  • Starved podenco Abel – needs help and a home

    Abel head  2504 2012Abel is young male Podenco about 10 months old, you can see he has not had the best start in life. He is very underweight, weak and will need some time for him to build up his strength. He is negative for Leishmania, filaria and elerichia and we hope he doesn’t have any long term health problems because of his neglect.

  • Podenca Coco lands on her feet in Alhaurin

    Coco 4 Emma 250 sleeping 4 2012Introducing Coco, a podenca andaluz, who knew just the right people to pick forever!
    Emma tells the tale.

    ‘We first moved to Spain at the start of April 2011 and were staying at a villa near Alhaurin el Grande. The first day we arrived my partner Richard was looking in a river close to the villa, when a small head popped out of a hole, to his surprise it was a little puppy! I couldn’t believe it when he walked in with her, she was so cute. We asked around and was told she was abandoned and nobody wanted her (which unfortunately is supposed to be common), I was shocked how anyone could just dump such a sweet puppy!

At 7am Michelle heard a car racing off and a dog screaming. Her first thought was that a dog had been seriously hurt.
