This beautiful little boy is Bruno, a young Podenco Maneto found abandoned. He’s only 8-9 months old, certainly too young to be wandering the world on his own! The Maneto is a small type, similar to a dacshund in size, so suitable for smaller homes. He’s in southern Spain near Chiclana. Please contact Karen Dunn about him. In the last week they have taken in 6 abandoned dogs, they are overrun, so let’s find Bruno a forever home as soon as possible.

Podenco Noel – the hung hound of Cadiz
The hung hound
The title could also be: cruelty goes on and on and on…From Cadiz Scooby took this Podenco. He had just been found with the rope still round his neck. It is a miracle how he did survive with this deep wound at all but he did. He has been treated by the vet, and he is already living in Fermin´s pack with a big bandage around his
neck. He’s been named Noel.He has been promised a home where he will find love and protection forever. Could it be with you??

Living the dream in Spain?
Life in Spain and the Canary Islands is hell for the majority of podencos. Here’s a heart-rending situation some young Spanish volunteers have discovered and they desperately want help to help the dogs…chiefly to get them into shelters (which are mostly full to bursting) and fund some operations. Alejandra tells the story.
‘I’m writing you from Sagunto, a small town on the outskirts of Valencia, desperately asking for your help due to the situation we are living.
About a month ago some girls and I found a group of hounds and hound crossings living in a extreme situation,
We found right away around 25 adult dogs between 6 months and 2 years old. 3 of them had recently given birth, with a total of 18 puppies only a week old.

The Story of Izzy – happy ending for a failed podenco huntress
Michelle tells the story of how she came to offer a forever home to podenca Izzy.
‘It started with a photo. Not a great nor clear photo, but poignant and heart-breakingnever the less. It was of a tiny female Andalusian hound chained to a wall in a filthy Spanish cellar. No windows, no bed, just damp concrete to sleep on and a rusty dirt encrusted water bowl that was bigger than the dog.
The reason – she wasn’t good at hunting, and like many Spanish hounds in her position, she was thus regarded as trash. The luckier ones are rescued, but many are abandoned, hanged, burned alive, thrown down wells, or stabbed to death. She needed someone to offer her a home, otherwise she would most likely have suffered one of these fates.

Help needed for 2 young podencas in Jaen
This is an appeal from Fabienne Thys for help with two young podencas…they need foster and forever homes. Is there anyone who can help. These are their details.Lola is living in the courtyard of a member of our association. We think she was pregnant in the summer but she disappeared before having her puppies. She reappeared last month (October) and alone.
Rubi is literally on the streets. She is being fed by some people but is very scared and hard to be approached. We need help to catch her and for somewhere for her to go in foster to help her adjust to life in a home, as she is in danger on the streets, both from an accident or getting pregnant again. A kennel will be no place for her.
Both podencas are in Jaen, Southern Spain and contact info is the following:

Neglect in Navarre – help Podenca Bat
And another poor podenco suffering from the neglect and abuse of the bastard hunters – or in this case also a ‘rescuer’. Here’s her story. I’m checking with the association CPA who have her, that it is Olite in Navarra, northern Spain, as I am not aware it is an area where hunters use podencos. (google translation)
‘Hello. This week we picked up this podenquita of the town of Olite. In spite of living on a daily basis with the neglect and on many occasions with the mistreatment, few times we have dog arrive in this state. It was about to die of starvation. Her condition is delicate, doesn’t eat because it is so weak that it is not capable of doing so. Her temperature was extremely low and even though she kept drinking, it’s so dehydrated that it is not enough.

TheKennelKlub, Lanzarote, Canary Islands – saving Angelique
‘You think you have seen it all and then a dog like this arrives and breaks your heart all over again. Thank you to the kind person who didn’t just drive on past her. She has sustained serious trauma to the head, the most serious injury of which is a fractured skull. The injuries have happened a few days ago and the wounds are infected and there were maggots in them. The vet has cleaned up the wounds and administered pain killers, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics and she does have an IV to keep her hydrated. Obviously she will loose both of her eyes. We will see how she gets on over night.

Galgos 112 – saving Ibizan podenco Sucre
It’s a wonder this poor podenco still had the strength to stand. Luckily he is now with Galgos 112 and receiving veterinary care to heal his body and soul. Here’s what Galgos 112 say about him.
‘Sucre is exhausted and weak. His condition is lousy, severe malnutrition and ulcers on all the pressure points on his bones. We are waiting for his blood analysis bu his anaemia is evident. He’s also dehydrated. He still has the strength to move around and respondes to each caress and gesture of love. He has suffered a lot in his young life.

Introducing George – a ‘child’ of the olive groves
The introductory story to George was included in an email from Yvonne Warwick. So I asked her to write the full story of how he came to work his way into her heart and home.
The original message. This is my beautiful George! He arrived on our land at around 8 months old. We’d seen him in the village and on our land in the mountains with his parents and two sisters. We believe that the DaddyDog told him to go off
and seek his fortune when he got to 6 months. He came to us when we were picking our olives…skinny and starving with a wound on his nose.We thought long (OK, 3 days!) about what to do…in the meantime he made up his mind that he was staying. Very brave of him to come so close to us….it was meant to be! He is 3 and a bit now and a fantastic dog. Luckily he wasn’t taken as a pup by a hunter. His feral upbringing has meant he has lovely manners and is the sweetest dog ever, though his recall skills could do with improvement!
