  • Young podenco in Albacete killing station – please can someone save him?

    Albacete perrera mouruno 2 250 This beautiful boy is Mourino, just a year old and already in the Albacete killing station. He desperately needs a foster or adopting family urgently, as the shelters are full. Being young, he’s active and needs training, so he needs an enclosed garden and regular walks.

    L’Europe des Levriers desperately want to get him out of the killing station, along with his companion Podo, as they are seriously at risk of being taken by the galgueros. These two boys urgently need someone to give them a chance of a forever life. Please contact them if you can help.

  • Sightseeing, Seville – not for this podenca

    Hernia 250 08 2011 The first podenca I fostered had been taken to the Jaen perrera by her hunter because she had a hernia the size of a tennis ball. She was rescued and operated on and rehomed in France. Her hernia was nothing like the size of this one.

    As you can see, the little podenca is petrified. She was kept in a hut, but luckily rescued and is now with a vet for urgent operation. She will have to go into a residencia afterwards unless a fostger/convalescence home comes forward. And her operation will need paying for. Please contact Immaculate if you wish to help, ask for copies of the vet bills etc. Use a Spanish translator package like Google or Spanish dict.

  • Podenco X Batman, finding forever in the UK

    Batman Pod x GSD 190 Cath Morton July 2011 This is a lovely rehoming story about Batman, a podenco x german shepherd, who found his forever home in the UK with Catherine Morton.

    ‘I adopted Batman, a GSD x Podenco from SOS Animals (www.sos-animals.org.uk) on 8th December 2010. I saw his picture and appeal for a home on a sighthound forum and was totally smitten.

    He had been in a Spanish Shelter (SOS Animals) for 6 years and was being given a chance at finding a home in the UK. He made the 48 hour journey, along with another 14 dogs who were fortunate enough to find homes in the UK and I travelled to finally meet him with 2 of my existing dogs. Luckily they got on like a house on fire so home he came.

  • Buddies on the streets of Cordoba – please help them

    Cordoba collid podenco 1 250 06 2011 This is the story of two buddies, a collie and a podenca. The collie has spent months wandering around an area of Cordoba. Recently he’s been joined by this little podenca. No one wants them, everyone walks buy, occasionally someone throws them a crust.

  • Ibizan Hounds help dementia sufferers – on Ibiza

    Ibizan Hound Central PAT dogs 250 Here is a fascinating article about the Ibizan Hounds on the island of Ibiza, some of which are being used as PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. In England my greyhound Molly was a PAT dog and we used to have great fun visiting a retirement home – folks used to love to talk about dogs they had owned, and Molly really enjoyed birthdays when she got to share the cake!

    The article also explains the other activities which young Ibizan Hounds can be trained for – search and rescue, agility and so on. Podencos – whatever type – are not just for hunting or simply a companion dog. Since they are active working dogs, using them for PAT, agility and so on can enhance your ownership of one of these fantastic dogs.

    There is a list of associations on Podenco Post which specialise in rescuing and rehoming podencos – please give a thought to offering one a forever home.
