Cuidad Animal Refugio Animales - lots of podencos needing forever homes

Ciudad Animal Refugio Animales Abandonados

WONDERFUL POWER

El Podenco is the typical dog we usually see from the highway wandering around the field, which is confused with a galgo. The one who lives locked in a junction for years, the one who belongs to a rehala.

That hound dog no one wants.

Podenco means light feet.

Its stylized figure, its agility on any ground, its incomparable tracker, its visual and audible sharpness, its ability to adapt to any temperature. All of this has made from the podenco an essential "tool" for hunters.

The podenco has always been used for hunting, throughout its history.

But let us talk about the other side, not the one we are used to seeing, but the other, the good one.

Mogan podencos - Gran Canaria - fosters required for the oldies

From the association Adopta un Amico en Gran Canaria.

'We need TEMPORARY HOUSES, for the 8 old podencos of the Case "90 Podencos of Mogan".

After a year and a half since being rescued and taken to the kennels, we have been given permission to remove them from the kennel and keep them in Casas de Foster until the end of the Court trial.

Many have arthritis, blindness etc..... they don't deserve to stay in a cage, now comes the cold, humidity etc..

WE ARE LOOKING for people with patience, they are dogs with fears, phobias, they have never been in a house and they do not know what a caress is..... and much less what it is to sleep warm.

We don't know when the trial will end, of the 84 dogs that were removed from the hunter only these 8 had a chip...... the others (minus Siso, Bimbo and Ananda) are already adopted or on probation with families.

Having a chip they have not been able to look for family or get out of the kennel so far.

Saving a Gran Canaria Podenco - lucky Zoe hoping for a forever home

This photo is of Zoe when she was rescued. Here's what Salvaunpodenco say about her now.

'Introducing ZOE. WELCOME!

We never say it, but every time an animal enters the shelter, we get very excited, because we think that it has already begun to change it's life and we hope to be able to find it the best family we can.

Zoe was found without a chip, wandering alone, very thin and malnourished. They picked her up and took her to the Ceta de Santa Lucia. The volunteers gave us the notice because it was a pity for them to see it like this. So since we had room for her...

Thank you for not leaving her on the street.

ZOE is 3 years old and she is such a sweetheart!

If you want her to be part of your family for the rest of your life contact salvaunpodenco@gmail.com

Massive seizure of Podencos by Seprona on Lanzarote, Canary Islands

MASSIVE SEIZATION OF ANIMALS.

SEPRONA AND TEGUISE LOCAL POLICE SEIZE SEVERAL ABUSED ANIMALS IN A AREA IN CENTER LA GRACIOSA.

Two weeks ago, a LARGE OPERATION of SEPRONA, the local police of Teguise and technicians of the City Hall took place to seize more than a dozen animals.

In an illegal depot with lots of dirt and garbage, rusted iron and animal carcasses, there were hunting dogs and livestock that had been kept in deplorable conditions and hidden from the eyes of tourists and neighbors for years.

In an unprecedented action on the 8th, SEPRONA seized more than 10 dogs, many of whom suffered severe muscle loss because they were chained for years and unable to move in a 1m2 cabin.

Podencos - living a life chained to a wall - Galgos del Sur shows the suffering

From Asociacion Galgos del Sur.

Can you imagine a life like this?

365 days a year tied to a meter chain without being able to move, sleeping in concrete, without receiving the necessary love and attention. Only released for hunting. They feel fear and sadness, their life becomes a real hell.

It's the life of suffering of podencos and other dog hunting from rehalas.

The Monteria and the Rehala was declared Good of Cultural Interest of Andalusia, and soon it will be in Extremadura.

Ciudad Animal Refugio - podencos already abandoned and hunting has only just started!

From Ciudad Animal, south of Madrid.

Ciudad Animal Refugio Animales Abandonados

Hunting season just started 2 weeks ago and the kennels are already full of pods, galgos, brotons. Those dogs who care for hunters so much I wish that story was true.

With the galgos it seems that we are more conscious, we know how they are mistreated and used, but the podenco is the big forgotten. You don't know the big problem there is. You don't need to go to the Canary Islands to find dirty, without windows full of scared and hungry pods. In every manchego town there are workshops with so many podencos that are missing fingers to count them. We've been in this for many years and unfortunately little has changed.

A few days ago we were called from the kennel looking for help for several dogs and here we are again, with the kennel van full. Let's try to find a new future for these 20 poor animals.
