Here’s another beauty, rescued by Tina Solera and now at Los Infiernos refuge in Mercia.
She’s desperately looking for her forever home. If you can offer one to her, contact Tina on parajelosinfiernos@hotmail.com
‘Aleta – 1 year old female found wandering the roads in Pilar. She had a skin condition and a badly injured tail but is now fully recovered after treatment and is ready for a new home.’
This is the latest picture of Podenca Mary, rescued from a petrol station by Charl. Here she is, sharing a chair with Charl’s daughter and younger son. Apparently Mary would not leave the chair without them! If you can donate towards the cost of the veterinary fees, or offer Mary a forever home, contact Charl, 112 Carlota Galgos. Mary does not have a UK passport.
Mary has now been bathed, wormed, flea treatment, ticks removed, and taken to the vet – age estimated just 5-6 months old. See how tiny she is, sitting next to the laundry basket! Not surprisingly, she has no microchip. She has tested negative for leishmania, just waiting for the results for ehrlichia and filaria. These should be back in a couple of days, and then she will be vaccinated etc. Once this has been done, she will go to the kennels with Dana.
And another gorgeous podenca rescued last month and looking for her forever home.
Minerva in Roman mythology, among other things, goddess of wisdom. And our podenquita proved to be very wise when she decided that she should continue to the door of the house of Angel and his girlfriend. Somehow she knew they would take her.
Our kids spent hours and hours ridding her of a lot of parasites, they gave her a bath and after a hearty meal, Minerva, as a baby calm and confident, fell asleep. On waking we have found a sweetheart.
And yet another podenco, in the UK already, looking for a forever home. He’s with Pro-Galgo and this is what Mo Swatek says about him.
‘Goku, or Scooby as we have now called him, is one of the Podencos that arrived from Spain recently. He is around 18 months old and is absolutely stunning. He has the most amazing ears and grin and wonderful red coat.
Scooby is very playful and loves to play tug with a raggy toy, either with his kennel mate or with visitors. He can still be a little shy of new people but is very loving and confident when he gets to know you.Scooby could live with older (10+), calm and gentle children.
Besides galgos, my passion is also for podencos, who also suffer cruelty at the hands of unfeeling hunters. Another thing which worries me about them is that this year, at Crufts, the dog show in London, there was a class for Podencos. So are they now also going to be a breed to suffer from over-breeding as they become a ‘latest must-have’ breed?
There are three podencos from the SARA Lanzarote shelter who are already in the UK, looking for forever homes. They are Abrila, Agora and Mozaga. Mozaga is one whose cute face is featured in the Podenco set of notelets for sale on Galgo News.
For more information on these dogs, please contact Rick or Lesley.
July, and still the galgos are abandoned and loose. This one is at Irma Mykonos Road, between Lebrija and El Cuerva, Seville. She has a malformed front leg but can still walk, and her teeth are in a terrible state. Please help us before the gitanos take her for hunting again.
