Zaragoza killing station – podencos desperately needing rescue
The hunting season is now over and hunters are getting rid of their '4-footed tools'!
These are the Perricos to be slaughtered in a few days at the Zaragoza perrera. This is the appeal I received'We are only two volunteers who have many dogs in kennels which we pay the fees and we can't take any more dogs. We have all this responsibility on our shoulders and we desperately need adopters for the dogs in our care, and more so we need special people who can rescue these young podencos before they are sacrificed in a few days.

Podencos – victims of Spanish hunters – hear their plea
The following stories have come in showing the unnecessary cruelty which hunters will inflict on their dogs when they are no longer of use nor wanted. The first podenco was the victim of being hung by a steel belt! The old one was abandoned at a petrol filling station, searching for food. The third one – well, you can see the terrible condition, how long had this poor podenco been on the streets of La Cazalla (70km from Seville), with no food. La Linea at Cadiz is one of the shelters which has hundreds of these dogs, all deserving a forever home.
And two tiny podenco puppies in the Seville perrera! If you can help them, contact perrosurgentes@hotmail.com

However, the Spanish interior including the region of Extremadura is also hell on earth for galgos and podencos. Here is a report from Fepaex – Federacion de Protectoras de Animales de Extremadura.
THE PROBLEM for HUNTING DOGS in EXTREMADURA = Irresponsible HUNTERS + passive and complicit

BEBE – a Podenca Andaluz – rescued injured from a Seville motorway
Bebe is my miniature Podenca Andaluz. Here is her story.
Bebe was found, traumatised with fear, starving and dumped on a Seville autoroute. She had been badly injured by a vehicle and her left hind leg damaged to such an extent that she could not walk on it. She was rescued by a volunteer from an animal refuge and taken to her home. The following day, a vet at the refuge clinic diagnosed a badly dislocated hip and other wounds to her body from the accident. Her age was put at between 3-6 years old.
