4 November 2026 – From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.
Huelva Podenco or PODENCO PATERNINO of Huelva Province in Andalucia. The ‘cradle’ of the Paternino is Huelva where it is used for hunting rabbit, hare and wild boar, mostly in a pack (rehala). A Dog Breeders’ Association Paternino of Huelva was established and registered in 1999, Coats are varied, mainly white with black patches. Read more about it on this weblink.
Podenco Xarnego of Valenciana – read about this type on this weblink.
Podenco Jorge, 5 years old. Jorge and his sister Marta were found as puppies and no one ever showed interest in adopting them. You have to check Jorge´s eyes! He is looking for a home. He is medium size, 20Kg. in Northern Portugal.
Contact email if you can offer him his forever home. podengos@protonmail.com
Of more than 2000 investigated and detained for animal abuse between 2021 and 2023, none went to prison. This is what the parties in Congress allow.
This has to end! Hunting dogs must be protected by animal welfare law.

The podencos of the Canary Islands are Podenco Canario, or Warren Hounds. They have a hellish life at the hands of the hunters, as shown in the video link on this page I published in February 2026.
The Islands are made of Gran Canaria, the largest, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro.
It’s easy to forget that the Canary Islands are largely volcanic. In 2021 the La Palma volcano erupted and the animal rescue association Benaware was overwhelmed with saving dogs and cats. Some of the hunters on El Hierro throw their dogs off the cliffs into the sea at the end of hunting! (more…)

WE NEED DONATIONS TO SAVE THESE POOKS. THE HUNTER DOESN’T WANT THEM ANYMORE AND TAKES THEM TO THE ABANDONMENT 
Martina Diaz HE WANTS TO BECOME A HERO, HELPING MANY PUPS FIND A FAMILY. WE NEED 255€ FOR THEIR TRANSPORT ON THE 27TH FROM ARCOS (CÁDIZ) TO MURCIA, WITHOUT YOUR DONATIONS HE CAN’T SAVE THEM 
“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…)
