  • Seville – the horror behind the glitter that tourists see

    Seville podenco 4 250 Macu 1 2012There are dozens of unsung heroes in Spain, helping the abandoned dogs and cats, funding much of their care themselves whilst working to earn a living. Macu is one such lady, in Seville. Some of the appeals I have posted on Galgo News and Podenco Post have been from her. Here she explains what she tries to do, and the problems she faces, like so many volunteers breed dogs.

    ‘Good afternoon everybody, I´ll try to summarize.
    In this settlement by Seville there are more or less 20 shacks with 30 dogs each one (with their owners). I´ve spent 3 years of my life there, saving galgos, podencos and mixed dogs none wanted by their owners.

  • Help this little Podenca Andaluz in Seville

    Macu podenca 1 250 12 2011Podenco Andaluz come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large! I have a small, Bebe, she is pocket sized but has THE biggest personality and keeps 5 galgos in order!

    Here’s another very young podenca, now named Conchi-Pepa/Tecla, abandoned, pregnant by a bigger dog. After the puppies, she has been sterlised. She has recovered well from the operation and is in a foster home. But Macu needs help to pay the vet fees, and she desperately needs to find this little podenca her forever home. If you can offer a forever home, please contact Macu. She does an amazing job, keeps these innocent souls at home, or in foster, until someone comes along and can take them. Please, if you can tuck this adorable little Podenca into a corner of your home, next to the fire, contact Macu macu19782010@hotmail.com Mobile Seville 665809169

  • Sightseeing, Seville – not for this podenca

    Hernia 250 08 2011 The first podenca I fostered had been taken to the Jaen perrera by her hunter because she had a hernia the size of a tennis ball. She was rescued and operated on and rehomed in France. Her hernia was nothing like the size of this one.

    As you can see, the little podenca is petrified. She was kept in a hut, but luckily rescued and is now with a vet for urgent operation. She will have to go into a residencia afterwards unless a fostger/convalescence home comes forward. And her operation will need paying for. Please contact Immaculate if you wish to help, ask for copies of the vet bills etc. Use a Spanish translator package like Google or Spanish dict.
