  • Podenco x Frank needs veterinary care – please donate

    Tina Frank 250 06 2011 As with many small refuges, Galgos del Sol struggles for funding to pay for veterinary care and feed for their galgos and podencos. This is one of them, Frank, a podenco x found running up a motorway, starving and frightened. He is approx 1yrs old and fully vaccined and castrated. At present he is too thin. His bloods are negative for leishmania, erlichia and filaria. Frank has a serious food allergy which causes extreme diarrhoea, his pancreas has tested ok and he needs a special food diet. He’s now been taken into the vet clinic for further tests, including an endoscopy.

    This is going to cost 500 euros, a lot of money, if you can donate towards the cost of Frank’s vet fees, you will make a big difference to the life of this young dog. At present we are working with a vet to find a diet that suits him.

  • Two Podenca Mums in Valencia – anyone room for them?

    Family Trapp Valencia perrera 250 One of the things which amazes me about the refusal of the Spanish councils and authorities to do anything to stop the abandonment of dogs and cats is that there is a high health risk – toxocara canis. Dog mess everywhere, where kids walk and play! Here’s the tale of two more podencas, dumped and now with puppies to feed. Can anyone help?

    This poor podenca is in the perrera in Valencia. You can see from the state of her that she is struggling to feed 10 puppies! They have been called the TRAPP FAMILY. She was picked up and taken to the perrera when a neighbour of the person feeding her threatened to poison her. In the perrera they ae all exposed to viruses and infection. Can anyone help this beautiful podenca? The brave TRAPP deserve our help.

  • Podencos – cruel treatment by the Spanish hunters

    Albacete podenca 1 2010 250 Podencos suffer severe maltreatment at the hands of the Spanish hunters – abandoned, starving, caught in snares, ends of their noses chopped off to make them look like a pig, chained through the mouth to a wall, stoned to death……………..some have even had 'shot' still inside them, where they have been hit as well as the rabbits!Here's a few examples.

    I make no apologies for posting all these pictures together, let's start off Podenco Post by showing some of the horrors perpetrated against these loving and affectionate dogs, some of whom found loving homes eventually, one who sadly did not, murdered at the hands of a 16 year-old thug.
