  • Arrecife, Lanzarote – SARA Protectora Podenco Publicity Day!

    SARA Lanzarote even 190t 24 11 2012I’m catching up on posts, as have been away on holiday for a week with my son and grandsons. Here’s a marvellous event which is much needed in the Canary Islands where the podencos have a very hard life, and local people need to know what marvellous pets they can make.

    SARA Lanzarote are organising an event on 24th November at Arrecife, and hope that it’s not too late for podenco associations elsewhere and on mainland Spain to organise something at the same time. Here’s the report from SARA Lanzarote.

She is now in a mini-refuge where she is receiving good care but she´s getting fat everyday and she will be sterilized when the problem of the puppies is over. See some videos of her, she is really cute. If you are interested in fostering or adopting her, contact Lourdes.

  • Happy Endings Final Feliz – Fabi waits with them for a forever home

    Fabi 1 Eva Happy Ends 250 1 1 2012This is an appeal from Happy Endings Final Feliz in Chiclana near Cadiz. Last winter friends of mine spent a couple of months there helping the association with abandoned dogs and looking after them. They came back with two puppies which had been born to an abandoned podenca; now named Oliver and Nancy, the puppies are benefiting from being in a home environment, although Nancy continues to be nervous of strangers.

    Fabi is another such young dog, whose mother was a Podenca. Karen takes up his story.

    ‘He’s been waiting for nearly a year for someone to take him into their heart. He’s around 3 years old and is a very sweet dog.

  • Podenco Caramello – waiting in Murcia for his forever family

    Caramello_ears_up 190 Tina 11 2011Look at this fabulous podenco, and no one has asked for him! He’s hoping he might have a forever home for his Christmas present. Here’s his story from Tina at Galgos del Sol.

    Caramello, originally called Naranja, was living rough and very underweight. Local residents were feeding him until we could get to him. Although fairly easy to catch, getting him into the car to take to the vets was a different matter, he was so frightened.
