We sometimes question the wisdom of spending valuable and scarce resources on saving very sick or injured animals but, given the choice, I’m sure we would all make the effort. How many lovely stories have we read about hounds saved – Esperanza, Alphonso, Ulysees, and now Miel. Here is a wonderful story about a blind podenco in Portugal, rescued sick, starving, injured and blind from a major road. Aanifeira gave her a chance – here’s her story.

Albacete perrera, Spain – over 200 dogs due to be pts now!
Last week I posted a comment from a volunteer in Spain, that many perreras kill ALL the dogs in August, because they want to close down completely for the holidays. Well, Albacete Perrera is going to do just that. Over 200 dogs are due to be pts any time now! Several of them are beautiful young podencos.
L’Europe des Levriers is the French association with whom I have travelled to Spain on many rescue missions. One of the refuges they work with is in Albacete. But they can’t cope with this massive programme of euthanasia.
If there any associations who can help with taking any of the podencos, please contact Alicia on edl.alicia@gmail.com

Seville – looking for somewhere to stay? So is this little podenco
And another in Seville – a 4 months old podenco puppy left in the street, wandering lost. I won’t print the rest of the message from Macu, because she’s really let rip at the people who do this – leave a little puppy to fend for itself on the street.
Macu is asking for an association to come forward urgently and take the little podenco so that he can be fostered and adopted and spend the rest of his life loved.

Tripod Podenca Ana – racing on the beach – anyone help her pup chloe?
Remember Ana, rescued in Ana, Spain, in November 2012. Here’s a wonderful video showing that a tripo does not need to be handicapped by a leg missing!
Amazing Ana. http://youtu.be/WU_LK9VrHbs Enjoy a tripod tearing around on the sands of the beach… Amazing Ana!
Some time back Ana came to us from Valencia, another down and out podenca tossed out, no longer needed. No long er required and so, left to her devices she roamed the lands. She fed herself and did the best she could. At some point either before tossed out, or after, she succumbed to a terrible break in a hind leg, an infected bone which reinfected, and reinfected.

Cuenca Dog Pound – Urgent Appeal to save 100 dogs
Urgent Appeal from Cuenca – here’s the link to the Cuenca podencos – there has now been an inspection at the Cuenca Dog Pound and the authorities say there are 100 dogs too many and if they don’t find homes for them asap, then they will be killed.
Urgent appeal to save the lives of 100 dogs. Oscar writes from Cuenca;
‘Milagros from the Cuenca Dog Pound just informed me that the Inspection has been at the pound and that they “counted” 100 dogs too many. Therefore it is extremely urgent to get 100 (ONE HUNDRED) dogs out of there.

Podenco Julian – from Spain to America forever
Another happy ending for a deserving podenco. Bon Voyage Julian.
‘This little fellow is Julian the Podenco. Last October a Canadian lady named Robin Waldman visited two shelters in Spain. One was suggested by GRIN, near Sevilla, called FBM (Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert). Robin volunteered there and soon met a galgo named Iker that she decided would come back home with her in the Spring.
In the meantime she also met a Podenco named Julian who also won her heart. He had been waiting for so long, no one asked for him.
