Podenco Lucas waiting for his forever with Ourense Protectora

The Podencos, the great FORGOTTEN

Grandpa LUCAS's feet hurt so much. He's an angel who's slowly turning OFF....

Grandpa Lucas at 10-years-old is one of the oldest angels of the protege and of the most needy. They say he has green EYES that just looking at you captivate you, the volunteer tells me that when they go out for a walk only once a week when they return she has to hold him in their arms like a baby because he doesn't want to go in the CAGE.

Lucas was one of the family and then when the owner moved to an apartment, Lucas was not in his plans, as happens too often.

Grandpa Lucas spent a long time without eating, ALWAYS waited for his "Family"... But this one NEVER came back for him...... Time passes and Lucas understood that his owner would never come back for him.

Adopt a Senior Dog

Podenco Alex - friends with cats too

From Rosaly Torvnes.

Alex is a very sweet, fun, affectionate and happy dog. He´s ONE year old, 12 kg and 48cms tall. He arrived at the shelter on October 2022. The shelter was informed that there was an abandoned dog who was going frequently to a bar nearby, everyday, and looking for food.

Alex goes well with other dogs, but has a certain mild dominance with other MALE dogs. Still, he´s a very sociable dog!

Alex is friendly with children, walks well on a lead and travels just fine in cars. Not good with cats.

Alex seems to be a small version of a mix between galgoxpodenco. His looks are exquisitely beautiful. Alex is waiting for a home!

Alex is in Cartagena, Murcia.

Podenco Ozzy - a small podenco looking for a forever home

From My Dog Rescue Spain Dogs For Homes

Ozzy DOB 9/21 small podenco. Ozzy was rescued last year from a perrera in Salamanca in a terrible condition. He needed a reconstructive surgery on his penis area which was successful and he is enjoying pain free life, it does not affect him at all.

Ozzy is a friendly chap, good with people and dogs. Ozzie can also live with cats as he is cat friendly.

Ozzy is castrated, chipped, vaccinated and health checked.

Podencos are such a lovely breed but sadly often forgotten. So many are looking for homes so if you would like to open you home to Ozzy please get in touch/ follow a link below.

Galgos sans Famille - beautiful podencos needing forever homes

Galgos sans famille

Let's not forget the Podencos!! They too are impacted by this new law in Spain which excludes them as well as Galgos from any form of protection and continue to retain the status of "tool dogs"

They too deserve to leave Spain after a life of exploitation for hunting, abuse and misery. It should not be forgotten that most of these dogs have never known home life, human love and family life, so they will need gentleness, love and patience, but they will give it back to you hundredfold

How to adopt:

Tierra Blanca shelter on Tenerife, Canary Islands is a place of refuge for the abandoned and maltreated hounds on the Island. It's away from the apartment blocks and hotels lining the beaches, a place the tourist doesn't visit. The only hope for forever homes for some of the dogs, mainly podencos, is on mainland Europe. Here are links to some of their hopeful podencos. Here are a few of their Podencos, scroll down the pages to read abbout the character of these very deserving hounds. Please share.

Refugio Kimba - a year saving Spanish hunting dogs

FEBRUARY 1 WORLD GALGO DAY

They say out there, that greyhounds dream their whole life with a life to come, they dream their home, their family, every place, and that dream helps them to be able to get through their reality of abuse and torture. Many make it and others get left in the way.. So when a greyhound comes to your life is not that you have chosen but he dreams.

The end of the hunt comes and with it the end of their lives or the release of others.

Over a year we collect many dogs, but the vast majority are hunting dogs, especially greyhounds and podencos. It is very painful to see how they arrive with their souls totally shattered, atrocious fear and utter distrust for human, not to mention the physical wounds. Dogs that pee and defecate on you when you look into their eyes... We can't imagine what they've had to go through.

Podenco Wilf - in UK foster looking for a forever home

Do you remember the story of Wilf, the podenco left badly injured at the side of the road, and whom Pam McLeod of Podencos In Need Scotland responded to my plea for help for him. He's now all repaired and recovered and in foster in the UK hoping for a forever home. I would love to adopt him, but after downsizing from our French farm to a small bungalow, we simply haven't room for a third podenco!

Contact PINS if you have room in your home and heart for him.

Galgos Rescue Almeria - 2 Podenco Campaneros hoping for forever homes

From Sandy at Galgos Rescue Almeria

Artillero & Madroño

We would like to put our 2 Podencos Campanero ( Madroño & Artillero) in the spotlight. Meanwhile, all dogs that came to us from the infamous shelter that had to close the doors have arrived safe and sound in their new families. They celebrated Christmas in a warm and cozy home.

Too bad for our 2 Campaneros, they have faded into the background.Unfortunately, there are no requests for Artillero & Madroño yet.

Both are very social and very affectionate.

For both we are looking for homes where there are no small dogs or cats.

Artillero

Madrono

They are just big woolly teddy bears!

Podencoworld working with Podencos in Gran Canaria

WORK IN PROGRESS * PODENCOWORLD TENERIFE * ELY FROM "VIP" DOG TO DOG FOR ADOPTION!

Some poor podencos are so traumatised by their treatment at the hands of the hunters that it can take months and months of patient work to gain their trust in humans again. Ely is one such podenco with Podencoworld Gran Canaria.

'Now the moment is finally there, Ely is ready for adoption! Maybe not with every family, of course he will remain a special soul with slightly longer instructions than dogs without a backpack, but we have decided unanimously that our dear Ely is ready for the next step!

Ely trusts people more and more and more and now just goes for a walk with new volunteers who are still strangers to him. It takes him a while to trust them, but it's all good when he sees the belt. The curiosity and especially the will to live of this nice guy wins over the uncertainty more and faster and we really see him grow every day. He wants to so bad! With the right guidance, patience and home routine we think he will thrive very quickly. We really hope that he will get this opportunity with experienced people. He has come so far and wants so badly... he just deserves that chance!
