  • Podencos on death row in Mairena perrera, Sevilla

    Mairena perrera 1 250Many years ago I wrote about the horrendous conditions for the dogs in Mairena perrera, near Seville. For a while the volunteers were refused access because of the photos which were published. volunteers now have access to the dogs again.

    Maria says ‘There are currently 12 podencos at Mairena’s dog pound. This is one of the worst dog pounds in Spain. The dogs are not fed properly, they are sick and nobody cares, the dogs are not euthanasied properly (they don’t use the normal “stuff” and the dog takes forever to die), “galgueros” (hunters) are VIP visitors and can adopt all the dogs they want… Please, help them.’

  • Podenco Andaluz Solo – seeking his forever home and family

    Bev Solo 1 250 7 2013Introducing handsome podenco Solo, who is with Bev Farmer. He’s desperate for a family and a loving home to call his own for the rest of his life. Can you find a place for him? Bev Farmer describes his character.

    ‘This is Solo he has been at Pepis Refuge since he first wandered into their gates as a puppy back in 2008.

    For some reason no one has shown any interest in him, it’s such a shame that he has not had a family of his own for 5 years.

    To help out Solo has come to us and he is a super Podenco very friendly loves to play with the other dogs very quick to learn and wants to please. He is a really affectionate dog and not a loner and at night time he sits on Warre’sn lap while Warren’s drinking a beer or two.

    I think he will be brilliant at agility and we will start with some training with him. He has his passport up to date vaccinations, blood tested and negative and is castrated. Thank you to Beryl who sponsored Solo and organised for him to travel to us.

    To adopt Solo please email me; podencofriends@hotmail.co.uk‘

  • A journey into the heart of hell

    This is not about a podenco, but it could very well be. It is about Seville perrera and a little innocent soul in there, on death row, due to die. Levriers sans Frontieres works with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert to save these dogs. This is her story.

  • Blind podencos in Seville – latest update – looking for forever homes

    Do you remember the appeal by Macu for help to pay for operations to restore the sight in the eyes of two podencos she had rescued from a galguero camp? Thanks to help from many people, the two dogs have both been operated on and here you can see a video of them enjoying life. Remember Atila, the young 2-year-old, had to hold his head at a peculiar angle to try and see – now he can look forward to a full life seeing everything! Both podencos are now looking for forever homes. If you would like to apply, please contact Carmina (English speaker) or Macu.

  • 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.

  • Seville podencos need help to save their sight

    Macu pod 1 250 3 2013An appeal from Macu in Seville, for two podencos with eye problems, rescued from the gypsy settlement. She would dearly like to make a denuncia against these people but dare not for fear of reprisals. Here’s what she says.

    ‘These two podencos have sight problems. One is male aged 3 years weighing 11 kilos and one female.

    The male is virtually blind and the vet has recommened he be taken to an ophthalmologist, as he believes the sight could possibly be restored. His neck hurts as he extends it to adapt to see.
