Yet another sad example of the horrors endured by Spain’s hunting dogs because there is no law to protect them.
The 6 month old puppies arrived from Alentejo this week. They were brought to Tiny Shelter by the very kind Municipal vet of Alentejo, herself. They are lovely dogs and clearly so excited to be in a new place …away from the CHAOTIC AWFUL PLACE where they lived…
All have small cuts and sores, proof that they had to fight for food , but apart from that, they are lovely ,happy, GRATEFUL puppies, excitedly smelling and investigating everything. He immediately vaccinated them , gave them very good puppy food and toys. These are some of the lucky ones, already removed … close to 20 have been removed…there are 50 left! (more…)

22 Podencos seized in Moaña in a joint operation of the #Seprona Prote Animais Morrazo and the Asociación de rescate animal Cadeliños
Locked up, caged, squeezed, with mange, sick, some chained, dead puppies….
The owner of the animals had them for hunting and sale, note in the Protectorate that he took in the 22 animals, 13 with a chip and 9 without identification, in the district shelter they have in Broullón.
And now what? …. (more…)

22nd March is World Podenco Day.
Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.
oday, March 22nd, marks World Podenco Day in Spain!
On this day we pay tribute to a breed that embodies nobility and pride, yet often endures a harsh reality in Spain. Many Podencos are subjected to unimaginable conditions, deprived of the respect they rightfully deserve.
Tragically, countless Podencos spend their lives confined in dark buildings, underground caves, or chained to walls, with nothing but rancid water to drink. They’re expected to run tirelessly until exhaustion takes its toll, only to be discarded when they’re no longer deemed useful.
Some brave the streets, while others find themselves in overcrowded shelters with slim chances of adoption. (more…)
