Tail Torrox Dog Rescue - Podencos Tiesto and Dahlia looking for forever homes

Look at this stunning boy. He's Podenco Tiesto with Tail Torrox dog shelter in Torrox Costa on the Costa del Sol. Tiesto was found running loose in a nearby village. He is estimated to be born in January 2019, weighs 16kg and is 47cm in height. He is a super friendly podenco who loves everyone. He gets on great with other dogs and is full on energy. He would benefit from some lead training and would make a fantastic pet. More pix of him on this weblink.

And this lovely lady is Dahlia.

Podenca Zarita - a fantastic ambassador for podenco adoption

From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.

'Zarita always has a special place in my heart for many reasons. She let me stay by her side has she was giving birth I had no clue what to do but she was so calm and it was a wonderful moment to share . Our walks out together with Alba, Katrina, Mica and Zorro, all smaller Podencos, zip zip zipping around the campo, having a blast and often Teddy Nestor her buddy and her would go for a walkabout. When done they'd turn up at the gate wanting to be let back in. She had the most loving of natures and was very maternal with disabled Hope and so smart.

I always had in mind what home I wanted for her and waited and when Helen contacted me I knew this was the perfect match. For Helen it was a very personal decision to adopt and Zarita brought light back into her life after a very sad time. Helen was very low key about her experience in training in agility, I had no idea she was so talented. I told her it would be great to see Zarita compete but no pressure so long has you were both happy.

A Dog's Love

It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how much cruelty is meted out on a dog, it will still be loyal to that person! So much abuse of dogs, when their loyalty and love is second to none.

Podenco Post - publicising the podencos since 2008

My involvement with podencos and galgos came about in 2007 when I joined a French rescue association and journeyed into Spain with the team to collect my first galga. That was where I also learned that podencos suffer the same cruelty as galgos at the hands of the Spanish hunters. My first blog was Galgo News started in 2008 and one of the first stories I ran was about Podenca Pruna, a tripod who was later adopted in France.

Here's the story of Pruna.

Podenca Viva - ready to start a new life forever

From Animal Rescue Granada.

Sweet Viva was found in pretty rough circumstances. She belonged to a hunter who left her behind for a long period of time. Some people threw some food to her once in a while until she was finally rescued from this place.

Viva is very sweet, only a bit timid at first while she gets to know a new home. She is 8 years old, a Podenco mix, great on the leash, friendly with people and dogs.

She is currently in temporary foster care with one of our volunteers and doing very well. But she deserves to find a future home where she can spend the rest of her life. Is that maybe your home?
