“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…)
Akira Animal Sanctuary is now Pepito Refugio de Perros but they still carry out the rescue, shelter, foster and rehoming of Pedrera’s unwanted and abandoned dogs. As always, Podencos are amongst those hoping for forever homes. Meet Sammy
Sweet girl- Loves people & other dogs- Great family dog She was brought to us severely wounded – with two toes so badly injured they needed to be amputated. She has been recovering in a lovely foster home (big thank you Run!) – but she is now looking for her forever home. She is housetrained, loves people, good with other dogs. Great family dog. She is 5 years old. Who will give Sammy a chance?
Contact the shelter if you can give Sammy the forever home she deserves.

Eleven years of loyalty… and now all Princesa wants is a warm bed and someone to love her.
This is Princesa, an 11-year-old Podenca who is searching for a loving retirement home. She is currently in the Valencia region of Spain.
At a time in her life when she deserved extra love and care, Princesa was signed over to Friends of Aprop after developing a health condition that is easily managed. Sadly, because she was no longer considered “useful,” her owner chose not to stand by her through her golden years, leaving the shelter to give her the care she deserves. (more…)
How can this little Podenco puppy be ignored, no one has asked for him. A shelter is no place for a puppy. He’s 5 kilos, aged 8 months, is very loving. He is in Huelva (Andalucia), but can travel in Spain.

Dogs are pack animals, they prefer company, whether it is another dog, cat or human. Many suffer from separation anxiety. We have always had more than one dog, although now we are down to just one and take her with us most places we go.
So how long should a dog reasonably be expected to be left alone.
Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.
Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.
Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com
Some people found an injured and dying young woman in a trash bin inside a bag. The little dog was found casually by a volunteer from the Noah’s Ark protective association, who managed to save her life and has reported the case to the Civil Guard. Events took place in Granadilla
The story of Hannah, a Podencian puppy, is so frightening that it’s hard to believe she had a favorable outcome. The little dog was found badly injured and on the verge of death inside a bag in a garbage container in the neighborhood of Atogo, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, in the south of Tenerife.
The case has already been reported to the Civil Guard and is in the hands of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA), which has opened an investigation to try to identify the author of the events, as explains to @planeta_canario the manager of the Noah’s Ark Protective Association, Beautiful Gallinat.

Yet another sad example of the horrors endured by Spain’s hunting dogs because there is no law to protect them.
The 6 month old puppies arrived from Alentejo this week. They were brought to Tiny Shelter by the very kind Municipal vet of Alentejo, herself. They are lovely dogs and clearly so excited to be in a new place …away from the CHAOTIC AWFUL PLACE where they lived…
All have small cuts and sores, proof that they had to fight for food , but apart from that, they are lovely ,happy, GRATEFUL puppies, excitedly smelling and investigating everything. He immediately vaccinated them , gave them very good puppy food and toys. These are some of the lucky ones, already removed … close to 20 have been removed…there are 50 left! (more…)
