Blind Podenco in Murcia waiting for his forever home

Jaen, Spain - House of Horror

These podencos were discovered in a finca - chained to the wall so they could barely even lie down - in filth, starving...a denuncia has been made and authorities contacted to help them. A couple were rescued but then the volunteers were accused of trespassing! A petition has been raised to demand the authorities take action against the owner and save the dogs.

It's a Dog's Life - Tails from Pepis Refuge

20 years ago Jane and Alan Brian moved to Spain to open a caravan park. Instead they found a hung galgo in the olive groves around them and started their journey to save and rehome hundreds of dogs. Alan write amusing and poignant verse and I have now collected these into a book, interspersed with stories of some Pepis dogs who found forever homes. Please buy a copy, all proceeds from the sale will go to the Pepis dogs, including podencos. It's Print on Demand, so will only be printed when you pay for it, allow 2 weeks. An ideal present for your dog-loving friends.

Another cruelty case on Tenerife

This poor soul is a Podenca Canario which was dumped in a Tenerife perrera by her hunter owner, after a lifetime of producing babies - and starvation. She could barely stand, had a huge abcess on her face and a fever. She is being cared for by the vets of Albergue Comarcal Valle Colino. Once the fever had subsided, the abcess was removed but an inoperatble tumour was discovered on her face.

These are the updates from Ailsa Mcgibney from 9th November. An offer of a comfortable loving home has been made, where Santa, as she has been named, can live out her days.

The life of an adopted podenco - what they all deserve

A lovely video of a Podenco Canario from Tenerife now adopted in Belgium.

The truth about Perreras! ACTIN Spain tells it as it is.

A very good article written by Viv Wharton, founder of ACTIN, and why I always advocate adopting a podenco from a recognised shelter/rescue association.

Are you unwittingly supporting crimes against dogs? The truth about Perreras!! Do you wonder why your local charity cannot take the dog that was abandoned at your gate?
