  • Animales Rioja – podencos desperately needing foster and forever homes

    Rioja%20Pele%20and%20Mele%20Manetos%20250Further to the appeal from Animales Rioja for donations to pay for kennel fees now they have had to move their 70 dogs into kennels, below are the lovely podencos which they rescued from the perrera. Pilar says ‘they were rescued by our organization many months ago, but we have not enough money to feed them or pay vet fees because we have no association helping us – our only income is adoption money. That’s why we need the dogs to find families and for Podencos it is so difficult!

    These two above are Pele and Mele, brothers, Podenco Maneto – which is a small type, dachshund size and shape. Lugo (1st below) is also a Podenco Maneto. Order below is Lugo, Eyes, Tita, Paula, Risi and Toby – all young dogs with a long life ahead of them.

    To donate, details here. To apply to adopt a dog, contact Pilar. Preferably associations or people who have already adopted from an association.

  • Animales Rioja refuge flooded out, please donate to pay for dogs to go in kennels

    Animales Rioja land is now full of water because of the non stop raining. Bea and the rest of the volunteers are taking the dogs to put safe, but they need donations to place them in residences. They have over 70 dogs – kennels are about 3 euros/night/dog – please help. To find out more, Pilar speaks English internationalanimalesrioja@gmail.com

    They save dogs from the perrera and have lots of podencos, whose details I will be posting shortly.

  • SARA Protectora, Lanzarote, Canary Islands – please adopt an Island podenco – give them a chance

    SARA_Cafeina_190I have highlighted often the problem for podencos on the Spanish Islands…Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Ibiza, Mallorca. People go on holiday to these places and don’t see the hell of life for the dogs and cats (mainly) on the islands, where the only hope of a forever life is to be adopted abroad – Europe, Scandinavia, UK.

    SARA Protectora on Lanzarote have dozens of deserving podencos… Rick and Lesley Beauchamp take a few to the UK for rehoming, a few go to Germany and the Czech Republic. BUT the cost of flights can be prohibitive and also it needs one person for every 2 dogs on a flight.

    Here are a few of the dozens in the refuge on Lanzarote…over 60 Podenco Caqnario, different from the Podenco Ibicenco in appearance but not in character – if you can’t adopt one, please go along to the shelter and walk a dog, support the volunteers, anything to help them keep going.

  • Izzy Wizzy Isabella – Little podenca looking for her forever family

    Bev Isabella head 1250 2013Here is Isabella, living at home with Bev Farmer and Warren. Bev says, ‘she wasn’t coping staying in the kennels. She is much brighter and content and we call her Iizzy Wizzy now she is so full of life and fun!

    Isabella is one of our older girls at 6/7 years old. She has a large tattoo in her ear, an older form of identification than a microchip, showing that she belonged to a hunter with whom she spent her early years, and was then a long time in a shelter.

  • Urgent – 3 x podencos in Madrid perrera

    Madrid pod x Snif 250These are Snif, Nemo and Mina, three podencos in a perrera in Madrid. The two first ones are males and the third a female. Irina is a fantastic spanish lady and volunteer that has made visits and photos and saved MANY dogs from there just the last few days, thanks to her eagerness.

    But so far no sucess with these three beauties. Today the perrera is changing its owner and a company is going to take over, what this will mean in practice is uncertain, but the place is horrible. The dogs get cold, sick and some have even died from starvation. It’s a hell.

  • Beautiful Amelia – a x podenco/galgo waiting for her forever

    Bev Amelia x pod 250 1 1 2013This is Amelia, one of the dogs that went to Bev Farmer in Murcia, from Sandra Baas at Villa del Rio, Cordoba.

    Amelia is a Podenco/Glago cross, highly prized by the hunters. She has spent over a year in a shelter. I have no idea why she has not been adopted yet, as she is one of the sweetest loving obedient dogs I have ever encountered.

  • Podenco Zorro – can you offer him that special forever home?

    Zorro 2 250 1 2013Many of you will have been following the diary of Zorro, an abandoned podenco taken in by Kate and eventually arriving safely at the home of Bev Farmer. He is now ready for adoption. Here’s what Bev says about this stunning hound.

    Zorro was rescued last year. He was only a few months old. Kate discovered him being chased by three cars, trying to run him over. At the time she was living in a tent on a camp site and it was very difficult trying to keep him there but she persevered.

  • Finland – sending a rescue dog for rehoming – consider very seriously before sending it

    Many podencos, galgos and greyhounds (from Ireland) are adopted in Norway and Sweden without a problem. However Finland is further north. I am disturbed by the news that a podenco from Galgos del Sur went to Finland for adoption believing there was no problem for the podenco – the Finnish authorities are being very difficult about it, and the podenco is not allowed to be rehomed. The podenco is still in Finland whilst an association tries to rehome him. (Bloody bureacrats!) So, anyone wanting to know more about the problems for importing a rescued dog to Finland for adoption, here are some links.
