  • SOS Podenco Rescue – if you can’t adopt, please sponsor a podenco

    SOS Podencos Ella 250 (Ella, living with her housecat) If you can’t adopt a podenco, please consider sponsoring one of these gorgeous podencos whilst they await their forever homes. Ulrika Schofield tells the story of SOS Podencorescue who would welcome your sponsorship of any of their podencos.

    Sos Podencorescue was founded in September 2013 and ever since the day María Casares and I got together we have worked tirelessly to save, heal, rehabilitate and re-home as many Pods as our finances and the space at the residency would allow.

    Luckily, we have a wonderful band of friends, followers and supporters who all went the extra mile to help us with donations, sponsorships, taking part in auctions and, above all, shared our Pods for all they were worth – we are forever grateful to you all!

  • Living with Leishmania – a podenco’s story

    Livia in the perrera head 250 2012 2Livia’s Journey through Leishmaniasis and what I learned along the way

    by Anne O’Connor

    Livia came from a perrera in Zaragoza, in the north of Spain. The photo here was of her there in February 2012. She looked like a small old little lady who had had a very hard life. She had what looked like a touch of mange and conjunctivitis, but nothing in the way of illness that I felt I couldn’t handle. Her face was tired, she was the little lonely dog in the corner. Looking at her I knew that I could give her the life she deserved.

    However Livia’s blood tests revealed that she was in fact suffering from Leishmaniasis.

  • Huesca, Zaragoa – can anyone help Chiqui

    Chiqui 8 2012 200I’ve received this plea from a volunteer about a podenco x who is in Huesca perrera. He was attacked by another dog and has an injured leg. Susanna desperately wants to get him out, but the refuges and fosters are full. Can anyone help her? You can write to her using Google translate into Spanish – that’s how she wrote to me in English!

    My name is Susan and I write from Spain to ask for your help. I apologize if I do not write well. I used the internet translator because I have only a little English.

    I have attached a photo of Chiqui. He is a x podenco in the perrera of Huesca (Zaragoza). He is 4 years old and is a very good dog, very friendly, cheerful and has a fantastic character.
