  • URGENT- young podencas on death row, Rioja, Logorno, 21 Jan is ‘die day’.

    Rioja DORA 190 20 1 2012This appeal was sent out today (20.1.2012). I am not sure if the dogs have had a reprieve, I think they may be killed tomorrow 21/1, rather than 19/1. So I’m sending out the appeal for help for them. A Kennel or foster home urgently needed so they can be got out. We’re talking about Rioja and Logrono immediately.

    Dora is a small young podenca, nervous, hasn’t known affection. When she advances, she is very sweet, just needs a loving home to be a star.

    Moka (below) is another young female podenca. She is skinny, her eyes are fearful, she doesn’t trust. And yet, if she could be rescued now, she will bloom, put on weight and her coat will shine. She will show the joy of life she deserves.

    If anyone can take them now, contact ar.difusionperrera@gmail.com

  • Podenco rescued from the shacks of Seville – anyone room for him?

    Macu old podenco 250 1 2012This old boy is another one rescued from the shanty town outside Seville. Here’s what Macu says about him.

    ‘I´ve taken another one out of the shacks settlement but it´s also really urgent. There are too many animals that need help and I´ve just taken out this poor one and a young female because they were the worse cases. I have too many in the residence (kennels) and I need help for this one.

    He´s an old male. He has a bone fracture and it´s for sure he will spend a lot of time at the residence and I can´t keep him there for so long.

  • Two Happy Endings – Estrella and Lola

    Estrella& Truman Frances 250 11 2011Followers of Galgo News 2 years ago may remember the story of Estrella, the rough haired podenca left behind in the Cell of 4 at Jaen killing station; the 3 galgas were rescued and rehomed. Estrella wasn’t supposed to be left behind but somehow she was missed. Happily her fate was discovered by Eva Andrews of Scooby Medina and, with the help of L’Europe des Levriers with whom I have worked on rescues, Estrella was brought out of Spain into foster with me.

    Estrella was rehomed with a lovely young Englishwoman, Frances, and here’s what she writes about Estrella today.

  • Podencas urgently needing foster/forever families – L’Europe des Levriers appeal

    Libre 190 EDL 11 2011These two beautiful podencas are looking for foster families or, even better, forever families. L’Europe des Levriers want to get them out of Spain as soon as possible. If you can take one of them, please contact Katia.

    Alana is white, 11 months old, 72cm high to the shoulder, great with cats and dogs, beautiful character and not traumatised atall.

    Libre urgently needs somewhere because she is living not far from her ‘torturer’. She is smaller than Alana, 60cm to the shoulder, calm and happy (surprisingly after her maltreatment).

  • Pity the Males – adopt a male galgo or podenco – they need forever too

    Jerez podenco 26 03 2011 190 This article is taken from the L’Europe des Levriers website, but it applies to all rescue associations and refuges – pity the male dogs, who get overlooked in preference to femals! And even worse, pity the black dogs who get overlooked in prefencence to other colours. And yet, if you have seen a black galgo – admire the fantastic beauty of the shine on their coat, especially teamed up with a stunning jewelled collar.

    Take a moment to think about this, if you might consider adopting a galgo or podenco.

    Pity the male! added August 28, 2011

  • Ibizan Hound Jasper – saved on the Costa Blanca – an ambassador for the breed

    Jasper puppy 1 250 Megan Brown 08 2011 Such a cute little pup, born to an abandoned podenca at Javea, Costa Blanca. Introducing Podenco Ibizan Hound – Jasper. Megan tells his story.

    ‘All my life I have wanted a dog, but work and travel commitments prevented me from doing so. When we moved to Spain I decided the time was right and fate must have heard me say so, because we spotted an advert in our local paper for podenco puppies available mid January (2009), just in time for my birthday!

  • Podenco Denzil – seeking forever – the perfect hound

    Denzil 1 250 Another plea for a forever home for Denzil, the perfect podenco. He’s in a foster home, goes to obedience classes and really desperately wants his forever family.

    Poor Denzil was found wandering the streets hungry and dehydrated. Galgos del Sol spotted him and set out to rescue him. With the help of The Little Pod foundation we were able to catch him. We could see he had been badly treated and was in terrible condition. Denzil was lucky enough to find a lovely foster home but this has almost worked to his disadvantage.
