This little podenco is so sweet....
He arrived from Andalucía very thin and sad and although he has already gained weight and is more cheerful, he urgently needs to find a forever home where he can live quietly and comfortably receiving all the love that he has not had until now. Chip ...69065

Podencos are high jumpers, much more so than galgos. Galgos caan be escape artistes, podencos are high jumpers!
So here's an article by Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends on just why rescue associations insist on fencing/walls to be at least 2m high before adopting a podenco.
Why do we request secure fencing ideally 2m high.
To be fair over the years very few of the Podencos have climbed or jumped the fencing, but if motivated they have the ability to do so. The majority have little interest to escape. Plus it's not always the big podencos, this is Rebecca who was smaller and she would climb the fencing like a rock climber and it was no problem her making the 2m jump down.
I understand people's frustration about the stipulation for secure fencing but it is for the safety of the dog and trying to reduce the risk of it escaping. Once on the run they could get injured or worse and no one wants that.

Surviving the streets on 2 legs
From GdS.
This podenca survived the streets whilst carrying her back legs behind her every single day... we are hoping to change her future for the better. We still have some tests to go & specialists to see but we will get the best advice for her. She's adorable & survived like a champion

The little Podenca that has no knee caps is now called Wiggles. We love that name, it really suits her as she was wiggling down the streets just doing her own thing. Wiggling in & out of bars doing her own thing. Wiggling across busy roads doing her own thing. She’s a wiggle pants. Welcome Wiggles

From Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.
'A couple of months ago I asked for your help for Karina. After many enquiries for her an adoption was agreed, but sadly the family have decided not to proceed.
Karina was handed over by her hunter, the reason he gave, she does not want to hunt only wants to look after her daughter so is no use to me. She has been in the rescue for 2 years and no interest in her.
Six years old and 23 kilos, she would be happy to be an only dog or possibly with with another female that is sensitive and calm and she is good with smaller dogs. Sadly she has been attacked by male dogs due to her very gentle nature. Pepa tells me she is very faithful to people quiet and calm, she loves to go out for walks.

From Network for Animals
The shockingly cruel treatment of Spanish greyhounds (Galgos) must be stopped in Spain. Will you stand with us today?
The sport hunting industry is full of cruel practices and a callous disregard for animal welfare.
We offer a glimmer of hope and relief to these terrified, injured and stressed animals.
32 hunting dogs were rescued from a nightmarish existence in a decrepit farmhouse. Many others like them desperately need your help. Chained, starving, and wounded, they have endured unspeakable suffering in appalling conditions.
We're partnering with Galgos de Sur, a dedicated organization committed to confiscating, protecting, rehabilitating, and finding good forever homes for these abused hunting dogs. We are asking for your compassion today. Please support our crucial mission and help us end this disgraceful behaviour.
