  • Hind leg dew claws – what to do about them

    Bev Ray socks 250One of the podencos recently rescued from Valencia perrera is Ray, a rough-haired boy who is now in foster with Bev Farmer. He was recently castrated and, at the same time, his rear dew claws removed.

    I’ve lived with all types of dogs all my life and been in involved in the rescue of a few hundred, especially from Spain, and I’ve not come across a dog with rear dew claws. So I asked Bev about it and also found this information on the Internet.

  • Podencos in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Solo shade 1 250As usual, my recent visit to Spain was full of action and, even better, rescued dogs! You can read about my visit to ACTIN on this link. From there I spent a couple of days with Bev and Warren and their 26 podencos at the finca they recently moved to. Most of the podencos are waiting for their forever homes, including Solo and Carina. Little puppy Sky and his best buddy Rembrandt already have adoptions arranged, as does Dave and little Maneto Lily. Please contact Bev if you would like more information on her podencos. She will shortly have a website where you can see them all.

    Enjoy this video of some of the podencos at play.

  • Podenco Andaluz Solo – seeking his forever home and family

    Bev Solo 1 250 7 2013Introducing handsome podenco Solo, who is with Bev Farmer. He’s desperate for a family and a loving home to call his own for the rest of his life. Can you find a place for him? Bev Farmer describes his character.

    ‘This is Solo he has been at Pepis Refuge since he first wandered into their gates as a puppy back in 2008.

    For some reason no one has shown any interest in him, it’s such a shame that he has not had a family of his own for 5 years.

    To help out Solo has come to us and he is a super Podenco very friendly loves to play with the other dogs very quick to learn and wants to please. He is a really affectionate dog and not a loner and at night time he sits on Warre’sn lap while Warren’s drinking a beer or two.

    I think he will be brilliant at agility and we will start with some training with him. He has his passport up to date vaccinations, blood tested and negative and is castrated. Thank you to Beryl who sponsored Solo and organised for him to travel to us.

    To adopt Solo please email me; podencofriends@hotmail.co.uk
