Anna, Xativa, Valencia – abandoned podenca needs somewhere to go
This is an urgent appeal for someone to take in this beautiful young podenca. She is in Anna, near Xativa in the Province of Valencia. This is the story from the lady who wants to save her.
‘I have been feeding her since October. I live in Anna which is about 20 minutes from Xativa. I have contacted PEPA and she is on their website but they have nowhere for her to go. I have also contacted SOS Galgos. No one seems able to help.
She has a problem with her leg and she will need an operation which I would be happy to pay for. I do not want to remove her until I have somewhere for her to go.

Help this little Podenca Andaluz in Seville
Podenco Andaluz come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large! I have a small, Bebe, she is pocket sized but has THE biggest personality and keeps 5 galgos in order!
Here’s another very young podenca, now named Conchi-Pepa/Tecla, abandoned, pregnant by a bigger dog. After the puppies, she has been sterlised. She has recovered well from the operation and is in a foster home. But Macu needs help to pay the vet fees, and she desperately needs to find this little podenca her forever home. If you can offer a forever home, please contact Macu. She does an amazing job, keeps these innocent souls at home, or in foster, until someone comes along and can take them. Please, if you can tuck this adorable little Podenca into a corner of your home, next to the fire, contact Macu macu19782010@hotmail.com Mobile Seville 665809169

Little Podenca Andaluz Lucy, lucky to survive an horrendous attack
You may remember little podenca Lucy, recently rescued from beside a railway track. She was going through the process of having her EU passport prepared when she was the victim of a terrible attack by bigger dogs which nearly killed her. The second such incident I have reported recently.
She has umpteen wounds and stitches all over her body; she has a puncture wound almost on the jugular – a little bit closer and Lucy would not be with us. A miracle that she is.

Two Happy Endings – Estrella and Lola
Followers 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.
