  • L’Europe des Levriers – saving the galgos and podencos of Albacete perrera

    Bea Irene Albacete rescue 250 10 2011L’Europe des Levriers is the French association from whom I adopted my galgas and with whom I have also travelled to Spain to help with rescues. At the beginning of October (when I was in the UK and unable to help) a team travelled to Spain to bring back 30 galgos and podencos from the perrera at Albacete. Most of the dogs had been there for over a year. And you will be impressed by the excellent conditions at this particular perrera, would that all of them achieved this standard.

    Beatrice, President of the association, tells the tale, and you can see a film of the rescue here.

    ‘Alarmed by the incessant fighting of male dogs who were missing space in the crowded perrera of Albacete, EDL has decided to take out ALL galgos and podencos from there. 30 dogs (50% of them Podencos) were brought to France at the beginning of October, to host families. These pictures do not reflect the expression and beauty: Yuma, Sira, Yiyo, Chicote, Queco, Anko, Nevo, Zuzo, Kronos, Claudia, Aysha, Violetta, Belinda, Tiva, Gala, Mano for galgos! Half of them have already been adopted.

  • 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.

  • Two Podenca Mums in Valencia – anyone room for them?

    Family Trapp Valencia perrera 250 One of the things which amazes me about the refusal of the Spanish councils and authorities to do anything to stop the abandonment of dogs and cats is that there is a high health risk – toxocara canis. Dog mess everywhere, where kids walk and play! Here’s the tale of two more podencas, dumped and now with puppies to feed. Can anyone help?

    This poor podenca is in the perrera in Valencia. You can see from the state of her that she is struggling to feed 10 puppies! They have been called the TRAPP FAMILY. She was picked up and taken to the perrera when a neighbour of the person feeding her threatened to poison her. In the perrera they ae all exposed to viruses and infection. Can anyone help this beautiful podenca? The brave TRAPP deserve our help.

  • Podenca Blanca in Jaen – looking for her forever home

    Blanca 111 2010 250 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.
