  • Podenca Reina hoping for a forever home

    May be an image of animal
    Reina – a queen Podenca.  She was handed a hunter… and it makes us so sad to think how easily some people get tired of an animal when it stops serving them as a tool of work.  Fortunately she’s still a happy, noble and affectionate hound and is looking forward to finally finding a real family.
    Almost 5 years old and sociable with other dogs. We don’t think she would fit in with cats because he has quite a hunter instinct.
    She is in Murcia  and can be adopted anywhere in Spain, as long as they personally come to the shelter to pick her up.
    Para adoptarla podéis escribirnos a:  adopcionesalmohadillas@gmail.com

  • Podenca Coco hoping for a forever home.

    Our 12 year old podenca Coco is such a gem. She is sweet and great with other dogs. Towards people she can be a bit shy. Who would like to give this oldie a chance? After 12 years of hunting and having puppies, her last years should be spend on someone’s sofa. She has now gained weight and will be sterilised soon.

    Her suitcases are packed in the hope someone will give this sweet podenca a comfy rest of life.

    Interested in her? Contact us on facebook (Tanamera Rescue) or by email stichtingtanamera@gmail.com

    Some people found an injured and dying young woman in a trash bin inside a bag.  The little dog was found casually by a volunteer from the Noah’s Ark protective association, who managed to save her life and has reported the case to the Civil Guard. Events took place in Granadilla
    The story of Hannah, a Podencian puppy, is so frightening that it’s hard to believe she had a favorable outcome. The little dog was found badly injured and on the verge of death inside a bag in a garbage container in the neighborhood of Atogo, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, in the south of Tenerife.

    The case has already been reported to the Civil Guard and is in the hands of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA), which has opened an investigation to try to identify the author of the events, as explains to @planeta_canario the manager of the Noah’s Ark Protective Association, Beautiful Gallinat.

  • Skin Lesions and Cancer in Dogs

    As a family, we have lost 5 dogs, 1 horse and l cat to different types of cancer.  Lymphoma reared itself as a lump on a galgo’s neck, which had spread.  A sarcoma started bleeding under my horse’s tail.  Cancer developed in my cat’s mouth.  2 more galgos had stomach tumours.

    Weblink to an interesting article on lumps on your dog.  It doesn’t always mean cancer.
