Appeal from Adaana – if their rescued podencos don’t soon find homes, they can’t help the others already on the street needing taking to safety. Here’s what they say.
‘We’re getting near February, and we know that with the end of the hunting season we’ll suffer a new wave of “hunting tools” dropped everywhere, while those which we already rescued remain invisible, without finding a home.
I send you a collage we made to promote them. The main photo is of Podenco Friends in Murcia, in the other photos: Miga, Amber, Lucía, Chance, Shabie y Bonsai. Real beauties!! More here.
We are already receiving requests for help for other podencos who, like them, have been used and discarded, but we can’t do more, especially if our rescued don’t achieve to find their new homes.
Help us to break this spell that makes them invisible, help us to promote them.
Amber was seen by a college of us with her owners and a lot of other podencos, hunting in a forbidden area. She approached them to tell them they shouldn’t be hunting there and they left. Amber caught her eye, because she seemed so young and clumsy… the next day she saw Amber on her own, and the next, … she was scared, but as the days went passed she got more confident and now she’s understood that there’s nothing to be scared about, and she’s a wonderful dog.
Miga was during nearly a month following in the distance a girl every time she walked her dog, she looked skinny and harmed. Between this person and a few neighbors they kept feeding her and trying to catch her, and at last, they achieved to catch her and they took her to the vet: she had a peculiar wound in her mouth, and the vet said it’s quite usual in the area, that hunters drop them with their mouth shut so that they aren’t able to hunt, but she was lucky to manage to get rid of it. Also, she was pregnant (we’ve sterilized her).
Though she walks perfectly on the leash and she accepts manipulation, she’s still quite scared, and she prefers to remain in the distance if possible.
