  • Podencos in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Bev Chas n Dave 250 7 2013Do you remember the appeal for help for Chas and Dave, two podenco puppies rescued in Cadiz and needing foster and forever homes. We arranged for them to go to Bev Farmer in Murcia and here is a fabulous photo of them with her husband Warren. That’s the two boys, the tinies each side of the other podencos. Contact Bev if you can offer one of them a forever home.

  • Holidays in Alicante – no accommodation for this podenca

    I only read this story today, no one contacted me with the appeal. I might have been able to help – put people in touch with each other where others – it’s what I do ‘behind the scenes’ at Podenco Post and Galgo News. So many people tried to help when those who were asked first and should have helped DID NOTHING! So sad. She could have been saved….

  • Reflections on the Bullas, Murcia, rescue on 9th March 2012 – 120 dogs

    The Shame of Spain -250  Viv 3 2012Regular readers will have been following the two large rescues carried out in Murcia in January and February 2012, namely at a gypsy camp with 74 dogs, and Bullas with 120 dogs. Vivienne Wharton lives near Cartegena, Murcia and has written about her experiences with the Bullas rescue on 9th March 2012.

    The shame in Spain

    I recently started my activities in a facebook group – Animal Welfare Support Murcia, whilst waiting for my Association, Actin, to be registered by the Town Hall. Actin – Animal Care Treatment International Network is not a rescue charity but an Association which will endeavor to make changes to the overwhelming situation of abandoned and neglected dogs, cats and other domestic animals in the region. We plan to do this through many activities including education and campaigns.

  • Podenca Andaluz Lucy – abandoned in Malaga, forever in Holland

    Lucy Malaga airport 250  2 25 1 2012Little Podenca Andaluz Lucy was rescued by Susanna from the side of a railway track. She suffered serious injury from being attacked by a larger dog, but has made a marvellous recovery, thanks to the work of 112carlotagalgos and Paco, their vet. Podencoworld in Holland had an offer of a foster home for Lucy and on 25th January, Lucy and four other lucky podencos flew from Malaga airport to Holland. Because Lucy only weight 8 kilos, she went as ‘hand luggage’!

    Here are some photos of Lucy at the airports, including Susanna, her rescuer, and a lovely video of her playing in her foster home, the day after her arrival. Good luck Lucy, you will soon find your forever family.

    Iggy 2 190 1 2012I’ve received this urgent plea today. ‘My partner and I need URGENT HELP since we’ve been fostering two dogs, 1 of them a 12 months Andalusian Podenco, whilst trying to find a permanent home for them.

    Our urgent situation is we have to leave Spain for personal reasons and we are moving at the beginning of February from a house we rent and cannot take the dogs with us to the UK or continue to foster them much longer, because we will be staying as guests in houses and our near future is quite uncertain.
