Fuerteventura, Canary Islands - hell for podencos

Life for podencos on the Canary Islands is hell. Shelters do their best but no one on the Islands adopts podencos and it is expensive to fly them out to Europe to forever homes.

For six months, the 4-year-old Podenco dog Kala has been hanging on a chain in Perrera on Fuerteventura waiting for her human. Especially a torture for a Podenco with a great need to run. Kala weighs 18kg, is not castrated and shows himself good and social in the Perrera. Video of Kala, chained up in full sun with no water!!

If you have fallen in love with Kala, then please fill out the interest form. On this weblink.

This is for us the basis for a detailed telephone conversation with you, where we are happy to answer all your questions.

Video
·
Epiphany, Three Kings Day, the end of the Christmas period and the day to look back for the last time and close 2024.

First of all, we would like to thank all our partners for the wonderful collaborations. Thanks to joined forces, some 163 sweethearts were able to leave the shelter and start their new lives. New or renewed collaborations were also established with Italy, Lithuania, England and Germany.

In February we were able to pick up our GRA van that was fully sponsored by Greyhounds in Need 🇬🇧 for which a huge thank you.

Valencia Floods - SOS Podencos update

From SOS Podencos - at one point the water was waste deep.

31/10/2024
Most of our dogs are out of the kennel and placed into temporary foster homes. The two remaining are inside the house that is in the kennel, and they will leave today.
There are still other dogs in the kennel that aren't ours, but it seems the legal owners don't want them to go into foster homes..

Now is the time to clean, fix and rebuild!
If you can come help, it will be appreciated.
Here is a video of the state of the kennel. It's full of mud and water. The fences are broken, ripped from the ground. All the dog food is gone. The dog beds are gone or broken.

Valencia floods - Save my Life Benidorm update

VALENCIA UPDATE - just an update on the Valencian catastrophe and news or our aid and donations.

Yesterday 1st November saw Save my life and other organisations make their first trip to the area. We were succesful on delivering much needed food water and blankets to 2 different areas. The trip really brought home how bad the situation is in Valencia. There are so many displaced people and pets in the region.

2 legged podenco

@protectorabiosbardos

Today we ask you something very important for someone very special. Some people who follow us years ago know who Cas is, for the new we explain, Cas appeared run over in the year 2015, the fractures were very severe and after many surgeries finally had to amputate both legs on the same side, we always bet on him despite that the recommendation was euthanasia, in these nine years he proved us that we did the right thing by living a full and happy life, without any kind of restriction.

Now Cas is starting to get older and needs a chair adapted to his needs, which is very difficult as it is not a normal case, we need someone who controls and knows how to make him adapted to him. Recently we saw a post from @mbenzespana that his engineers had made one, We make this post to get a chair that allows Cas to walk and make his life a little easier.We ask you to share the post to have more chances that this year Cas gets his much deserved Christmas

SOS Podencos shelter flooded out

From SOS Podencos

Edu, the kennel owner, is alive and seems physically well but he is in shock. Nobody rescued him even if the rescue services were contacted several times for almost 12 hours. They were collapsed. So many people are trapped or missing, so only one person and dogs weren't the priority.

Most roads are still closed but his son could go to the road near the kennel that is higher and throw him food over the fence. Some dogs were barking. We don't know the extent of the damages and the animal deaths.

Devastating floods in Malaga province - shelters flooded out!

Horrendous flooding in Malaga Province with many shelters flooded out. On shelter which SS Podencos works with reports the flooding is above knee height making it difficult to open kennels doors. Keep these shelters in your pravers that every animals is rescued and safe.

Dear friends of the Galgos and Podencos, this morning the heavy rains in Andalucia caused the dreaded flooding of the shelter! The water rose and entered the inside kennels and a great effort by the volunteers saved 40 galgos, podencos and 2 mastines. The dogs were frantically moved to safer ground as the shelter is near the river bed. The dogs went into foster homes and to the residencies we use for the Male Galgo Project. They are all safe. Praying the rain lets up soon! The damage will be evaluated when they can go back in but for sure loss of their washing machine and dryer, and possibly stored food, medicines etc as well.

They may even need rental equipment for cleaning purposes.

We are asking for donations for this emergency situation!

To donate go to www.galgopodencosupport.org say for flood.

PLEASE HELP our friends at Galgos en Familia in their time of need!! Thank you!!
