  • Podenco Footprints on Lanzarote

    Huella Lanzarote logo 400Regular readers will know that I have been appealing for help for the Canary Island podencos since I first created my blogs back in 2007. A prohibitive factor in the adoption of Podenco Canarios is the cost of flights to mainland Europe for forever homes. In the past three or four years there has been an explosion of publicity for these fabulous hounds, largely due to facebook pages. I’d like to introduce another Lanzarote group who are helping hounds in the Teguise area. Huella y Huella – footprints.

    ‘Huella a Huella is a group which raises awareness, sensitization and well-being in general to the animals in Lanzarote from schools to those working in the field of animal protection and promotion of awareness-raising actions.

    So we want to create a set of which all form part, institutions, associations and citizens, and together, bring this great project to term.

    Recently we came across this article on the SARA website www.saraprotectora.org.
    I have transferred the article verbatim as it adds to the poignancy.
