  • Podenco Spirit with Refugio la Candela – showing his fighting spirit

    In the middle of October a young podenco was spotted running terrified around a highway in Badajoz with a very serious injury to his mouth – in short, the whole of his lower jaw was missing! He was rushed to the veterinary hospital for emergency treatment. Below you will see photos – not all pleasant – but rest assured Spirit, as the podenco has been named – is fighting to survive and eventually the surgeons will rebuild a lower jaw for him. So far vet fees paid are 800 euros but obviously the repair and rehabilitation of Spirit will cost considerably more. If you wish to make a donation, paypal refugiolacandela@gmail.com.
