Podencos with TheKennelKlub, Lanzarote - needing forever homes

The only hope for forever homes for the podencos on Lanzarote, Canary Islands, is for adoption on mainland Europe and across the Atlantic. Here are some beauties safe at the shelter, contact TheKennelKlub direct if you can offer one a forever home.

Laura says - Rifter, Frank, Carmen, Crystel, Lucky and Travis waiting patiently (ish) for home-made peanut butter cookies that Rina made for them. They are all on this page for adoption. https://www.thekennelklub.org/dogs-for-adoption.php

So many podencos waiting for forever homes.

Podenco Agus looking for a forever home.

This is Agus, and Rosana describes him. A Rehala dog is one kept for hiring out to hunters, they generally live on a chain.

This doll is called Agus, he is a podenco of almost two years and of medium size (about 17 kilos). Besides being extremely handsome, he is adorable, calm inside the house (he likes to sleep a lot), sociable with other furry animals and totally cuddly.

His story has been very sad, I will only say that he was a rehala dog ... He has had a lot of anxiety that has overcome it sleeping in his bed next to his host's bed, and thus he sleeps relaxed and happy. He follows his foster mom everywhere and even though he's a little scared, every day is getting better.

Agus seeks RESPONSIBLE adoption, we believe a couple who loves to go on excursions and life outdoors would be good for him because as a good little bit he enjoys it. Do you want to know more about this furry lover?

Want to see more photos and videos ?: Contact Rosana Perez Palacios 0034 638475167, but please share so that he can meet his wonderful family soon.

Update - 90 Mogan Podencos on Gran Canaria - they are out!

Apologies this news is a few months late...facebook has messed up my page and I no longer get updates from some of the podenco and galgo pages I follow.

From the facebook page of 90 Mogan Podencos.

'Across Spain there are several cases where the Civil Guardia confiscates when it appreciates obvious evidence of overcrowding, unsanitary, lack of identification, etc EXCEPT with the 90 Podencos. I can say that the Canary Podenco suffers from the greatest abuse allowed in SPAIN by all the administrations that have delegated, curiously, the protection of these and other animals.

5 4 2020 FINALLY!! Saturday, April 4, 2020, seven years later of the first complaint finally the ′90 podencos′ have been rescued. A total of 84 dogs were taken to the Bathtub hostel in an action involving the Civil Guard, Local Police and animal protector volunteers.

I took this photo back in 2013 when they were in Los Albarianes (Mogán) and I've been so happy to know that one of the survivors is that white and black podenco you see on your left. I feel like this because I always said only for a dog it would be worth so many years of noise. 115,000 signatures on change, radio, etc so they don't forget about them. I put them even with a brand on Google maps so justice doesn't get lost along the way...
