Podenca Picolino with a badly injured hind leg - safe with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert

From Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert

Little podenco Picolina has a similar problem.

Picolino's bad leg

Shy and really sweet. This is little Picolino, a little still baby who has arrived at our center. She has an injury on his paw somewhat complicated and it is that he doesn't have a fracture as such, but the femur completely dislocated and therefore the entire knee joint damaged.

Her injury is really complicated and our vets have thought the worst and that she even needs to be amputated, but the truth is that she looks like she has a chance with a special surgery and a fully customized plaque. And even though we're not on a budget yet, a custom plaque adds a lot to the bill.....

Our goal is to keep saving lives, but the hunters don't keep galgos and more galgos coming in, and cases of traumatology constantly...

Podenca kicked and abused and bleeding - safe with Galgos Rescue Almeria

From Galgos Rescue Almeria

Last Wednesday evening, a Podenco was brought to the vet in extremely worrying condition. At first it was thought she was the victim of a collision. After further examination, her injuries appear to have been caused rather by severe abuse, kicked and beaten before she was hit.

Her condition was critical, she lost a lot of blood, not only at the fracture of her hind leg. Her body also showed numerous minor and major injuries. In A&E, blood came out of her nose and mouth, it was anxious to see how it was going to evolve.

Although she hasn’t microchip, (what a surprise!) the important thing is that she’s safe and will get the necessary care and treatment to recover. We have given this beautiful girl the name Tracy.

Thursday morning we went to visit her, her condition has now stabilised. Eating is also going much better and she is trying to take some steps. According to the vet, she is ready to come to our shelter where she can recover from her nasty adventure.

This week she will go to the traumatologist for X-rays of the fracture. When she is sufficiently strengthened, the surgery on her hind leg can be done.

Please help with these vet fees, and you can support our dogs for 1€ a month by joining our teaming group.

Podenco Lucas waiting for his forever with Ourense Protectora

The Podencos, the great FORGOTTEN

Grandpa LUCAS's feet hurt so much. He's an angel who's slowly turning OFF....

Grandpa Lucas at 10-years-old is one of the oldest angels of the protege and of the most needy. They say he has green EYES that just looking at you captivate you, the volunteer tells me that when they go out for a walk only once a week when they return she has to hold him in their arms like a baby because he doesn't want to go in the CAGE.

Contact: Progape Ourense (Galicia)... progapeourense@hotmail.com Tel: 988 21 29 39

Lucas was one of the family and then when the owner moved to an apartment, Lucas was not in his plans, as happens too often.

Grandpa Lucas spent a long time without eating, ALWAYS waited for his "Family"... But this one NEVER came back for him...... Time passes and Lucas understood that his owner would never come back for him.

The Faithful Hound - Podenco Photography project

How can you help?

Do you have a podenco? Would you like to share their story?

We want to show your dogs off to the world and show everyone that podencos make wonderful pets. Together, we can raise awareness so that more of these amazing dogs can be adopted out to their forever homes.

​We are looking for people who live in Scotland and who have adopted a podenco from Spain.

The aim of the project is to raise money for podenco rescues and raise awareness for this wonderful breed in Scotland.

In 2023, we will be working on a special book project called 'Podencos in Scotland'. For this book we are organising multiple photoshoots throughout the year, so we are looking for several podenco models with a story to tell.

Could your pod be one of them?

Starving Podenca - Tanamera Rescue answered the call

The end of hunting in Spain is drawing to a close. Already the hunters have been shooting humans as well as hares when their aim goes off mark!

Jacky Gazelger of Tanamera Rescue in Valencia is working with the rescuer and has organised a foster home for the little podenca where she will receive the food and care she desperately needs.

Storm Damage at Galgos Rescue Almeria - help needed to fund repairs

From Sandy Galgoslover.

A couple of nights ago we suffered a storm and strong winds which unfortunately caused a lot of damage to our Rescue center. A large part of the fence has been torn loose and our storage space has been completely destroyed.

In addition to our usual daily tasks, we now have days of cleaning up debris. A solution will also have to be found for the storage space.

Abandoned podenco puppy - thank goodness for animal volunteers in Spain

This young couple, members of Patitas Por El Mundo Espana, with 2 small children were out driving to meet family for a New Year meal. Here's the story.

'When we left home to go eat with the family (because not even Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve nights have we been able to have dinner with them, for having a thousand animals to attend to and not be able to get home late for them), because I tell my boyfriend : "Which one will be the first of the year?"

Well, it didn't take us long to find out, as always in Cartaya, little baby of about 6 months, skeletal, bones, with a lot of fear, she was coming bent down, with her tail between her legs and peeing out of fear...

Not right for an animal to get to this state... And while Cartaya's aid promoting hunting and rehoming... In the end...It will happen as always, that once picked up no one cares about the animal or those who make the immense effort to rescue them.

Galgos Rescue Almeria - another new arrival escaping cruelty

Galgos Rescue Almeria recently picked up this podenco at the vet. This boy wandered around in Pulpi looking for food and a place to sleep. He was chased away, kicked and pelted with stones, which understandably makes him very fearful and suspicious of people. That made him very anxious. Luckily, he was able to be caught and removed from this hostile environment.

Gabriel, this name is given to this angel, tested negative for the most common Mediterranean diseases. We’d like to thank Ana Ramos Sanchez for collecting Gabriel and bringing him to the clinic. Also a huge thanks to Helping Animals Almanzora helping support this gorgeous boy.

Our vet bills are still very high. Please donate if you can, either by paypal or the Go Fund Me link.

Seville - podenco starving on the street

Many years ago I need help to get a small galgo puppy from Pepis Refuge Pedrera and lovely Carmina Alvarez-Rea in Seville was able to help with a stopover for Polar to be picked up by the official transport. She recently appealed for someone to takes this poor starving podenco off the street.

Luckily she has now been taken to safety with the Seville Association 'Speak for them Lebrja - Hablo por ellos Librija. This is a lucky podenca to be safe, so many are still abandoned and starving on the streets of Spain.

If you can help with vet expenses, they will be very grateful.
