This is a picture of conditions in which podencos have been kept on Tenerife. It’s desperate that they are rescued. Podenco Rescue has all the information, and they will liaise with the Tenerife association trying to get the dogs out. Please help these deserving dogs. And let’s hope the man is prosecuted.
