Podenco Tatoo - left for dead - lucky to be alive

A tragic story...let's get Tatoo a forever family for a happy ending.

'TATOO was run over and left lying in the gutter without noticing if he was alive or dead. It was winter, cold days and nonstop rain. Two days later, it occurred to them to stop by and see what had been the dog and there he was... and alive!! The truth is that he was deader than alive, unconscious, with an open fracture of the front leg with his bone out , famished... It's been many tough months in a house but he's ready to find him a family. He's a good, calm and happy dog. We don't know if he will regain foot functionality, but that affects him very little for his running around!

Podenco Enzo in Seville - hoping for a forever home

Asociacion Amores Incondicionales

'Meet ENZO video

Our precious little podenquito is still waiting for home. His siblings have gone and he's all alone. He's full of love, gentle, noble.

Enzo is only 2 years old. Who can resist those eyes?..; He has a look that falls in love. We rescued him with a lot of fear but look how far he has advanced! He already trusts us! He is very affectionate and curious. He gets along great with other dogs and is very playful.

He would be ideal for a family that already has sociable and balanced dogs to help him in adaptation.

He walks very well on a leash. He is healthy, vaccinated and neutered.
Ready to go to a wonderful home with a family as special as he is.

He is in SEVILLA but for adoption he can travel

Alone and unwanted in Toledo

So sad, the lot of many failed hunting podencos.

'Hello! This two-year-old dog is another hunting victim. Not good for hunting because she's scared of shots. Therefore, she is doomed to spend the rest of her life isolated and alone in this room, it is the only thing she will see in her life if we do not find a better place. Please if anyone can find her a better home, a foster or a family that wants to give her a chance don't hesitate to write to me. It's in a town in Toledo, but could travel. She has all the vaccines up to date and no donation is asked for it. She's very sweet and good, she deserves a chance.'

Molly The Pet Detective

I want to share with you an amazing book I am currently reading. 'Molly The Pet Detective' by Colin Butcher is the story of a working cocker spaniel rescue dog which has been trained to find missing cats!

Colin Butcher is a retired UK policeman who chose a project to see if a dog could be trained to find missing cats. It's the story of how he researched the idea, the help he got from Medical Detection Dogs both in finding the right dog and training both her and himself.

The book also tells the stories of missing cats Molly found, as well as missing dogs, the latter sadly a growing problem in the UK.

If you have lost a pet or know anyone who has, you will know the pain and distress experienced. This weblink takes you to the website for The Pet Detectives. Please support them.

Aggression in dogs - what are the causes?

Our galgo Bracken has been with us for 11 years; he has always been a sensitive dog, happy in the pack of hounds and walking the meadows every day...on leash, as he has a hunter's nose! However, since we sold the farm in January 2021 and downsized back to the UK, he has caused us concern by showing aggression to other dogs.

This link takes you to an extensive article on the causes of aggression in dogs.

In Bracken's case, we guess there are a few causes.

Every Podenco deserves a happy forever home

Podenco Theo now safe at Podenco Friends

This is the second of the 3 podencos which arrived with Bev Farmer, Theo came with Carmela.

Theo .. new arrival.

He is one of the three that arrived on Monday a smaller Podenco only 9 kilos already very much settled in.

On his visit to vets for bloods etc Bruno also does a thorough check of him. Then the words he has luxation of the patella but not one both of them. So it looks like Theo will be with us for a few months he needs surgery on both knees and then rehab. At the moment he is racing around but left will cause him problems in the future.

Not what we expected but thank goodness my vets are on the ball .. It’s been a challenging week all 4 of the new arrivals need additional veterinary care .. Will be keeping me busy the next few weeks

Podenca Carmela with Podenco Friends

From Bev Farmer

'New arrival ..Carmela. Earlier this week 3 Podencos arrived at the Finca. Working together with Michael Owens of SHUG they came from another rescue.

Carmela is 10 years old ... we have her original passport, a senior Podenco abandoned after many years of loyal service and giving birth to many puppies.

You could not wish to meet a more gracious and sweet natured dog. Loving, gentle, kind are just a few words that describe her. She has recently gone through a major surgery and has some health issues we need to address but she is very bright and happy and greets you with a waggy tail.

For now she is comfortable and settled, she is booked in to see our vet. Will update once we have more information.'

Galgos Rescue Almeria - update on China and Volcan

From Sandy Galgoslover

'If animals could speak they could tell what happened.

China’s muzzle is hurt and both seem to have been kicked because they are limping a bit. We’re so grateful that the FB post of China’s & Volcan’s disappearance was shared so many times. Normally Pods are very active but they are very quiet now, probably both are still affected by what happened. Fortunately their tails still wag when we talk to them, it means they haven’t lost their trust in us. Now they need to go to the vet for a checkup.
