Chenco, living rough on the streets in Spain. He’s been there for at least 4 months, dodging the traffic, covered in sores, being fed by local volunteers who are desperately trying to catch him and save him.
Passion Levriers are supporting the volunteers.

We’ve always preferred to adopt adult dogs, the thought of cleaning up after puppies doesn’t enter into my scheme of things.
So when I learnt there were two puppies arriving for an overnight stay on the next rescue from Spain, I had to ring round friends to find out what to do. Almost like being a new parent panicking about how to look after the baby.
Two dog cages and copious towels duly arrived chez nous, along with, not two puppies, but five! Ha! Bit like when I went into hospital to have one baby, and two arrived at the same time.
Jazmin is a 4yr old rough-haired Podenco with enormous ears. She is gentle, loving, adores being stroked and hugged.
She is good with other dogs, not aggressive in any way. She is a little timid at the moment, but will blossom in a caring permanent home. Sterilized, vaccinated, microchipped and blood tested, she will make a wonderful pet.
And would like nothing more than to curl up on the sofa with her head in your lap.
She was brought out of Spain by L’Europe des Levriers on a recent rescue, as she was in danger of being stolen by the gypsies. She is currently being fostered in Deux-Sevres.
