  • World Podenco Day 22nd February – take a podenco into your heart and home

    22nd March is World Podenco Day.

    Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.

    oday, March 22nd, marks World Podenco Day in Spain!
    On this day we pay tribute to a breed that embodies nobility and pride, yet often endures a harsh reality in Spain. Many Podencos are subjected to unimaginable conditions, deprived of the respect they rightfully deserve.

    Tragically, countless Podencos spend their lives confined in dark buildings, underground caves, or chained to walls, with nothing but rancid water to drink. They’re expected to run tirelessly until exhaustion takes its toll, only to be discarded when they’re no longer deemed useful.
    Some brave the streets, while others find themselves in overcrowded shelters with slim chances of adoption. (more…)

  • Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert – saving the podencos in Sevillia

    FBM Bashira 1 250 1 2016Here are stories from Levriers sans Frontieres about 2 podencos, now safe with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert in Seville, and who will eventually come to France for forever homes.

    Here’s the story of the first one, Bashira. After she was found at the roadside, throughout the journey to the shelter, she has not moved, not cried. she is so courageous and yet what she must suffer! She was rushed to the vet for urgent operation. Upon her arrival she was supported by Lillian, the veterinarian at the FBM, who took xrays. The legs are fractured, put in splints whilst waiting for an operation by the orthopedist. Under anaesthetic, her injuries have been disinfected and she was given antibiotic. This tiny podenca is barely a year old, what a terrible start to its life.

  • Foster home urgently needed for Podenco x Aaron

    Pepis Aaron 250 6 2015Please can we find a foster home urgently for pod x Aaron. He is one of over 80 dogs at Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera Seville. Another one dumped at the gates – it happens on a regular basis…dogs come in quicker than can be homed!!

    Here’s what Jane Brian says.
    ‘I wonder if you can help with little guy? I have him living with us in the mobile home and I really don’t want to put him in the refuge.

    He is an amazing puppy, very intelligent and obedient.

    We estimate that Aaron is around five months. He is house trained to a point, he does his big business outside, but still does wee wee inside, he hasn’t grasped that concept as yet.’

    Please contact Jane Brian direct, please help Aaron with either a foster home or, even better, a forever home.

  • Pepis Dog Refuge – ways to help care for 80 dogs!

    There are now about 80 dogs at Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera, Seville. Many of them have been there for months, often since being puppies and dumped at the gates. They are all adorable. Have a look at the wonderful new website on which some of the dogs are listed – you’ll see many are podenco or podenco x. It takes time to add them all, as you can imagine! 80 dogs also cost a lot to feed, so if you can’t offer a dog a forever home, please consider sponsoring one. You’ll find details under ‘Ways to Help‘.
