Posted by podencorescue on May 13, 2010

Podencas encadenadas sin comida ni agua, en estado lamentable malditos asquerosos cazadores. Hay que ayudar a esta pobre, asi morir de hambre o de sed o de un golpe de calor. Que asco, de verdad.

Esta es la compañera de la otra podenca (no tengo fotos), se encuentran en la… misma situación desperada, su queridisimo dueño que imagino que es un cazador las deja abandonadas sin aguan ni comida, pero no tuvo la dignidad de soltarlas de esa maldita cadena, por favor ayudemos a estas pobres perritas a ser felices, en un hogar, son dulces y dociles como todos los de su raza, se encuentran en Malaga pero se envian a otras provincias ayudarme a difundir el caso, por favor hay que encontrarle algo a todos.

Two Podencas left chained up without food or water in a lamentable state. Damn these revolting hunters. It is necessary to help this poor girl before she dies of hunger, thirst or the heat. It is really disgusting. She is the companion of another Podenca (I do not have photos) that is in the same desperate situation. Their “loving” owner, that I imagine to be a hunter, leaves them without access to water or food and hasn’t got the decency to release them from that heavy chain. Please, we have to help these poor dogs to be happy in a home. They are sweet and docile like all of this breed. They are in Malaga but this appeal is sent out to all other provinces to help spread the word and find them something.

Homeless in Sevilla

Posted by podencorescue on May 8, 2010

El Refugio-Escuela in Sevilla have, amongst their many abandoned animals, a sweet Podenca that is desperate for a loving home. This is my translation of what they have written about her:

“We are hoping that these photos will bring a new life for Shadow. A different life where there is no pain, no blows, no fear nor loneliness.

What a beautiful dog you are Shadow. It is wonderful to see you growing in confidence and start to trust, waiting for a cuddle instead of a heavy hand. How sweet you are with your curious eyes discovering the world that lies beyond the cage that you are used to. You are learning to feel the love of an embrace or a whispered word.

Our sweet little red-haired Podenca!

We cannot find the words to describe Shadow. We wish that you could get to know her, to see her sad, submissive scared eyes and hug her small, fragile and frightened body. She must have suffered cruel beatings in the past.

There must be someone out there with a desire to love, caress and pamper her, surely. ”

Shadow is an Andalucian Podenca so fairly small in size. She is approximately three years of age, she is sterilised and ready for adoption. If you can offer her a home please get in touch with the refuge.

Abandoned in Valencia, Spain

Posted by podencorescue on May 2, 2010

                                    Barajas

Barajas is a rough coated, male Podenco born around February 2008. He was wandering the streets for quite a while and was eventually caught and taken into “care” about a year ago. His time on the streets were obviously traumatic for him as he is a little fearful and timid but is coming round and learning to trust people, albeit slowly.

 With a little loving care he will make a wonderful companion and he has many good points. He is playful, house-trained, walks well on a lead, good with other dogs (both male and female) but is not so good with cats.

 It is time now for Barajas to find his forever home …….   Can you help him?

 He is all prepared for adoption in Spain or other mainland European countries. He is neutered, chipped, blood tested, fully vaccinated and has his own passport so adoption could be arranged immediately.

 If you have fallen for those wonderful eyes and feel you could offer him a home, please contact Sylvia  by email  at        silvia_vcia@yahoo.es

New home needed in France or Spain

Posted by podencorescue on April 22, 2010

Nela

 Nela is a sweet little Podenco around 12 months old. I say little as she stands only 35 cms tall so fairly small for this breed.

 She was found wandering the streets of a Madrid suburb but it is unknown if she had been living in the area or dumped by someone from the surrounding countryside. It is probably the latter as she is still not accustomed to walking properly on a lead.

 With abandoned dogs it is difficult to know what they have gone through in their past and Nela is no exception. She is a little timid and wary of strange situations. She doesn’t come when called unless you tempt her with a little meat.

 Nela is looking for a new home with someone who can spend some time bringing her out of her shell. Podencos make wonderful companions and are very loyal once they have overcome their initial fear.

 With a little time and effort Nela could be a wonderful addition to your family.

 She is currently in a shelter in Spain but can be adopted through  L’Europe des Lévriers in the Paris region.

 Please email     band@bbrennan.eu    in English

Adopt me please – Malaga area

Oco

Having seen a full photo of Oco, I would say that he is actually a Podenco cross as he has shorter legs but he is so cute and is desperate for a new home that I will include him anyway.

He was born around August 2006 and is good with other dogs but can be a little fearful at first. He is microchipped, neutered, fully vaccinated and tested negative for Leish.

He is currently in foster care with a family with children, housetrained, walks well on a lead and is very loving . Like most abandoned hunting dogs he hasn’t learnt how to play yet but I am sure that will come in time.

How can you not fall in love with those eyes!!!!!!

If you think you could give Oco a forever home please email comdelrio@hotmail.com
