  • Podenco Portuguese puppies – waiting for forever homes

    Wanda and puppies 190 4 2015Here is a story about an abandoned podenca – an all too common story in Spain.

    I am a Canadian living in Valencia, Spain for the past 2 years. I have been overwhelmed by the stray dog crisis in this country. I have tried to help in different way and ended up adopting 4 large dogs that now are happy living with me

    Last week, we found a Podengo Portuguese 2 blocks from my place in an empty area. She had given birth to 6 puppies and was always barking when anybody got close. We started visiting daily and taking food to her and the pups. We finally decided to go in and catch her, who was very protective of her puppies and with the help of professional rescuers we got them all.

  • Valencia perrera – female podencos on death row

    Valencia femalelessthan1year 250 whiteandredapril2013I’m now back home at my main computer and can post the photos of the 8 podencos currently in the perrera at Valencia. This little lady is not yet a year old! All females, the only male was saved a couple of weeks ago and also a white female. The black one is very unusual but sadly on CESE which is fast track to killing – on the instructions of the owner! All are very young, a couple are under a year old! Details of costs needed to save them, and also to pay kennel fees.

    Many of you helped contribute towards saving some other podencos which are now all in kennels. Funds are needed to pay for the kennels and pet passports. Contact Dominique and Anke if you want to contribute.
