Lanzarote - Podenca Pirata desperately needs a forever home

Podencos in the Canary Islands find it difficult to find forever homes because of the cost of flying them to mainland Europe. But they deserve forever homes as much, if not more, that most podencos. This sweet podenca is hoping for her forever home soon.

PIRATA female 2 years old, Podenca Canario very sociable and affectionate, LOOKING FOR A NICE FUTURE. She can travel

SARA Protectora Lanzarote say: 'A few days ago we gave a talk about animal protection and welfare at the Official Reef Language School. To this talk we were accompanied by the sweet PIRATA, this beautiful podenquita who charmed everyone present asking for cuddles at every step. As the talk was in German and Pirate isn't very good at it, she took the opportunity to greet everyone and show them how good, caring and noble she is.

22nd March - World Podenco Day

From Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends

Today, March 22nd, marks World Podenco Day in Spain!

On this day we pay tribute to a breed that embodies nobility and pride, yet often endures a harsh reality in Spain. Many Podencos are subjected to unimaginable conditions, deprived of the respect they rightfully deserve.

Tragically, countless Podencos spend their lives confined in dark buildings, underground caves, or chained to walls, with nothing but rancid water to drink. They're expected to run tirelessly until exhaustion takes its toll, only to be discarded when they're no longer deemed useful.

PACMA - protestng about the Royal Decree 666/2023

PACMA - we want to tell you that on 5th March 2025 we have presented a proposal for an urgent modification of the terrible Royal Decree 666/2023 of the Government, which has generated enormous discomfort among veterinarians and animal guardians. There are many inconsistencies to correct.

Why is this decree a problem?

It requires notification of each veterinary prescription through the PRESVET system, including animals considered companion animals, when the European Regulation excludes them.

It requires pathogen identification tests for certain antibiotics, which delays treatments and is costing animal lives.

It imposes mandatory identification of animals for the administration of medications, making it difficult to treat community cats and abandoned animals. Such as where cats in a feral community are caught, neutered and returned to their community.

Podenca Pirate in Lanzarote - a special podenca desperately needs a special loving forever home

Pirate is a Podenca Canario with only one eye. 2 years old, sociable, affectionate, neutered and vaccinated. She is ok with children, dogs and cats. A few days ago we gave a talk about animal protection and welfare at the Official Reef Language School. To this talk we were accompanied by the sweet PIRATE, this beautiful podenquita who charmed everyone present asking for cuddles at every step. As the talk was in German and Pirate isn't very good at it, she took the opportunity to greet everyone and show them how good, caring and noble she is.

She would love a forever family, her only hope is on mainland Europe. She can travel.

Adopta un Podenco de Lanzarote

(We adopted a totally blind podenco over 3 years ago. He is an amazing dog, walks well on the lead, walks up a ramp into the car, causes a stir whenever he is out as people always want to stop and chat about him. So Pirate has an advantage is that she is partially sighted. Let's get her the home she deserves.)

Introducing DORA, an unusual Podenco Orito

Our little Podenco Orito (breed from the Canary Islands) was entrusted to us by Carmen. Dora is 1.5 years old and weighs about 15kg. She is very sociable, loves to play, very affectionate. She gets along with her peers. Her downside is that she is not ok cats.

Podenca Lisa with Akira Dog Sanctuary - hoping for a forever home

Lisa is a beautiful white and brown podenca with typical podenco ears. She is 6 years old so well over the puppy stage, would suit an older active couple, experienced podenco people if possible as she has a hunting instinct. She really deserves to know the love and comfort of a forever home. Don't let her be one of the invisibles.

Contact Akira Dog Sanctuary for more about her. More pix on this weblink.

Podenca Lyra desperately needs a foster or forever home.

Podencs in Need Scotland

We had desperately hoped someone would come forward to adopt or even foster our gorgeous fuzzy girl Lyra, but no.

Although she seems to be settling well, learning to trust and generally gaining a little more confidence, Lyra seems to really be failing to thrive in kennels.

Sometimes they just need that little extra TLC in a quiet, loving environment to help them put on weight and encourage them to come out of their shells more.

We're always worried when they are like this and would have loved for her to get an offer.

Hunting is a violent activity - only 1% of Spanish participate

Hunting -solution or problem?

On the first weekend of February thousands of people took to the street to ask for the end of hunting.

Hunting is a violent activity, practiced by only 1% of the population and which, however, for months, hijacks our mountains and fields, sowing them with death and suffering and preventing us from enjoying these spaces, which become a deadly trap, for 99% of the remaining population.
