  • Male Portuguese Podengos looking for forever homes

    Jackie Dias Dick 400
    A couple of days ago I published some beautiful female Portuguese Podengos looking for forever homes. These are the male Portuguese podengos at the same shelter, run by friends of Jackie Dias, 30 minutes from Porto. The males are neutered and completing their vaccination programmes. They will eventually be microchipped and get an EU Pet Passport.

    Information for adoptees outside of Portugal on how the best way they can ship a dog to a foreign country can be given.

    Introducing DICK – (pic above) Male Podengo and very handsome – a true podengo with the bat-like ears! He also has a great temperament. He suffered a lot at the hands of hunters and eventually it is thought that after losing his scent on a hunt he got lost and was found hungry and thirsty. He is looking for a forever home.

  • Portugal – podenca puppies saved from a cruel death

    Portugal Lira 2 250 4 5 2013These two tiny podencas were found yesterday by a farmer. They were inside a rubbish bag, tied up, left in a field to die. Taken into the care of Teresa Sousa and her team, they have been to the vet and have been wormed. Now called Pipa and Lira. Teresa would be grateful to anyone who could sponsor their vaccinations and to apply to adopt one. Please paypal adoptions to portugaldogrescue@gmail.com (sorry the pix aren’t very good quality)

    Regarding Esperança, the municipal vet, who is friends with Teresa, has issued Esperanca’s owner a fine (that’s the most he can do, as it was a first offence, at least legally), and the man is now appealing, claiming he is too poor and cannot afford the fine. Video Esperanca & babies, 7 in all.
