  • Podenco stray in Solano, Valencia – urgently needed to get him off the streets

    Urgent: Sweet William needs a foster or forever home. Can you help???
    Call Diane 664 585 275

    This stunning boy (see pix below)is a malnourished stray in Solano. Between 1 and 2 years old. We are desperate to get him a foster home to give us the time to find him a forever home. Believed to have been dumped when his owners moved away. He will be vaccinated and neutered soon.

    This is an amazing looking dog, he is very friendly and obviously used to being a pet. Still very skinny, he is doing well and the vet says he will make a full recovery. He adores people and is great with other dogs. He is very gentle and sweet and just wants someone of his very own to love.

  • Podenca Malaika – from Spanish hell to Spanish heaven!

    Bev Malaika golf course 250 1 2013Regular readers will know the name Bev Farmer, who is a podenco passionata in Murcia and works tirelessly to help abandoned podencos on the route to a forever life. She also takes some stunning photos, I’m hoping she will have time to put together a podenco calendar for next year.

    This is her story about Malaika, a young podenca bitch loose on a golf course.

    ‘There is something so special about Malaika, and the second I saw her I felt a very strong connection and had no intention of leaving her on that Golf course no matter what it took to catch her. Now she is with us and where will remain with us for ever.

    Mike, who is a steward on the golf course, tried for months to get help for her and he never gave up. The day we caught her, Mike wiped a few tears away. Hannah, his wife, named her Malaika, which is Swalili for Angel and a perfect name

  • Seville – podencos for hire for hunting!

    I’m still stuck in the UK because of snow, and struggling to post. Here’s a story I received earlier this week, emailed on to associations I hope can help, and now post you the story. Apologies though, as I’m using a computer which won’t allow me to post pix.

    ‘On January 6, 2013 I drove with my husband and adopted dog (from a perrera near Malaga, ‘El Paraiso’) from Tarifa to Seville, and on to Cordoba.

    We stopped at a rural restaurant for coffee where I became aware of a whole lot of dogs crying somewhere in the vicinity.

  • Podenca Andaluz Cleo – in her forever with Foundation Djimba

    Djimba cleo 250Meet Cleo, a small Podenca Andaluz, who has also suffered at the hands of the Spanish hunters. Luckily, she has now found her forever place of safety, in France with Djimba. Betty tells her story.

    ‘As of so many of her kind, the history of Cleo is unknown but also not hard to imagine. Born In the wild, taking care of herself, not kindly treated by humans.

    At the beginning of 2012 I received an email from a friend in Barcelona – did I know a solution for a little podenca with an extreme fear of humans? Djimba is a home for old, ill or handicapped dogs and Cleo was none of these. However in the last 13 years we have had a lot of experience with traumatized dogs and her little face touched us.
