  • Galgos del Sol podencos waiting for forever families

    Sandy with Floyd 190 Tina July 2011 Podencos come in various sizes – read about the different types on Podenco Post – and coat colours – chestnut, chestnut and white, smooth haired, rough haired. But whatever size and coat type, they are all fabulous hounds who suffer at the hands of the hunters, just as the galgos do.

  • Podenca Laila, dumped at killing station, carrying a huge tumour

  • Scooby Auction 15th May – Donations urgently needed

    Scooby appeal banner 200 Dear friends,

    It is hard to believe that this year will be our 3rd Scooby North America Auction. Actually, we are having 2 auctions this year. One in June and another in December. In the past two years, with your help we have raised enough money to help install a much-needed tile floor in the Hospital and Surgery Center and build numerous brick shelters in the paddocks at the Scooby Animal Refuge in Medina del Campo, Spain.

    This year we are hoping that with your generosity we can build a much needed puppy house. The puppy house will be fully insulated, including the floor. There will be whelping boxes for mom and her pups and a doggy door for the mothers to use the outside areas before the puppies are ready. There will also be room for them to play and romp around and of course beds for them to sleep without always having to be under foot.
