Volunteers are trying to save the two dogs. They are on CESE which means the bloody hunters have handed them in on fast track to kill! Video 2 is of a 6 year old podenco who, as you can see, is really traumatised. A foster home needs finding for her urgently where she can be rehabilitated with patience and understanding, ready for adoption. Contact Angie urgently if you can help Flecha especially

  • Urgent – 3 pod pups need foster homes and podenca Blanca needs a very special forever home

    Roz Lewis Blanca 4 2013Urgent appeal from Rosemary, who lives in Valencia region and rescued Podenca Ana a couple of years ago.

    ‘I rescued a beautiful white Podenco and have named her Blanca. I had been feeding her for a long time, then she got sick and I managed to catch her. She was very sick, she had very bad anemia, the vet originally said she was 3-4 years old, so I went of and found her a fantastic home to go to and the lady waited and waited for her to get better.

    Last week the head vet told me that although Blanca was much better she could never be vaccinated as her immune system is just not working well and that she thinks she is nearer nine years old. Blanca also needs to be on steroids now for the rest of her life.

    This meant her home fell through and now I am looking to find somewhere for her to spend the rest of her days. I cannot begin to describe how loving this girl is and how easy she is to look after.

  • Albalat Animal, Ribera, Valencia – injured podenco – please help

    Albalat Animals pod 250 3 2013This podenco has been named Leo by Albalat Animal Ribera in Valencia province. It took them a month to catch him. As you can see, he has a bad wound to his near hind leg. He is not chipped. He has been examined by a vet who will do tests for a diagnosis as to what work can be done to save his leg, rather than amputate. Albalat Animal are asking for a foster home for him as he needs a lot of attention, care and rest and is on 12-hourly medication.

    Albalat Animal have no shelter, so they desperately need somewhere for this boy to go, and financial help to cover veterinary expenses. So far they have paid out €109.12 and that is just the beginning. Tomorrow we return to do x-rays, in principle 2 to 35.32 euros each. Contact email and Paypal a/c albalatanimal@gmail.com
