    Macu old podenca 400 6 2012
    News from Macu, in Seville. ‘Look at this little old girl – about 12 years old! She’s with another 15 dogs living in a shack, waiting to be moved to a kennels. It would be marvellous if she could spend her last few years in comfort. She weights less than 10k, is very gentle. Is there anyone who could take her, if I get her out? I’ve already got 16 in a kennels which I am paying for? What I need is an association which could take her and get her adopted’.

    APASA Pampa 200 4 2012I’ve just been pointed in the direction of APASA, Javea, originally a dog pound which was taken over and for a few years has been privately run. It’s in Javea, on the Costa Blanca. You can read about their work on the above link.

    They also have about 50 podencos waiting for adoption, have a look at these beauties by clicking on ‘Podencos’ on the right hand side of the page (there isn’t a direct weblink) (This one is Pampa) They are all hoping someone somewhere will offer them a forever life in a home. Some of these dogs have been in the shelter for most of their lives, some of them for nearly 10 years!

  • Huesca perrera – dozens of podencos hoping for a home

    Huesca perrera Katy 1 yr 250 2 2012Huesca is a small city in north eastern Spain, in the province of Aragon. It’s not a province with galgo hunting, rather hunting with podencos. If you don’t know the podenco breed, then read all about them, and the different types, on Podenco Post.

    Like the galgos, podencos are not a breed which are often adopted by the Spanish but, also like the galgos, they make fabulous companion dogs. There are dozens of them in the Perrera of Huesca, waiting to find out what life has in store for them. The photos are on Facebook, for those of you who use Facebook The person to contact at the perrera is the vet, joseabarca@internacionalplayers.comand the person you have to talk to if you want to know something about the dogs and if you want to reserve any. There are a lot of podencos there who need help. Here are somebetween 6 – 12 months old.

    She has been named Linda. Life has obviously been very miserable for her, at the hands of unscrupulous people who have used her for breeding, discarded now. She’s been wandering for more than 3 months, disoriented, malnourished, depressed. She’s had a blow to the face, no front teeth. She’s currently off the street in an empty house but needs to be with someone who will put the life back into her and find her a forever home. Please can someone take this lost soul.
