The Criminal Court number 11 of Malaga has convicted the owner of a podenco who died after being locked in his van for several consecutive days in Casabermeja. In the sentence it is considered proven that the man, hunter and rehalero (this is a man who hires out dogs for hunting), was aware that the animal had been diagnosed with leishmania and that it needed urgent treatment to stay alive. The judge imposes a sentence of twelve months in prison and a ban on working in any trade that is related to the treatment of animals. In addition, the magistrate requires him to pay 600 euros to the animal protection association Ladram, whose owners denounced the facts and welcomed the dog, in order to support it.

Podenco Balu with Ann's Canine Care, Malaga - still waiting and waiting

From Ann.

'It really saddens me that for 2yrs Balu is still with me looking for his forever home. He was offered a home in early February, but this was on condition of a house sale which hasn't happened. So if you wouldn't mind, I really need your help to share him for me His best friend Muttley is going to his forever home next week so he's going to feel a bit lost without him. Balu is such a good dog and deserves so much better. Currently in Southern Spain, but can travel. Totally prepared for adoption, and healthy.'
