Podencos Eloy and Camilo - still invisible in kennels after 3 years!

From Polly Matthewson.

URGENT! ELOY & CAMILO HAVE BEEN INVISIBLE FOR 3 YEARS IN KENNELS. SPECIAL HELP DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR TWO LOVELY BROTHERS. Please read on to offer adoption or share if you can. Thank you.

These two handsome podenco brothers Camilo and Eloy are losing their lives living year after year in what amounts to a cage. They have been invisible in kennels in rural Spain now for over 3 years. We are looking for a loving and very dog-experienced adoptive family who would like to take these extremely timid boys to their heart and gently, patiently help them blossom and be happy, as they so deserve.

Podencos imprisoned and starving! Now rescued.

Thank goodness for the Brit who followed his nose and discovered these 4 podencos on short chains in a disused building. Hopefully the owner of the dogs will now be heavily fined and imprisoned. Read the full story here.

Bikejoring with rescued podencos!

Hope you can see this video, from facebook. These are 2 rescued podencos adopted through Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends, doing bikejoring. It's more than just a case of getting on a bike and tying them in front, they need to be trained to run ahead, as with canicross.

Update on Podenco Spirit, with Refugio Candela

Update 2 4 2019

'We are with Spirit in Lepanto Veterinary Center, Veterinary Traumatology

For weeks we have observed that the mucosal tissues that covered the prosthesis implanted at Valencia Sur Veterinary Hospital were retracting, leaving the irons more and more visible. This situation is quite uncomfortable for him: so we have to look for an immediate solution.

Both veterinary teams are in contact and we all have our eyes, ears and hearts wide open.

We are going to look for the best solution for him: above all so that he does not lose his quality of life, so that he does not have to go back to eating pureed food... so that he can continue to be a happy dog.

Wish us all the luck that this blonde with honey eyes deserves ...'

Can dogs eat honey?

It's a well known fact that natural honey is good for the health and well-being of humans. Is it the same for dogs? Here's an article on the subject.

Axarquia Animal Rescue - podenco for adoption

Hey there! I’m Minnie the Pod!

I’m a cool and street wise little girl as me and my bestie Scooby were on the streets until some nice people came to catch us. Well it took them some time, because we didn’t know that nice people exist you see, so we ran away from them…

My pal Scooby was taken to safety first and then the next day they came to find me too, can you imagine the happiness when we were reunited in this wonderful kennel of happy dogs. Now we are getting love, care and good food.

Soon I’m going to be healed and I have started dreaming of a real home and family… Someone who would love me forever like I would… Never again throw me on the street.

Are you there somewhere? Please look me up at AAR and ask Marja who is taking care of my adoption.

How to train your dog off-leash

Many people can walk their galgos and podencos off leash. Unfortunately mine have strong hunting instincts and as we live on a farm with meadows full of birds, hares, feral cats and the neighbouring ones have sheep in, we can never walk ours off leash.
