  • Podenco Pepe – from streets of Valencia to the UK – appealing for a home

    Ciara Pepe sleeping 250This is the heart-wrenching appeal I received this morning.

    My name is Ciara. I am writing to enquire about the possibility of rehoming my Podenco, Pepe, through your website.

    I carried out an internship in Valencia last year, and, long story short, returned to Scotland six months later having rescued a Podenco puppy from the streets, nursed him back to health and brought him home with me. Since then, we have been blissfully happy together, and he’s like my baby. But the bad news is that my circumstances have recently changed. I’m about to graduate from university and have been offered a job in Belfast, which is full-time, and in that instance I will be unable to continue looking after him. It’s not a situation in which to keep a young podenco.

  • Real life story from Tenerife, Canary Islands –

    Murdered podenca Guardia Civil 250 5 2014Tenerife, Canary Islands. A 77 year old man has been arrested because he murdered his pregnant podenca who was due shortly to give birth!

    A neighbour reported hearing him kill the dog by beating it to death so agents from the Garachico nature protection service (Seprona) went to the place of the complaint. They found the podenca buried and a vet certified that death was because the animal had received repeated blows in the cranial area, as well as that the hound was about to give birth.

    And the following story from Jane Brian of Pepis Refuge, Pedrera, Seville.
