This young podenco is Orlando, thin and terrified in the perrera on Lanzarote, due to be killed next week. I've asked SARA Protectora if they can save him and there are appeals on facebook too. Fingers crossed.
There have also been a few podenco puppies in the killing station in Valencia, Mairena (Seville) and Almeria. In the past few months more people have finally realised what I and Podencoworld (Holland) have been saying for years - that the podencos need help just as the galgos do. Facebook is an excellent medium for sharing the appeals to save the podencos and I'm pleased to report that, beside Pedro the injured podenco, several puppies have also been saved from death through appeals on facebook. BUT they all need forever homes, which can take longer.
aww poor orlando is there an pp ad for to send a donation through to sara protectora if they get him out it wont be a lot as i am donating to 2 other appeals but every little helps

They are beautiful Beryl, so glad that they have been saved. You are absolutely right that the Pods need just as much help as the galgos.

I'm pleased to report that Orlando has been saved. SARA Protectora was full, but he has been taken by a German group, so now waits for a forever home. Problem is, it's expensive to fly a dog out of the Canary Islands - flights costs on top of EU passport etc. But they are worth it!

Polly - Orlando is saved but not by SARA, by another group. Worry not.
