Anke Zeldenhurst is the contact for all dogs in the Valencia perrera. Here she explains how you can help save the life of a dog there, in our case – podencos. At the end of the article you will find the description of all the podencos in the perrera.
dogs from Valencia perrera can be saved by:
adoption in Spain
Any associations who take the dog
foster home in Spain
sponsors so i can take the dog out and get him/her to a residence, where we have space.
Please sign this petition!! Here in France we have a breeder which exploits podencos and mistreats them!! They live in the dark, in the garages, in their excrement, without going out and are mistreated!! We want to close it down!! 150 dogs were already seized to him between 2009 and 2012!! Help us!
Here is the petition.
It is in French. If your computer doesn’t automatically translate into English or your native tongue, here are the instrustions.
Beautiful Duke is 13 months old. he is a very happy, gentle and affectionate dog. He had been living rough with another dog for a long time but sadly the other dog has gone missing. Duke is free from all Mediterranean diseases and has been castrated. If you would like to adopt Duke please contact Little Pod Foundation. They have many beautiful podencos desperately hoping to find their forever families soon.
Two young podencos desperately needing foster and forever homes. The young male Ibicenco is no good at hunting, so the hunter is going to kill him along with a couple of Breton Spaniels who he says also are no good as hunters. Please, can anyone take him, he’s only 2 years old. He looks thin and frightened. He’s in Entity, a village in Seville. Contact

And this white beauty, Nana, is only 3 months old, found in the middle of a road in Poblet, Valencia. She is so good, quiet, submissive but cheerful. Seems good with cats, loves other dogs and people. The appeal for a forever home for little Nana, as the foster home is only temporary and she will have to go to a shelter, which is no good for a puppy. Contact m12casom@uco.es jose@uco.e
There is a belief in Europe that guard dogs should be chained up. There is also a belief in Europe that any dog can be chained up, many of them without even shelter. I see it here in France – a border collie chained up in a farmyard particularly angers me. Podencos also suffer this maltreatment and Aaniferira, a Portuguese animal rescue association, have published a piece about dealing with the problem. You can read more about it here.
They are going to start killing the Huesca dogs next week…
These four are heading to the U.S. on April 2nd. They will land in New York and will be living in New England, New York, South Carolina and Missouri.
Transport April 2, 2012 – GRIN has facilitated the transport of these four lucky doggies..I say doggies as they are a combination of a Galgo and Podencos. Our volunteer, Marylou Hecht from New Hampshire, will be our flight patron for this trip as well as bringing back her boy Nando from Ibizen Hound Rescue who GRIN has the pleasure of working with for first time.
Great Day for the podencos at the SARA Protectora, Lanzarote, Canary Islands. The only chance of a forever home for these fabulous hounds is on mainland Europe. Some are already in the UK waiting for homes, others find homes in Germany. Please give them a chance.
This is Melvin, a young medium sized podenco on death row in the Rioja perrera, due to be killed by next weekend – 18/20 March. If you can help save them, contact animalesrioja@gmail.com or ar.difusionperrera@gmail.com I’ve posted the pictures in the order in which their names are listed here.
