Podenca Coco lands on her feet in Alhaurin
Introducing Coco, a podenca andaluz, who knew just the right people to pick forever!
Emma tells the tale.‘We first moved to Spain at the start of April 2011 and were staying at a villa near Alhaurin el Grande. The first day we arrived my partner Richard was looking in a river close to the villa, when a small head popped out of a hole, to his surprise it was a little puppy! I couldn’t believe it when he walked in with her, she was so cute. We asked around and was told she was abandoned and nobody wanted her (which unfortunately is supposed to be common), I was shocked how anyone could just dump such a sweet puppy!

Reflections on the Bullas, Murcia, rescue on 9th March 2012 – 120 dogs
Regular readers will have been following the two large rescues carried out in Murcia in January and February 2012, namely at a gypsy camp with 74 dogs, and Bullas with 120 dogs. Vivienne Wharton lives near Cartegena, Murcia and has written about her experiences with the Bullas rescue on 9th March 2012.
The shame in Spain
I recently started my activities in a facebook group – Animal Welfare Support Murcia, whilst waiting for my Association, Actin, to be registered by the Town Hall. Actin – Animal Care Treatment International Network is not a rescue charity but an Association which will endeavor to make changes to the overwhelming situation of abandoned and neglected dogs, cats and other domestic animals in the region. We plan to do this through many activities including education and campaigns.

Malaga – Podenca Ana seeks your help
Do you remember the story of Ana, the podenca near Valencia, with a badly injured hind leg and who was so distrustful of humans that it took nearly 3 months to catch her. During that time she had some pups – who are in foster – and is now safe with 112carlotagalgos.
Ana’s problems were not over after she was caught. Vet Paco examined her injured leg and pronounced it too damaged to repair, then she caught an infection, and now she has had to have surgery to remove her leg. But not to worry, 3-legged amputees can run as fast as 4-legged if they want to! Charl tells Ana’s story so far.

Happy Endings Final Feliz – Fabi waits with them for a forever home
This is an appeal from Happy Endings Final Feliz in Chiclana near Cadiz. Last winter friends of mine spent a couple of months there helping the association with abandoned dogs and looking after them. They came back with two puppies which had been born to an abandoned podenca; now named Oliver and Nancy, the puppies are benefiting from being in a home environment, although Nancy continues to be nervous of strangers.
Fabi is another such young dog, whose mother was a Podenca. Karen takes up his story.
‘He’s been waiting for nearly a year for someone to take him into their heart. He’s around 3 years old and is a very sweet dog.
