Pet Passport UK - DEFRA relax rules from January 2012

Great news for people travelling dogs between UK and the rest of Europe. From January 2012 DEFRA will bring their rules of entry into the UK, whereby a dog only needs to wait for 21 days after their rabies vaccination, rather than have a blood test and then wait 6 months. Read more about it here

Podenca Linda, exploited, maltreated, dumped in a Seville street

This post is for "SUPER PEOPLE." Please help this little podenca in Seville.

She has been named Linda. Life has obviously been very miserable for her, at the hands of unscrupulous people who have used her for breeding, discarded now. She's been wandering for more than 3 months, disoriented, malnourished, depressed. She's had a blow to the face, no front teeth. She's currently off the street in an empty house but needs to be with someone who will put the life back into her and find her a forever home. Please can someone take this lost soul.

Holidays on Lanzarote - visit SARA Protectora and the podencos

SARA Protectora shelter on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands work very hard to help abandoned dogs and cats, especially podencos. Here is a list of some more of these fabulous dogs, desperately waiting for homes on mainland Europe, which is their only hope of a life outside of the shelter. As I keep saying, these dogs make fabulous companions, Pets as Therapy dogs, agility dogs - if adopted young. And are extremely loyal. Please give them a chance.

Podenco x Frank needs veterinary care - please donate

As with many small refuges, Galgos del Sol struggles for funding to pay for veterinary care and feed for their galgos and podencos. This is one of them, Frank, a podenco x found running up a motorway, starving and frightened. He is approx 1yrs old and fully vaccined and castrated. At present he is too thin. His bloods are negative for leishmania, erlichia and filaria. Frank has a serious food allergy which causes extreme diarrhoea, his pancreas has tested ok and he needs a special food diet. He's now been taken into the vet clinic for further tests, including an endoscopy.

This is going to cost 500 euros, a lot of money, if you can donate towards the cost of Frank's vet fees, you will make a big difference to the life of this young dog. At present we are working with a vet to find a diet that suits him.

Buddies on the streets of Cordoba - please help them

This is the story of two buddies, a collie and a podenca. The collie has spent months wandering around an area of Cordoba. Recently he's been joined by this little podenca. No one wants them, everyone walks buy, occasionally someone throws them a crust.

They are young and don't deserve this life. Can anyone find room to take them in? They both deserve a chance.
