  • 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.

  • Portuguese Podengo Thomas – with Many Tears Rescue, Wales

    Many Tears Tom 190Here’s the story of Tom, a Portuguese Podengo x rescued and now with Many Tears Rescue in Wales. He’s looking for his forever family, along with another 9 Podencos – all in the UK in foster. June writes.

    ‘Learning to be loved:

    With all your help we have been able to save a number of dogs that were all going to die on the streets of Portugal.

    These dogs have been doing really well, some are now in permanent homes, whilst others are still awaiting their special day!

    om made his way to my family. Tom is a happy go lucky kind of a guy, but even with his chirpy character and live life to the full attitude you can still see that his soul
    bears scars of his former life! He truly believed that hands were a source of pain and something to be feared, he has been with me just under three weeks now and is just starting to understand that hands can make food and toys appear. If you moved too
    swiftly he would whimper believing a smack was coming his way!

  • Portuguese podengos looking for forever homes

    Portugal parents 250 6 2015Here is a lovely story from Dineka in Portugal, about a lucky Portuguese podengo family.

    ‘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.
