  • 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.
