I recently posted an appeal for homes for some podenco puppies whose Mom was one of the podencas rescued from Bullas, Murcia, in Operation Rehala. 4 of the pups are still waiting for their forever homes. They are in foster in Spain and will be ready to travel to the UK at the end of July. They will be stunning Ibizan Hounds and, as mentioned before, the breed can make superb agility dogs – they often compete in agility in Germany. If you can offer one of these gorgeous boys a home, please contact Valerie of Ibizan Hound Rescue.

Bullas, Murcia – podencos rescued and now safe
Viv Wharton of Animal Welfare Support Murcia was one of the dozens of volunteers who travelled to Bullas, Murcia, on 9th March 2012, to help in the rescue of over 70 dogs remaining of the 120 in the compouund. This photo is of a few of them, relaxing in safety. Here’s what Viv says about the day.
‘Not an easy day at Bullas but nonetheless successful with the rescue of 8 Podencos. Not easy as we saw first hand how hard those decisions were; great work Little Pod Foundation and Podenco Friends and the volunteers; Little Pod Foundation who were responsible for undertaking the rescue of these pods were professional but passionate and I have great admiration for them.

Bullas, Murcia – 50 podencos need getting out – Pro-Setter Spain organising, please help
I’ve just had news that there are still 50 podencos which need getting out of the camp in Bullas, Murcia, where the owner has been denounced and Seprona have said the dogs will be put down if they are not rescued. Here’s some pix of them. It’s a mammoth task as all the dogs rescued need flea and tick treatment, some have diahorrea, some are sick, most are malnourished. Contact details for Pro-Setter Spain on this link.

Here is the latest update on the 120 galgos, podencos, setters, pointers…all in an enclosure in Bullas, Murcia. Pro-Setter Spain are co-ordinating the rescue, Galgos del Sol in Murcia, along with three other associations, have already taken out 14 dogs. Watch the video – it shows the truth of how thousands of these dogs are kept in rural areas by the Spanish hunters and gitanos. See photos of one rescue.
