  • Have you room in your home for these Spanish beauties?

    Reina nose 04 2011 250 Two more podencos desperately needing help.

    This is Reina, an Ibizan Podenca, probably no more than a year old. She appeared at Easter on the streets of Valencia. She has been rescued and is currently in a foster home. She is sweet and loving, submissive at the moment but with care and love, her character will emerge.

  • Beautiful podenco Bo – waiting for his forever family – can you help?

    Bo 2 04 2011 250 Here’s another podenco desperately waiting for his forever family.

    ‘Hi all, I’m Emi. Arantxa, a volunteer from the kennel Etxauri. This is Bo, who who loves and does not understand how nobody has even noticed him.

    BO came in August 2009 from a seedy kennel in Valencia. His kennelmate Scooby died, and Bo was alone and sad. We rescued him from there 2 years ago and he is still waiting in our kennels, but why? Bo is a hound, Ibizan and Portuguese. Beautiful, noble, good and happy in essence, loves to walk in the mountains and is obedient and loyal. Bo needs a home, but mostly, Bo deserves a family.’

  • Zaragoza killing station – podencos desperately needing rescue

    Podenca Zaragoza 1 08 2011 250 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.
