Podenco pups abandoned at 2 months old - Galgos Rescue Almeria caring for them

From Sandy Galgoslover.

'New in our care these 3 gorgeous podenco puppies. They were found in a box at the hospital in Huercal Overa, and APA Nueva Vida brought them to the vet for a check up and giving the first care.

2 girls and a boy (Caramella, Santina & Gino) approximately 2 months old. Jean Minett was so kind to pick them up at the clinic and she also offered to foster them for a while.

Many thanks APA to save them, Jean to foster them and Helping Animals Almanzora to support one of the 3 musketeers.

All help / support for the other 2 rascals is welcome.

Podenco Tatoo - left for dead - lucky to be alive

A tragic story...let's get Tatoo a forever family for a happy ending.

'TATOO was run over and left lying in the gutter without noticing if he was alive or dead. It was winter, cold days and nonstop rain. Two days later, it occurred to them to stop by and see what had been the dog and there he was... and alive!! The truth is that he was deader than alive, unconscious, with an open fracture of the front leg with his bone out , famished... It's been many tough months in a house but he's ready to find him a family. He's a good, calm and happy dog. We don't know if he will regain foot functionality, but that affects him very little for his running around!

Podenco Theo now safe at Podenco Friends

This is the second of the 3 podencos which arrived with Bev Farmer, Theo came with Carmela.

Theo .. new arrival.

He is one of the three that arrived on Monday a smaller Podenco only 9 kilos already very much settled in.

On his visit to vets for bloods etc Bruno also does a thorough check of him. Then the words he has luxation of the patella but not one both of them. So it looks like Theo will be with us for a few months he needs surgery on both knees and then rehab. At the moment he is racing around but left will cause him problems in the future.

Not what we expected but thank goodness my vets are on the ball .. It’s been a challenging week all 4 of the new arrivals need additional veterinary care .. Will be keeping me busy the next few weeks

Podenca Carmela with Podenco Friends

From Bev Farmer

'New arrival ..Carmela. Earlier this week 3 Podencos arrived at the Finca. Working together with Michael Owens of SHUG they came from another rescue.

Carmela is 10 years old ... we have her original passport, a senior Podenco abandoned after many years of loyal service and giving birth to many puppies.

You could not wish to meet a more gracious and sweet natured dog. Loving, gentle, kind are just a few words that describe her. She has recently gone through a major surgery and has some health issues we need to address but she is very bright and happy and greets you with a waggy tail.

For now she is comfortable and settled, she is booked in to see our vet. Will update once we have more information.'

Galgos Rescue Almeria - update on China and Volcan

From Sandy Galgoslover

'If animals could speak they could tell what happened.

China’s muzzle is hurt and both seem to have been kicked because they are limping a bit. We’re so grateful that the FB post of China’s & Volcan’s disappearance was shared so many times. Normally Pods are very active but they are very quiet now, probably both are still affected by what happened. Fortunately their tails still wag when we talk to them, it means they haven’t lost their trust in us. Now they need to go to the vet for a checkup.

Update on the 3 podencos with Akira Animal Sanctuary.

This is was the skinniest of the three poor dogs as you can see from the photos he is malnourished however we are working hard to remedy this and he is already much more comfortable.

Chance has had his blood tests back and it relieved he has leishmaniasis so we are treating and getting this condition under control. Once under control it doesnt hinder daily life and controlled can be maintained with an inexpensive tablet. He is a sweet boy and will make a lovely addition.

Now we have the gorgeous Chase. If you look closely you can see this handsome boy had a heart-shaped nose. They are all very sweet natured dogs and it's appalling that they arrived so poorly. We have just had confirmation that he has heartworm, ehrlicia and Leishmania. We will of course be giving him treatment but this is a lot for his body to go through and much can be prevented easily.

Coco. Isn't he just a sweetheart? He has had his tests and he has come back positive for heartworm which of course he will be treated for. So glad that these 3 are in a safe place with us to start down the road to recovery now we know what each of their issues are.

We will continue to publish their progress and if you wish to register your interest in adoption when they are ready then you can drop an email to akirashelter@aol.com.

Akira Animal Sanctuary - saving the podencos of Benissa, Spain

Star is a gorgeous young podenca, currently with Akira Animal Sanctuary and hoping for a forever home soon. Contact Akira if you are interested in her. Read the info on this weblink.

At the end of April 3 podencos were surrendered to the Shelter.

These 3 doggies were surrendered to Akira. They are definitely in the best place now as when they arrived they were covered in fleas and ticks but they have been treated so should start to feel better soon. They have been given good food and shown love and tenderness.

We will be working to feed them up and make them healthy as you can see they are underweight as well. They are very sweet natured dogs despite their condition. We will keep you updated on their journey and hopefully they will soon be ready to search for their very own forever home.

We have called them Coco, Chance and Chase.
