  • Podencos – adopt from an association – the refuges are full to bursting!

    Scooby podenco cooeee 190 8 2015Thumbs up for the Podenco Andaluz! Coooeeee, I am Mickey at the back my galga girlfriend Olijfje and my friend Marleentje. We are adopted in Holland but I have many friends like me in Scooby in Spain who need a home themselves. We are little Podenco Andaluz, we are
    very easy going, we love people and we are very friendly and careful with little children. In the house we are quite like galgo’s but we are hunters and we like to make your garden mouse free. Hope you will give my Scooby friends a chance.

    ALWAYS adopt from a recognised rehoming association, never adopt straight from a perrera where the dogs have not been character tested etc.

  • Urgent – 3 x podencos in Madrid perrera

    Madrid pod x Snif 250These are Snif, Nemo and Mina, three podencos in a perrera in Madrid. The two first ones are males and the third a female. Irina is a fantastic spanish lady and volunteer that has made visits and photos and saved MANY dogs from there just the last few days, thanks to her eagerness.

    But so far no sucess with these three beauties. Today the perrera is changing its owner and a company is going to take over, what this will mean in practice is uncertain, but the place is horrible. The dogs get cold, sick and some have even died from starvation. It’s a hell.

  • Electra – Podenco Xarnego Valencia – a new life awaits

    Electra 2 250Whilst there is only one type of galgo, there are many different types of podencos. Most of the best known are listed on Podenco Post homepage. However, there are pockets of Spain and Portugal where the locals have evolved their own ‘type’ of podenco, and Electra is one such, a Xarnego Valencia.

    The Xarnego Valencia is a local podenco dog race in Valencia. Its main function is to hunt rabbits and other types of small game; it is endowed with supreme attitude and perfectly adapted to the variety of different terrains and ecosystems that exist in the entire Mediterranean area.

  • Valencia podenca rescued from starvation – needs her forever home

    Dora 1 250 EDL 09 2011 The resilience of dogs never ceases to amaze me – and their capacity to forgive humans too. This podenca was rescued starving and near death’s door in the Valencia area. You can see from the photo when she was rescued that she could barely stand – just skin hanging on a skeletal frame.

    Dora, as she has been named, is now in Madrid in a foster home, living with other dogs and cats – so no problem living with cats. She have recovered her health and enjoys playing with her toys – and going for walks with her foster mom.
