Seville, Spain - dogs dumped before holidays!

Holidays are a terrible time around the world for people dumping their dogs before they go on holiday. This is in Spain.

SEVILLA!!!! Holidays are here and we are full of dogs. They are all cheap excuses for heartless people who don't give a fuck about the animal. This poor wretch only 3 months old and his "family" threatens to take him to the perrera, at best, at worst he'll end up in a garden or in the ditch of a road. They don't pay travel or take him anywhere, imagine what the puppy cares.

Podenca terrified to death!

Whatever can have been done to this poor podenca to make her so terrified of life. Hopefully someone will come forward and rescue her from the Baza-Granada perrera!

Video

She is so terrified she does not get up from the ground, totally submissive, cradled with fear, how much has she been beaten to an inch of her life?! The perrera or shelter is not a place for her, the cries and howls she hears scare her more and more.

Please, someone help, she has already suffered enough

Salva un podenco Gran Canaria - desperate for a forever home -

The only hope for the Canary Islands podencos for forever homes is on mainland Europe or across the Atlantic. Please share this little beauty or even adopt her if you have room in your home and heart for her. So deserving.

'KARIN. She's been with us since a puppy, we picked her up about three months and she had canine parvovirosis.
She finally recovered and has grown up in several foster homes. She is eleven months old and is still looking for a family for the rest of her life.

She is sociable with people and dogs, with cats we don't know. Active, playful and loves walks.

Ideal would be a family with some other dogs and no small children as she is boisterous playing with them.

Will you help us find her a forever home?

Spanish shelters - Zero killing

Great news. But that means even more dogs in shelters! Now Spain needs a law for compulsory neutering of dogs and cats and handcuffing the hunters for overbreeding.

Akira Dog Santuary - Podenco Charlie still waiting for a forever home

Charlie was brought to the shelter in a terrible condition. He was so skinny and he was so depressed he had almost given up just sitting and not moving or eating. The team persevered with him to give him all he needed and slowly he relaxed enough to start eating. Charlie is still a little underweight but he is starting to gain and it continue at a healthy pace.

How long to crate a dog?

https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/crating-dogs/

Article in The Guardian.

One woman, Nina Torres, reckons it's fine for most adult dogs to be in a crate “nine hours maximum” during the day (with a walk in the middle), and then eight hours at night.

I cannot believe anyone would condone incarcerating a dog for most of the 24 hours of its life!! I'm with PETA!

Podenca Asia - stunning hound with Refugio Kimba hoping for a forever home

Another simply stunning podenca with Refugio Kimba in Chiclana, Cadiz.

Asia is looking for a home, we rescued her in the middle of nowhere, alone and very thin, but she immediately trusted us.
While at the shelter she had to be urgently taken to the vet, as she came in contact with a processionary caterpillar and inflated like a balloon, it was a difficult few days for her and for Petra, her foster home, but she slowly recovered.

We were always watching her paw, since sometimes she limped, but we decided to monitor it. She has finally been operated on and had to remove one finger, she is living completely normal, the pain is gone and she is an even happier character.

She is 3 years old and 19 kilos, despite being a hibiscus podenco, she is not very big. She is very good with children, other dogs and people, loving, intelligent, obedient and has a great personality.

Vestibular disease in dogs

A vestibular problem is more likely to manifest itself in older dogs. If you notice your dog's behaviour changing - balance, head tilting - then this could be a possibility.
