  • Podenco Friends, Alicante – who cut the hole in the fence?!!

    Bev Bella Nestor him 24 hours away 250Regular readers will know of the incredible work done by Bev Farmer and Warren Beards of Podenco Friends, in Alicante. I have the pleasure of visiting them in September 2013, sharing their lives with the rescued podencos and seeing the devotion and incredible work they do for these maltreated yet fantastic hounds.

    They live in a finca inland in the middle of the campo with very few neighbours – those there are live in the distance! They have a good relationship with the local galgueros, many of whom cannot believe the cruelty others inflict on these fabulous hounds. So it is with a heavy heart that I read the following report by Bev – luckily this time with a happy ending.

  • Valencia podencos – together forever

    Bev esme Nacha on arrival 250When I visited Bev, I met two of the 50+ podencos rescued from a hellhole in Valencia. Their necks bore the marks made by the chains and collars. After rehabilitation with Bev and Warren, they have now both found their forever family. a wonderful happy story!

    Bev writes. As we prepare Nacha for her big trip to America to Sallie Lisa and her team at Grateful Greyhounds Inc. there is another twist to this story. One I had secretly hoped for and this week it has become a reality. We got confirmation that Nacha will be reunited with Esme and these two Podencos will never be separated again. Martha Feltenstein, who has already adopted Esme, was at the airport on the 5th December to welcome Nacha and take her home. This fantastic ending to such a sad story has only come about from the co-operation and team work of so many people.

  • Rescued Podencos in Murcia – podencos for adoption

    To spend some time with Bev and Warren and all their foster podencos in Murcia – well, a few are permanent residents – was a fabulous experience. I offered to help with the dogs but they were organised, they had their routine, so I did as I was told! Walking on the campo with Bev and the young hounds, watching her training them on recall was fabulous.

  • Podenca Amira in Murcia – from hell en route to happiness

    Amira A heart warming tale about a beautiful podenca. Bev tells her story.

    Introducing Amira who came from a Perrera. At first she was reserved by a Spanish association but she escaped the next day and lived wild in the campo for weeks. Someone managed to catch her and they wouldn’t take her back so the perrera contacted me and asked if I would take her.

  • Holidays in Alicante – no accommodation for this podenca

    I only read this story today, no one contacted me with the appeal. I might have been able to help – put people in touch with each other where others – it’s what I do ‘behind the scenes’ at Podenco Post and Galgo News. So many people tried to help when those who were asked first and should have helped DID NOTHING! So sad. She could have been saved….

  • 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.
