Fighting for the hunting dogs of Spain

Dogs used in hunting are not second-hand dogs

The lawyer specializing in Animal Law, Dulce Aguilera, explains in this short video the reasons why hunting dogs should not be excluded from the Animal Protection Act. Conducts an excellent legal exposition that is also full of common sense. She is one of the biggest legal advocates of greyhounds, podencos, and in general all dogs intended for hunting (also obviously of other animals). We recommend your viewing.

Gal From Galgos del Sur, we ask the PSOE of Pedro Sanchez not to exclude hunting dogs from the future Animal Protection, Rights and Welfare Act.

To avoid this, we will use all the measures that are within our reach and provided by the legal order. Listen to our lawyer Dulce Aguilera from the office of Justice- Animals & Environment

Dogs see the world through their noses

It's especially important to let blind dogs sniff as that is how they find their way around.

Podenco Friends - more amazing pix from Bev Farmer

Two delightful photos from Bev Farmer - she is the most gifted animal photographer, able to capture very special moments with the podencos in her care. The first one is of Bella and Zorro, as part of a project she is working on. The second - well, there's not much room for Bev in that bed!!

Shelter Dog

Tail Torrox Dog Shelter in Malaga Province - plenty of podencos looking for forever homes

Torrox is on the Costa del Sol but not a place the tourists tend to visit, as it has apartment blocks rather than big hotels. But like most of the rest of Spain it too suffers from too much animal abandonment and that's where the Tail Torrox shelter comes in. Founded in 2008, they currently have plenty of podencos hoping for forever homes, on this page you can read all about them.

This tiny is Mona. Mona came in with her puppies. She is estimated to be born 14.2.2018 and weighs 8.6kg and 40cm in height. She is typical of the breed, shy but sweet and timid with strangers. She plays well with a mixed group of dogs. She has tested positive for leishmaniosis. If you are interested in offering a forever home, email info@tailtorrox.es about her.

Sometimes you just can't keep a podenco in!!

After the previous very sad post, I thought this one would brighten your day.

Whenever a podenco is homed, it's always emphasised that an enclosed area is needed with fencing/walls at least 2m high. In this video you can see that a fence that height is no barrier to a little Podenco Maneto!

Podenco Leo with Galgos 112 - looking for a forever home

Introducing Podenco Leo with Galgos 112

A wonderful and very loving podenco who enjoys the company of people and other dogs, both small and large. He even gets along with geese, and we already know what a character they have!

At the end of the day he falls deep in bed where he recharges the batteries for the next day.

The family that decides to adopt him will enjoy a companion 10.

If you want to adopt Leo, write with your details, location and phone number to info@galgos112.com or send the adoption form that you can find on our website.

Injured podenco in huelva

For all of you who have been following the story of the injured podenco left by the roadside in Huelva, I have been asked by those helping him to hold updates on his progress as, even though he did not have a chip, someone may come forward and try and claim him. Just to say he's in good hands.
