Huesca, Zaragoa - can anyone help Chiqui

I've received this plea from a volunteer about a podenco x who is in Huesca perrera. He was attacked by another dog and has an injured leg. Susanna desperately wants to get him out, but the refuges and fosters are full. Can anyone help her? You can write to her using Google translate into Spanish - that's how she wrote to me in English!

My name is Susan and I write from Spain to ask for your help. I apologize if I do not write well. I used the internet translator because I have only a little English.

I have attached a photo of Chiqui. He is a x podenco in the perrera of Huesca (Zaragoza). He is 4 years old and is a very good dog, very friendly, cheerful and has a fantastic character.

Little Podenco Andaluz Billy in Seville - waiting for his forever family

Do you remember sweet little Podenco Andaluz pup Billy, rescued from a galguero? He's now 5 months old, healthy and happy in his foster home - he loves water and is ideal for a home with someone who likes sports, as he's an active little chap. He's the small type Andaluz, very smart and very funny; no problem living with other dogs and loves people. He really needs a forever family to love him for the rest of his life. If you would like to be considered, contact Carmina in Seville, who speaks excellent English. (There's a video of him here, if you can open it. Billy.mp4 - I'm no good on these things!!)

Little podenco Noa rescued from a living hell - inhuman hunter again!

This is little Noa, a podenco of 1 year old. He was found with his mother and another pup in terrible conditions. His moma was in a state of extreme neglect, skeletal, bleeding, with an impressive pyometra, abused, among her excrement, lying there with babies and trampled by more hounds in a shed where this hunter was breeding and selling for hunting!!

The hunter wanted the baby sacrificed and said it was worthless, some babies died,,, no wonder .. and this poor little one has been struggling for his life, was in a state of extreme thinness, malnourished, unable to suck his mom, who had problems breathing and bleeding and mastitis...

SARA Protectora, Lanzarote - podencos find homes in the Czech Republic

I try hard to remind people that the podencos in the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands have a very tough time. Even worse, their main chance of a forever life outside of the shelters, where they are well looked after and never put down, is to be adopted on mainland Europe. Here's wonderful news from SARA Protectora on Lanzarote. and please remember, if you are holidaying especially on Lanzarote, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, go along to the local dog shelters and support the volunteers who work tirelessly to help the islands' abandoned and unwanted.

Have a chuckle!

7 dogs abandoned in an olive grove in Jaen - urgent help needed

This appeal just in from a volunteer in Jaen, about 7 dogs abandoned in an olive grove, one of them a podenco. Here's what she says, which I think illustrates the frustration and despair sometimes felt by the volunteers who feel they are battling against the odds so much of the time.

'Subject: Urgent dogs abandoned in an olive grove in BAILÉN (JAÉN)!!!
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15: 22:

Yesterday came a man to tell me that in an olive grove on the outskirts of Bailen, were 7 abandoned dogs. when I arrived I found a beagle, bodeguero family including 2 pups and podenco, and a xbreed. There was also a black galgo but it was dead.

These dogs are in a very dangerous area, near a Gypsy neighborhood.

I need the help of protectoras and individuals to save the lives of these dogs.

Podenca Jazzy - victim of a vicious attack

Bev Farmer lives in Spain and has a wealth of experience both as a podenco owner, a foster mom of podencos and also training podencos. Earlier this week, one of her podencos was the victim of a vicious unprovoked attack. Bev explains.

'I have always questioned why its necessary to have a dangerous dog license in Spain. As a owner of dobermans for many years I am very comfortable with the bigger more powerful breeds of dogs. Now I know why a licence is necessary.
