Galgos Rescue Almeria - a podenco with a special problem

I was recently asked to help a small shelter in Almeria who rescue mainly galgos and podencos. They struggle to raise funds to pay for the many vet fees as most of the dogs arrive with health problems. At the moment there is a galga just arrived and diagnosed witn Leishmania and Ehrlichia.

Here's a story about a podenco with a special health probem.

Podenco Balu with Ann's Canine Care, Malaga - still waiting and waiting

From Ann.

'It really saddens me that for 2yrs Balu is still with me looking for his forever home. He was offered a home in early February, but this was on condition of a house sale which hasn't happened. So if you wouldn't mind, I really need your help to share him for me His best friend Muttley is going to his forever home next week so he's going to feel a bit lost without him. Balu is such a good dog and deserves so much better. Currently in Southern Spain, but can travel. Totally prepared for adoption, and healthy.'

Protectora Scooby - saving the needy hounds

'Elderly dogs, with tumors, with Leishmania or extremely thin... When we rescue animals we do it because they need help and because we’re worried about the fate that might await them without it.

We don’t choose them for their color, size or age, nor do we care if they’re healthy or sick ... We don’t select which dogs to help, we don’t think about whether they’re more or less beautiful or sociable, we don’t even consider if they will be easily adopted or if no one will want to give them a home and they’ll have to spend the rest of their lives with us in the shelter. None of that matters ...

In Scooby we are animal lovers and our main goal is to help the ones most in need as they also deserve the best life possible.

Podenco dumped in garbage truck!

'Terrible! They find a podenco about to be crushed by the garbage truck in Alcanar (Tarragona). Some heartless bastard got rid of him by throwing it into a container.

Fortunately there are also many good people willing to help him and welcome him. Thank you aGOSaGATs for saving his life!

Podenca Rene - rescued and needing foster to recover from op

Foster home needed urgently for injured podenca.

'We introduce you to René, who had the bad fortune to cross the road, being run over. The luck she had is that the person of the vehicle, he immediately contacted us and the police, and was attending her until the police quickly took her from there to the vet. Since Sunday, she has been debating between life and death, but luckily, it seems to improve.

She has a fractured hip, so she must keep absolute rest. She also had the Perforated Bladder, but the operation has been carried out and improves every day.

She needs a quiet place where she can recover, a small room where she can't move in large spaces and rest until she heals.

Therefore, we ask you maximum dissemination to find her a welcome. We can't take her to the police officers, in no way and we have no shelter.'

Portuguese Podengo Jacinta - deserves a loving forever home

From Dogs of Portugal, such a sad story.

'Jacinta was found on the street, she came to us as a young dog. She was quickly adopted (together with Yuki) and… returned after 3 years. The owners are moving to another country and they say they will live in a small apartment. So they are not taking their dogs with them.

But we realise we should not expect them to care for their dogs. They have neglected them from day 1. When the dogs were returned to us we asked for the books of vaccinations and they said they lost them. “But the dogs were vaccinated!”. We insisted on giving the address of the vet so we could confirm this fact. They indicated “their vet”. The vet is question said they they only saw the dogs once, a few months earlier, when the owners brought them to be euthanized because they were leaving the country. The vet refused to euthanize healthy dogs for that reason. They were never vaccinated there.'
