly too young to be wandering the world on his own! The Maneto is a small type, similar to a dacshund in size, so suitable for smaller homes. He’s in southern Spain near Chiclana. Please contact Karen Dunn about him. In the last week they have taken in 6 abandoned dogs, they are overrun, so let’s find Bruno a forever home as soon as possible.

  • Malaga – Older is Gold – Podenco Andaluz waiting forever

    Podenco Annie 250 10 11 2015This is an appeal for forever homes for a couple of deserving podencos who have been waiting far too long for their families. They are both in Malaga, Spain, in the Old for Gold group on facebook. Please give them a chance. Anne explains

    ANNIE
    Annie was brought to us by the Guardia Civil. She was very emaciated and the soles of her feet were completely worn. Her feet really hurt her a lot. She had been reserved very soon after her arrival by someone who wanted to adopt her but then she turned out to be leishmaniasis positive and the people did not want her any more.

    Fortunately Annie does not have any symptoms. Annie is already an older lady who we
    think was born in 2004.It is time for her to find some real happiness after living a very rough life.

  • Podenca Andaluz Sunday – waiting for her forever home

    Sunday_03Has anyone room in their heart and home for this little sweetie?

    Hello, I’m writing to you about my little rescued podenco girl Sunday. She desperately needs a forever home. She was found on the street in May 2015 and has been staying with me since. I have taken care of all her vaccines and deparasiting + chipping, disease tests clean. Her sterilization is pending. She is currently with me in Fuengirola / Spain.

    I have been contacting every organisation and private person I know for months but so far nothing. Please let me know if you can help with her case somehow else. Best, Ani Roschier.

    THANK-YOU
    CONTACT gpar.refuge@gmail.com if anyone can help

    NEWS STORY FROM GPAR – Pluto the Podenco!

    Pluto has had a very bad time. He was a street dog in Rute for over a year and no one was able to get near enough to him to catch him. It was unfortunately an accident he had with a car, that enabled GPAR to rescue him, take him to the vet for treatment and then to the refuge where he has been since Feb this year.

    The accident caused injury to his right paw which is now sightly deformed but he can walk on it although he will need to have another operation and he is waiting to have this.

  • The Baranco podenco puppies – beating the bastard who tried to kill them!

    Baranco puppies road and barrier 250This is a road and a ravine in Spain. on 7th September Penelope Guest, who lives nearby, heard some faint cries. She tells the story.

    ‘Well, it’s started…the mass killing of podencos. Yesterday I could hear tiny helps, coming from the mountain behind me. John and I climbed up as far as we could, and could see a bag hup higher. John was able to clibe all the way up, and inside the bag were seven newly born podenco puppies. Unable to bring them back up, I called a friend to bring some ropes and a pulley and we were able to bring John and the half-dead pups up.

  • Princess Beatriz – from the streets of Valencia to idyllic Devon

    Beatriz Ellie 1 250 8 2014Always a pleasure to publish a happy rehoming story to illustrate what fabulous pets podencos make. Re-introducing Beatriz, Ellie updates her story.

    18 months to two years have passed since I wrote an article about Beatriz the podenco.
    Beryl kindly asked me for an update.

    Rescued off the street in Valencia on a business trip, I wrote about the perils…and joys of adopting a pod’ (which breed wise I knew next to nothing about at the time).

    Having been through the experience, (and gently encouraged by my bank manager to do so), J suggest people do not adopt dogs off the streets in Spain, or directly from a pound, but go to one of the many, and wonderful refuges and rescues, both in Spain and here in the UK. They have podencos and galgos and bodegueros and Spanish Water dogs and everything crossed and in between! They know the dogs, can match you up – lifestyle wise – and offer all the invaluable and essential help you will need when adopting from abroad, or in the UK.
