  • Braveheart – ACTIN in action again

    Valiente 1 250 14 5 2015Less than a week ago (May 2015) one of Actin’s team was contacted and asked to investigate this terrible case; a dog tied up on a chain in a hidden cave in a horrible town in Murcia where animals are treated like garbage…

    On arrival they found this most pathetic and sad sight and because of what he suffered they named him Valiente, (Brave). Valiente attached to a short chain, old, skinny, sick and hardly able to move, the saddest of souls. He was about to give up, the rescuers were just in time to help him – before he succumbed to his life of misery.

    Valiente is about 10 years old, so sad to think someone had him living this hell for all his life and caused him to be in such pain and endure such suffering. His condition as diagnosed by the vet; arthritis atrophy, osteoarthritis atrophy, cachexy, and sclerosis in the eye, amazingly he is not positive for leishmania.

  • Podenca Fortuna – let’s make her fortunate – find her forever home.

    Fortuna Marcella 250 5 2015This is Fortuna, only a year old, taken from a hunter as she was in danger. She is already spayed and is about 40 cm. She is great with other animals, children and people. She is a lovely little Spanish Podenco.

    There are hundreds and hundreds of gorgeous podencos like Fortuna, in foster and refuges. Adopt one of these, and you make room for a podenco in a perrera. ADOPT a refuge/foster dog.

    Let’s find Fortuna a family of her own, she is gorgeous.

  • The story of Clare – The Crazy Dog Lady!

    Clare Roberts Me & Alma dog show 250Many of you kindly donated to Clare to help her pay for the surgery needed for Podenco Angel, badly injured in a road accident. Sadly he gave up his fight for life in the morning of 5th November, with Clare’s loving arms around him. Here Clare tells the story of the other canines in her life.

    ‘I have 33 dogs. Should I repeat that? Yes, 33 dogs! Don’t ask me how it happened, it just did!! It wasn’t a choice, it wasn’t planned, it just ‘is’.

    I split up with my partner back in December 2011, and moved into a log cabin with my little Spanish mish-mash butterfly dog, Mama, and my large Siberian Husky, Blue. A nice little family group, don’t you think?! Then I had the bright idea of adopting a large dog for security, as I had loads of garden and a decent sized house, so no problem with space and I would feel more secure.

  • Podencos in Murcia waiting for forever homes

    Solo shade 1 250As usual, my recent visit to Spain was full of action and, even better, rescued dogs! You can read about my visit to ACTIN on this link. From there I spent a couple of days with Bev and Warren and their 26 podencos at the finca they recently moved to. Most of the podencos are waiting for their forever homes, including Solo and Carina. Little puppy Sky and his best buddy Rembrandt already have adoptions arranged, as does Dave and little Maneto Lily. Please contact Bev if you would like more information on her podencos. She will shortly have a website where you can see them all.

    Enjoy this video of some of the podencos at play.

  • Podenco Andaluz Solo – seeking his forever home and family

    Bev Solo 1 250 7 2013Introducing handsome podenco Solo, who is with Bev Farmer. He’s desperate for a family and a loving home to call his own for the rest of his life. Can you find a place for him? Bev Farmer describes his character.

    ‘This is Solo he has been at Pepis Refuge since he first wandered into their gates as a puppy back in 2008.

    For some reason no one has shown any interest in him, it’s such a shame that he has not had a family of his own for 5 years.

    To help out Solo has come to us and he is a super Podenco very friendly loves to play with the other dogs very quick to learn and wants to please. He is a really affectionate dog and not a loner and at night time he sits on Warre’sn lap while Warren’s drinking a beer or two.

    I think he will be brilliant at agility and we will start with some training with him. He has his passport up to date vaccinations, blood tested and negative and is castrated. Thank you to Beryl who sponsored Solo and organised for him to travel to us.

    To adopt Solo please email me; podencofriends@hotmail.co.uk‘
