  • Surrounded by Podencos…adopt one

    Janice Ball pods 1 250Another lovely rehoming story, from Janice Ball, who proves that podencos are addictive – you can’t have just one, you need more!

    The story of how I came to own 4 Podencos is down to me joining facebook, until then I had never heard of a Podenco! I started to see them on various rescue sites and then I spotted Suzi who had been in kennels for over 2 years and no one had enquired about her, she really touched my heart strings and I just fell in love with her. I adopted her there and then and she came over in 2013. She has been with me now a year and she is the prettiest most loving dog ever who greets all her fellow brothers and sisters every morning with kisses and licks. She loves all people and dogs but is not too keen on cats or birds as she sees these as something to chase as she has almost certainly done a bit of hunting at some point in her past life in Spain.

  • Podenco Aron – happily rehomed

    Aron 2 Laura Kate Stone 250Laura Kate Stone adopted Aron, a podenco orito. Here she tells his story.

    ‘Aron was a stray, taken to a pound in Cuenca. The pound was too many dogs over the limit and so Aron was on the destroy list. Tina a lady on holiday there from Sweden who has adopted many spanish dogs sponsered Aron into boarding, and was sorted out by the amazing Beverley Farmer.

    I was looking for a sighthound as I had always wanted one, to go with our Collie, and ended up on a site advertising dogs for various rescues. Aron had been associated with SOS Animals UK and that is where I saw him.
