  • Urgent – 3 pod pups need foster homes and podenca Blanca needs a very special forever home

    Roz Lewis Blanca 4 2013Urgent appeal from Rosemary, who lives in Valencia region and rescued Podenca Ana a couple of years ago.

    ‘I rescued a beautiful white Podenco and have named her Blanca. I had been feeding her for a long time, then she got sick and I managed to catch her. She was very sick, she had very bad anemia, the vet originally said she was 3-4 years old, so I went of and found her a fantastic home to go to and the lady waited and waited for her to get better.

    Last week the head vet told me that although Blanca was much better she could never be vaccinated as her immune system is just not working well and that she thinks she is nearer nine years old. Blanca also needs to be on steroids now for the rest of her life.

    This meant her home fell through and now I am looking to find somewhere for her to spend the rest of her days. I cannot begin to describe how loving this girl is and how easy she is to look after.

  • Albalat Animal, Ribera, Valencia – injured podenco – please help

    Albalat Animals pod 250 3 2013This podenco has been named Leo by Albalat Animal Ribera in Valencia province. It took them a month to catch him. As you can see, he has a bad wound to his near hind leg. He is not chipped. He has been examined by a vet who will do tests for a diagnosis as to what work can be done to save his leg, rather than amputate. Albalat Animal are asking for a foster home for him as he needs a lot of attention, care and rest and is on 12-hourly medication.

    Albalat Animal have no shelter, so they desperately need somewhere for this boy to go, and financial help to cover veterinary expenses. So far they have paid out €109.12 and that is just the beginning. Tomorrow we return to do x-rays, in principle 2 to 35.32 euros each. Contact email and Paypal a/c albalatanimal@gmail.com

  • Two blind podencos in Seville – please donate to their operations

    Macu Atila-4 250I recently reported about two podencos in Seville which Macu had rescued from Palmete, a settlement of galgueros and gitanos from where she saves many hounds. Both the podencos had eye problems. The younger one has been named Atila, just two years old, in good health apart from not being able to see. His problem is that there are waterfalls and tumours in each eye, and if enough money can be raised, the opthamologist can restore Atila’s sight 100%. At the moment, the poor dog spends a lot of time bumping into things or just not moving about atall. The amount needed – 1,600 euros to include the operation and follow-up tests. If Atila does not have the operation, he will be blind for life.
