Look at this adorable little chap. Jaquie Dias writes his story.
‘Young Podengo aged between 1-2 years, small size (less than 10 kgs in weight), super sweet, loves life, people and other animals. Was found after he was hit by a car after wandering through the streets for days. Some special people rescued him and he has been treated and cared for by a foster family but he needs a home. Ready for adoption right now. Location Portugal – contact: jb.dias18@gmail.com
Two beautiful Portuguese Podengos needing forever homes. From Jackie Dias.
‘A friend of mine recently rescued this Podengo mother and her son. The mother (see pic)is a young adult and the youngster male is about 5/6 months old we think. They are placed in the north of Portugal close to Porto. Please contact: Jackie Dias jb.dias18@gmail.com if you can give either of them a place in your home and your heart.
Here’s the story of Tom, a Portuguese Podengo x rescued and now with Many Tears Rescue in Wales. He’s looking for his forever family, along with another 9 Podencos – all in the UK in foster. June writes.
‘Learning to be loved:
With all your help we have been able to save a number of dogs that were all going to die on the streets of Portugal.
These dogs have been doing really well, some are now in permanent homes, whilst others are still awaiting their special day!
om made his way to my family. Tom is a happy go lucky kind of a guy, but even with his chirpy character and live life to the full attitude you can still see that his soul
bears scars of his former life! He truly believed that hands were a source of pain and something to be feared, he has been with me just under three weeks now and is just starting to understand that hands can make food and toys appear. If you moved too
swiftly he would whimper believing a smack was coming his way!
Read all about this stunning Portuguese Podengo, what his videos. There must be someone for him.
Dogs of Portugal have this fabulous little Portuguese Podengo waiting for his forever home. Wouldn’t it be great if he got one for his Xmas present. Read about him on this link and see the videos of him. Let’s help this lovely hound.
Look at this gorgeous little Portuguese Podenco – she was lucky to be rescued, Portugal has a bad record for canine suffering. She deserves to live the rest of her life with a family. Please contact Dogs of Portugal if you can help her.
(Photo right of Zara – a Portuguese Podengo puppy) It’s a nightmare for podencos, dozens on death row in the perreras. Dozens more saved and needing forever homes. What is overlooked is that there are podengos in Portugal – yes, Portuguese Podengos (not a typing error!). They too suffer cruelty. Here are five which have been rescued and need forever homes. Jackie writes about them.
‘I wanted to ask if you could help us at all with a situation of a very good friend of mine who lives here in the north of Portugal and who recently rescued 5 podengos. Just to show you who they are:
This beautiful podenco is Vigo and he lives in Portugal. He was rescued from a bad shelter where there were a lot of sick dogs. Vigo had it all…. Leishmaniose, heartworm, skin problems etc. A foster home was found for him and the money raised to pay for all the veterinary treatment he needed. He’s been there since September. He has recovered fully from all his ailments and is ready for adoption. The vet thinks he is about 7 years old.
If you can offer Vigo the forever home he deserves, please contact Antoinette.
