This is an appeal for help for vet fees and food for Ana, a podenca Andaluz abandoned, injured and with pups near Valencia. She was eventually rescued, after more than 2 months of gaining her trust, and is now with 112carlotagalgos being repaired, healed and prepared for her forever home. Read her story here. Remember, podencos suffer just as much as galgos at the hands of the galgueros.

Podencoworld – helping the podencos of La Linea, Spain
Passionate about Podencos! Why didn’t I find this website before? Maybe because I haven’t had time to do so much research into podenco sites because the Galgo news always takes so much time, as did researching for my book! Have a look at this very interesting website, Podencoworld. This link should take you through to the English translation; if it doesn’t click on the Union Jack on the lefthand side.

Podencos in Ibiza – remember this story?
Do you remember this story from a couple of years ago? Time and again I have tried to contact the Bright Eyes people to find out the result of the court case, with no success atall. Now the story has been found on GN by someone who worked in Ibiza when this was happening. Here’s what she says.
‘I remember this man very well. I was involved with animal rescue in Ibiza from 1997 – 2004. He used to have literally hundreds of podenco ibizencos living, breeding and dying all around his house and the surrounding forest. This man is certainly anything but mentally sick. In fact he offered to sell me two pups who were 4 weeks old at the time, taking them from the mother; disgrace and I told him so.

Podenca Andaluz Bebe – off on an adventure in rural France!
Yet another story about a podenco! This time it is about mine, little Bebe, my Podenca Andaluz, rescued injured from a Seville motorway 2 1/2 years ago. My vet operated on her injured leg, and now Bebe is the fastest Pod on 4 legs!! I haven’t been able to train her to come to me when she is outside of the house, the vet thought she was about 5 or 6 when rescued, so probably too old to train. So when we walk the dogs, Bebe is on a harness and long lead, and then on a long tether on a long line when in the courtyard with the other dogs. Our courtyard is enclosed for galgos and Podenco Canarios and Ibicencos, but not the miniatures. We have to leave one or two small escape routes for our cat, in case she ventures into the courtyard when the dogs are loose.
