    No photo description available.

    4 November 2026 – From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

    110 dogs rescued in the Valencia region — mostly Podencos.
    In the last 15 years, I have taken Podencos from some terrible situations, but this rescue has to be one of the worst I have seen.
    110 dogs, mostly Podencos, exposed to the full sun with no shelter, no access to water, tied with short chains, held in cages or crates and kept in overcrowded conditions. Suffering from severe malnutrition and showing various signs of abuse.

  • Podenca Ginger in Germany hoping for her forever home

    Ginger, who has been at her foster home in 04539 Groitzsch (near Leipzig, Germany), is almost 2 years old, neutered, tested negative for Mediterranean diseases, and ready for her family 🌺

    Contact: Leonie Gessinger (+491794360839 or gessinger@tsv-europa.de)
    Sometimes it doesn’t take much time to realize that a dog has a very special companion. Ginger has only been at her foster home since yesterday, October 17th, and is already showing what a wonderful dog she is.
    In her new environment, Ginger is curious. She explores the apartment, looks at everything very carefully, and wants to know what’s going on around her. She doesn’t always seek out contact with her humans. When someone approaches her, she clearly enjoys the attention and likes to be petted. She doesn’t need a big show, but rather can arrive at her own pace and discover how beautiful life can be in a loving home.

    Aruna is a small, fuzzy podenga (8Kg). She is around 7 years old. Was found with her babies and hurt in the neck. Likely someone kicked her very strongly. A small tilt to the head remains but she is perfectly fine. These dogs are beaten, poisoned and killed by villagers that don´t want them around. Aruna is looking for a home.

  • Podenca Ruby on Lanzarote, Canary Islands – hoping for a forever home

    May be an image of animal

    I am Ruby and I need to tell you my story.
    I am RUBY, a 7-year-old poodle, and I live in Lanzarote, Canary Islands.  Perhaps some have never heard of podencos.  Perhaps they don’t even know exactly where Lanzarote is.  If you look at a map, you will discover that, although we are in Spain, the Canary Islands are very far from the Peninsula.  Here, many podencos are used for rabbit and quail hunting. The hunting season lasts 3 months and, for many of us, the rest of the year means living locked up, tied up, or in very harsh conditions.
    Our sad fate is very similar to that of the greyhounds on the Peninsula.
    That is why so many associations and projects have been born in Europe that fight to rescue us and find families for us.   But we live on an island, far and isolated. We receive much less help and collaboration than we need.

    ARAY FOR RESPONSIBLE ADOPTION

    ARAY is a very sociable little dog with dogs and shy with people, but little by little he will improve

    He is suitable for cats

    He is young, almost one year old, medium-sized, and weighs about 15 kilos.

    ARAY is very friendly, fun, and loves to play with other dogs

    He is learning to walk on a leash

    Can you help us find a family for him?

    We are looking for a family that lives outside urban areas, he is still afraid of car noises and crowds of people.

    We are looking for a family that already has a dog at home, he needs a dog to copy.

  • Salva un Podenco Gran Canaria – podenco rescue on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

    “Save a Podenco in Gran Canaria” is an animal shelter run by volunteers. Since 2017, we have been dedicated to the rescue, protection, and raising awareness about Podencos. Because they are used for hunting, Podencos are excluded from current animal protection laws, which makes it very difficult to help them.

    We rescue them, find them foster homes, and prepare them to be happy; to have a family that lasts them a lifetime. (more…)
