I can't emphasise enough about the podencos on the Spanish Islands, Canary Islands and Ibiza. Their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe. Please don't overlook these deserving hounds when you are thinking of taking a podenco into your home.
These two beauties are in the care of SARA Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
Milka is about 6 years old, a large podenco canario, and was found abandoned with her sistenr in the volcano on Lanzarote. She's not much of a hunter, prefers to be with people, loving and obediante, walks without being on a lead. A fantastic hound for a companion dog. She is very good and happy

This young boy is only 2 years old, a medium size podenco canario called Pinocho. Found abandoned and starving, he is now gradually putting on weight. He's got all his life in front of him; young enough to train; will be a most loving companion, and will love to go for long walks and to play.

Please contact SARA Protectora direct if you can offer them a home. Some of their podencos are taken for rehoming to the UK by Rick and Lesley Beauchamp
And if you are going on holiday to the Canary Islands, please contact SARA on Lanzarote and TARA Shelter at Mogan on Gran Canaria, and K9 in Tenerife.
Help these animals!
