This beautiful little podenca was rescued from the streets of Jaen, heavily pregnant. She is now in the mini refuge at Torre del Campo, ready for her forever home. She’s been named Jara and she’s about 18 months old. Here’s what Romina says about her character.
‘She is lively and playful and gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t like cats. She likes to cuddle and is a bit bossy as she wants all the love for herself!’.
Contact Romina (speaks English) if you can give her a forever home.
Lourdes Pulgar tells the story.
A couple of days ago, someone took a male galgo to the protectora, which they found in Lindares. Now I have been to collect it to take to the garage/mini refuge refuge where there are 8 more dogs.
I was told that it could not walk; it is not lame. has problems of co-ordination and walks as if it was drunk; he eats and drinks as if it had parkinson. I cannot express how I have felt while it was walking – see the videos, it was falling down and
it was stumbling constantly while I was crying was cursing the hunter who has left it.
Less than a year old, he has had a VERY STRONG BLOW IN THE HEAD and this
is the cause of the problem; it also has woulds to its feet. It is ill too.
BLANKETS needed for the dogs at a little refuge in Torredelcampo, Jaen. Lourdes, one of the girls that rescued the little podenca with the eye out works there helping the person that keeps 9 dogs in a semi-open garage. THEY ARE FREEZING TO DEATH, the dog’s drinking water is frozen, the galgas are crying and shivering constantly because of the cold. Read the story below for Lourdes contact address.
The pregnant podenquita is also there, please any help is welcomed!
This beautiful podenca needs a forever home. This is her recent story.
‘Blanca is a beautiful 3-year podenquita which was adopted last week in Barcelona.
Today is called the adopter and says he wants to return it because the dog follows her everywhere and is overwhelming. Blanca has been abused and needs a home to help her overcome her fears. We cannot let her return to our shelter in Jaén. We are saturated and there are fights every day. Some die when attacked by other dogs. Blanca does not deserve that after having experienced the warmth of a home.
If anyone can help, write me abyda@live.com.
Here’s another beautiful podenco abandoned on the streets of Jaen, lucky to escape being injured on the road. She’s affectionate with females, but terrified of men (what a surprise!). We’ve have a temporary home for her but we need to find somewhere else before 10th May. Has anyone room for her?

Can anyone in the Jaen area help this podenco which has been living in a park in Jaén for over a month. He’s loving and kind, but he needs somewhere to go because he has a huge lump on his back which hurts him a lot, maybe an abcess, from a wound or a bite. The shelters in Jaen are all full to overflowing, can anyone else take him.
If anyone can help in any way to contact me. hipnozoita2@gmail.com 646 941 087
I've fostered quite a few podencos, mostly the rough-haired type, from mainland Spain. One of the most beautiful stories is that of Estrella. In December 2009 I posted a picture on Galgo News of 3 galgas and a podenca in a cell in the killing station in Jaen. Rescue of the 3 galgas was arranged but somehow the podenca was overlooked. I received an appeal from across the ocean in Canada – the podenca is still in Jaen, can you get her out?
So the wheels were speedily set in motion and the podenca was rescued and taken to a refuge. An association with whom I work closely, L'Europe des Levriers, then agreed to help get the podenca from Jaen to Madrid, from where I could collect her, along with other galgos we were bringing out to France for rehoming. So there we were, at the beginning of February 2010, meeting up with Estrella – as the podenca had been named – to bring her home to foster.
