URGENT APPEAL This beautiful starving young white podenca was found on the streets in Castellon by some boys and has been shut in a storage room.
‘The boys says that if they canb’t find anyone to take it, they will put it back on the street, as they have a problem with the neighbours! We can’t take in any more dogs, we have 15 in kennels including two which are very sick. Please can someone take her urgently.’

This podenco is in the perrera in Orihuela. He was abandoned in a remote area, to die of hunger and thirst. He’s been named Poncho by the people who are trying to save him. Has anyone any room?
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT PONCHO, IS URGENT! Contact: kikacaniche@hotmail.com
The first podenca I fostered had been taken to the Jaen perrera by her hunter because she had a hernia the size of a tennis ball. She was rescued and operated on and rehomed in France. Her hernia was nothing like the size of this one.
As you can see, the little podenca is petrified. She was kept in a hut, but luckily rescued and is now with a vet for urgent operation. She will have to go into a residencia afterwards unless a fostger/convalescence home comes forward. And her operation will need paying for. Please contact Immaculate if you wish to help, ask for copies of the vet bills etc. Use a Spanish translator package like Google or Spanish dict.

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.

Here is a fascinating article about the Ibizan Hounds on the island of Ibiza, some of which are being used as PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. In England my greyhound Molly was a PAT dog and we used to have great fun visiting a retirement home – folks used to love to talk about dogs they had owned, and Molly really enjoyed birthdays when she got to share the cake!
The article also explains the other activities which young Ibizan Hounds can be trained for – search and rescue, agility and so on. Podencos – whatever type – are not just for hunting or simply a companion dog. Since they are active working dogs, using them for PAT, agility and so on can enhance your ownership of one of these fantastic dogs.
There is a list of associations on Podenco Post which specialise in rescuing and rehoming podencos – please give a thought to offering one a forever home.
This is a sad story of podencos at the bottom of Spain, La Linea, near Cadiz and opposite Gibraltar. Podenco World tells the story of Peter’s Diary, Peter runs the La Linea animal shelter, 600 dogs including 200 podencos.
Pedro’s Diary: Crimes against innocent podencos.
This is why we need to save the podencos, as well as the galgos. Warning, upsetting images. Please don’t turn away, these wonderful dogs need our voices to speak up for them and demand respect and consideration. They are NOT vermin, they are loving sentient creatures.
The story is the same, whether it is galgos or podencos. Innocence is a dog found in Pinar del Rey, a town of Cadiz, with a crushed leg. The vet tried for 2 months to save the leg, but had to amputate in the end. This poor young dog has suffered a lot,is very loving, needs a forever home. He will be microchipped and vaccinated.
