  • Portuguese Podengo Florence – waiting for her forever home

    Dogs of Portugal have this absolutely gorgeous young Portuguese Podengo waiting for her forever home. You can see photos and videos of her on this weblink. Please someone, give her a chance.

    If you are thinking of adopting a podenco, please adopt from a shelter. There is a list of rehoming associations here. Don’t adopt from a perrera. Ignore the cries of ‘these dogs will be killed’ because what happens if they are saved – they end up in a shelter, if there is room for them, and then could wait years before getting a home.

    Remember, if you adopt a dog from a shelter, then that leaves space for another podenco – maybe abandoned in the campo, starving and injured on a roadside.

    Adopt from an association, not a perrera.

    ‘On the 7th of May I saw two Podengos running on the road, both skinny to the bone, one male and one female. Stopped and gave them water and food, and the female obviously had puppies recently.

    She was approachable, but the male was too scared, and ran off. It was already late afternoon, so I took the female to the vet, checked for a chip, and she belongs to a hunter nearby. But he didn’t bother reporting her as missing.

    It turned out she had Microfilaria, anaemia and Tic-fever, and I left her ate the vet that night. Next morning I picked her up, put her on the leash where I found her, and she took me directly to a hollow tree, where she had hidden 5 puppies.
