Grieving our losses - losing a canine companion

We're all been there, had to say farewell to a canine companion, whether through age or illness. They always take a piece of your heart with them, but leave you with lots of wonderful memories. And during the grieving process, a house without a dog isvery empty. And so we adopt again. The new dog isn't a replacement for the departed one, as it will have a completely different character and different needs. And we know that at the end of its life, we will again put ourselves through the pain of losing it.

Podenco Franco - can he make the Happy Bus in December?

Podenco France is in a Spanish Shelter which Podencos In Need Scotland work with. Here's what he says.

FRANCO. 5 YEARS OLD. SOCIABLE WITH ALL DOGS. NEEDS AN OFFER PRE DECEMBER.

'Hey there! I’m Franco with a problem. My problem is that my sister Bandera, is leaving me. She got an offer of a forever home. The thing is, I love her and I’ll be so lost without her. She is travelling to the U.K. in December and I’m wondering if I could get someone to offer me a home, so that we can leave together. I’ll miss her terribly you see, I don’t know if my heart can take it. Can anyone give me a chance to get on the happy van with my sis?

I’m really easy, very sociable with dogs, a little timid because a hunter hurt me. All I need is love

Why your dog should be sterilized - prevent Pyometra

Good afternoon from the Scooby family.

We want to present you a serious illness that requires urgent surgery and can be avoided by sterilization.

Pyometra or uterus infection whose symptoms are fever, loss of appetite and in many cases increase in water consumption and if not treated urgently can cause death in a very short time.

There are two types, open and close. The open is easier to observe as the female begins to stain down the vulva. While closed is more dangerous because often when the family realizes the animal is sick it may be too late.

That's why and many other reasons we always advise you to sterilize your best friend!'

Podencos - Lanzarote's Noble Hounds

A lovely article written by a SARA rescue association volunteer and photographer.

The Canary Island podencos suffer horrendous treatment, sometimes dozens hidden away in the mountains out of sight and then abandoned when no longer of use for hunting. Their only hope of forever homes is on mainland Europe which is a costly and complicated procedure.
