Gabriella shares the story of how she came to adopt Podenca Ivy.
‘I here summarise my love story with Ivy…..
In all my life (I am 57) I have never had a dog. I always preferred cats (at present 3 fantastic cats, 1 Burmese and 2 Burmillas live with me in my apartment…). However, last year, I casually discovered the GACI, an Italian association for the recovery of greyhounds (from Ireland), galgos and podencos (from Spain). In this way I have heard about the destiny of these hunting and running heroes, the way they are fully exploited and, if they are very lucky, abandoned.
Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.
What is about Podencos that incite such passion for them….. for me I see beauty nobility intelligence a creature so unique and magical, those who have adopted one will understand how special and sensitive they are. These should be the national treasure of Spain to be held in reverence to be proud of…. such a truly magnificent creature they should be recognized has part of the national heritage of Spain for they date back to 3000 BC. Yet daily we receive more and reports of Podencos abused, abandoned handed in to Perreras.
This is Nestle, look what the bloody hunter did to mutilate him. And yet he is still an affectionate, loyal and trusting podenco. Ok, not pure podenco, but it’s not his fault the hunter cut off his beautiful huge podenco ears…Can anyone offer him a forever home so he is no longer ‘Not Wanted?’ contact via the website.

I received this appeal for help recently from a lady in southern Spain, who is quite ill and in poor living conditions. She rescued this stunning Podenco Ibicenco, she’s name him Zorro.
She says ‘I have “tamed” a young podenco who was abandoned on this campsite. He was here when I arrived at the end of August and I had no intention of catching him, as I had nowhere to live. The campsite people were chasing him all the time and were going to take him to the perrera. He was thin, frightened and young; I thought I’d be able to find him a home. I didn’t realise he’d get so attached to me or that it would be so difficult to find him a home.
Urgent appeal for anyone with room to take this injured podenca and her pups – there are at least 4 little puppies. It’s cold and wet. They are on an industrial estate in Murcia, along with a cream male – the 2nd video shows the difference where people will feed a dog if it’s not a podenco or galgo! The volunteer who took the photos has nowhere to take them, so please contact urgently maria.adopcion.animal@gmail.com

Considering adopting a Podenco? Here are two beautiful videos of Denzil and Dobby, both fostered and trained by Bev in Spain, before going to forever homes in Sweden and Belgium.
Here’s a delightful piece by Bev Farmer, about her Podenca Tilly.
Tilly Tea-Leaf syndrome ( Liberatio bonorum suorum) is a condition commonly known as the liberation of personal possessions. It was first officially named in 2003 after a Podenco called Tilly. This condition has been reported worldwide and effects all breeds of dogs, some more than others
Symptoms: The stealing of various items and running around the garden showing them off to everyone. In particular shoes, underwear, tea towels, cushions and in extreme cases mobile phones, TV controls and at times destruction of such items.
