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

Arrecife, Lanzarote – SARA Protectora Podenco Publicity Day!
I’m catching up on posts, as have been away on holiday for a week with my son and grandsons. Here’s a marvellous event which is much needed in the Canary Islands where the podencos have a very hard life, and local people need to know what marvellous pets they can make.
SARA Lanzarote are organising an event on 24th November at Arrecife, and hope that it’s not too late for podenco associations elsewhere and on mainland Spain to organise something at the same time. Here’s the report from SARA Lanzarote.

SARA Lanzarote podencos in the UK for rehoming
Three fabulous hounds from SARA Protectora on Lanzarote, Canary Islands. Now in the UK for rehoming.
Hello my name is Chloe and I am a 2 year old bitch Podenco Canario with probably something else crossed in although I have been told that this is a good thing as it makes me easier to look after! I came to England from Lanzarote early in 2012 and immediately went into a new foster home, who have shown me how to be a clean girl in the house and make myself attractive to humans! This bit wasn’t difficult as I am very pretty and have a really nice way about me.

SARA Protectora, Lanzarote – podencos find homes in the Czech Republic
I try hard to remind people that the podencos in the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands have a very tough time. Even worse, their main chance of a forever life outside of the shelters, where they are well looked after and never put down, is to be adopted on mainland Europe. Here’s wonderful news from SARA Protectora on Lanzarote. and please remember, if you are holidaying especially on Lanzarote, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, go along to the local dog shelters and support the volunteers who work tirelessly to help the islands’ abandoned and unwanted.

SARA Lanzarote – saving animals in the Canary Islands
I mention many times how hard it is for the podencos in the Canary Islands to find forever homes. The SARA Lanzarote newsletter popped into my mailbox today and I couldn’t believe that Rodrigo, this beautiful podenco, is still in the SARA shelter – 5 years on! He’s a failed hunter, good to walk on a lead, good with children and adults and other dogs. Surely there must be someone somewhere who has a place in their heart for him?
They have donzens of deserving podencos there, amongst all the other dogs, please contact them direct if you can help Rodrigo or any of the others.

SARA Lanzarote, Canary Islands – Lombi now looking for a home in the UK
Rick and Lesley Beauchamp do a marvellous job rehoming podencos from SARA Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. Rick has appealed for help in rehoming Lombi, who is now at their home in Lincolnshire, UK.
‘I’ve come on for assistance in finding a home for a lovely 5 year old Podenco Cross
(poss with GSD) dog called Lombi. He went into SARA as a puppy and graduated to the dullest, dingiest corner of the shelter where no dog ever gets homed. Klaus the long serving kennel hand begged us with clasped hands to bring this chap back to the UK. He has the loveliest nature although currently a little wary of strangers. -

Canary Islands, SARA Protectora – help the hounds on the Spanish Islands
I can’t emphasise enough about the podencos on the Spanish Islands, Canary Islands and Ibiza. Their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe. Please don’t overlook these deserving hounds when you are thinking of taking a podenco into your home.
These two beauties are in the care of SARA Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
Milka is about 6 years old, a large podenco canario, and was found abandoned with her sistenr in the volcano on Lanzarote. She’s not much of a hunter, prefers to be with people, loving and obediante, walks without being on a lead. A fantastic hound for a companion dog. She is very good and happy
