  • Bullas boys searching for forever homes – contact Ibizan Hound Rescue

    Bullas Desperate Dan 250 7 2012I recently posted an appeal for homes for some podenco puppies whose Mom was one of the podencas rescued from Bullas, Murcia, in Operation Rehala. 4 of the pups are still waiting for their forever homes. They are in foster in Spain and will be ready to travel to the UK at the end of July. They will be stunning Ibizan Hounds and, as mentioned before, the breed can make superb agility dogs – they often compete in agility in Germany. If you can offer one of these gorgeous boys a home, please contact Valerie of Ibizan Hound Rescue.

  • Podenca Beatriz – from Valencia to Devon, UK

    Bea collar 190 6 2012We all love happy endings and here’s another one, about this beautiful podenca bitch called Beatriz. Ellie tells her story.

    ‘Having spotted Beatriz on the Paws On Spain Adopt A Pet rescue site
    two months ago, Bea is now in her new forever home down on the farm in
    North Devon, UK. Rescued in a terrible state, emaciated and very
    scared, Bea has come on in leaps and bounds, thanks to the care she
    received from Paws On in Ontinyent, a small, privately run rescue.

  • Podenca Linda, exploited, maltreated, dumped in a Seville street

    Linda 3 06 2011 250 This post is for “SUPER PEOPLE.” Please help this little podenca in Seville.

    She has been named Linda. Life has obviously been very miserable for her, at the hands of unscrupulous people who have used her for breeding, discarded now. She’s been wandering for more than 3 months, disoriented, malnourished, depressed. She’s had a blow to the face, no front teeth. She’s currently off the street in an empty house but needs to be with someone who will put the life back into her and find her a forever home. Please can someone take this lost soul.

  • Podenca Estrella, survivor of the Jaen killing station

    Estrella and Angie in Jaen 190 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.
