Portugal – podenca puppies saved from a cruel death
These two tiny podencas were found yesterday by a farmer. They were inside a rubbish bag, tied up, left in a field to die. Taken into the care of Teresa Sousa and her team, they have been to the vet and have been wormed. Now called Pipa and Lira. Teresa would be grateful to anyone who could sponsor their vaccinations and to apply to adopt one. Please paypal adoptions to portugaldogrescue@gmail.com (sorry the pix aren’t very good quality)
Regarding Esperança, the municipal vet, who is friends with Teresa, has issued Esperanca’s owner a fine (that’s the most he can do, as it was a first offence, at least legally), and the man is now appealing, claiming he is too poor and cannot afford the fine. Video Esperanca & babies, 7 in all.
