  • 90 podencos of Mogan, Gran Canaria – one year on

    90 podencos Mogan 400 8 2016Do you remember this heartbreaking story? This is the latest update – you will be as heartbroken as me to read that no matter how hard the team try to get some action, they are no further forward.

    ‘These 90 podencos continue today (11-08-2016) in the same situation of abuse after three years after being condemned by a local protective. These images are repeated today in the new location after a metal plates under the sweltering heat because the owner responsible fled to another municipality in the month of December 2015. The matter is now in the hands of the examining court no. 1 of Telde after two and a half years of municipal bureaucracy.

    Sign the petition appealing for their release.

  • Duathlon, 19th March 2016, Clumber Park, Nottingham – Sponsor Team Pepis

    Anca podenca blind 250 8 2015Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera, Seville, has an outstanding vet bill so far of nearly 4,000 euros! That includes sterilization of dogs (the first thing to be done with the arrival of each new dog, to prevent unwanted puppies), vaccinations, dogs needing operations, medication…the list is endless.

    It’s desperate that this bill is cleared and to that end Ellen Stevens and 2 friends have entered the team event in the Duathlon at Clumber Park, Nottingham, on 19th March 2016. If you look on the Youcaring link below, you can read all about it.

    Please sponsor Team Pepis and share widely with family and friends. Let’s raise the total and more if possible. Help Jane and Alan Brian help dogs like blind podenca Anca, in this photo.

  • Help needed for 2 young podencas in Jaen

    Fabienne Lola 3 170
    This is an appeal from Fabienne Thys for help with two young podencas…they need foster and forever homes. Is there anyone who can help. These are their details.

    Lola is living in the courtyard of a member of our association. We think she was pregnant in the summer but she disappeared before having her puppies. She reappeared last month (October) and alone.

    Rubi is literally on the streets. She is being fed by some people but is very scared and hard to be approached. We need help to catch her and for somewhere for her to go in foster to help her adjust to life in a home, as she is in danger on the streets, both from an accident or getting pregnant again. A kennel will be no place for her.

    Both podencas are in Jaen, Southern Spain and contact info is the following:

  • Puerto Mogan, Canary Islands…what the tourists don’t see

    Hundreds of thousands of people flock to the Canary Islands on holiday, whether for summer sun or to escape the cold winters of the UK and Europe. They don’t come into contact with ‘real’ life on the Islands, especially the nightmare for the 85,000+ podencos incarcerated there. Here’s the true reality…Perrera Mogan! Please share.

  • Podencos and cats

    Some podencos live happily with cats, so I would like to share with you these wonderful photos to illustrate this. BUT care should always be taken when introducing the two species. Thank you to Bev Farmer, Natalie van Noten and Flavia Schwarz-Greiter. (Please do not resuse pix without the permission of these ladies)

  • Podenco Pepe – from streets of Valencia to the UK – appealing for a home

    Ciara Pepe sleeping 250This is the heart-wrenching appeal I received this morning.

    My name is Ciara. I am writing to enquire about the possibility of rehoming my Podenco, Pepe, through your website.

    I carried out an internship in Valencia last year, and, long story short, returned to Scotland six months later having rescued a Podenco puppy from the streets, nursed him back to health and brought him home with me. Since then, we have been blissfully happy together, and he’s like my baby. But the bad news is that my circumstances have recently changed. I’m about to graduate from university and have been offered a job in Belfast, which is full-time, and in that instance I will be unable to continue looking after him. It’s not a situation in which to keep a young podenco.

    THE FACTS:
