Through helping with galgo rescue, I've been introduced to podencos, or Ibizan Hounds. We've fostered one, Jazmin, an absolutely delightful character.
Some of the podencos have had their beautiful pink noses mutilated to make them look like a pig, as with Joy, which apparently is supposed to improve their 'ratting' capabilities!
These dogs also suffer the same degree of indescribable cruelty as the galgos.
You can read about the breed on www.ibizanhoundrescue.com.
In the meantime, meet Violetta, a little character looking for her forever family.
Violetta is a sweet little Podenca, who is looking for her 'forever home'.
She is being fostered in France, and this is what her 'famille d'accueil' say about her:
She is just over 1 year old, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and totally house-trained. We have been fostering her for 2 weeks now, after she was rescued from Portugal. Violetta was very shy, but already she is rapidly growing in confidence.
She loves to play with our dogs and cat, travels happily in the car and loves her walks. She is very sweet natured and cannot get enough cuddles! An absolute sweetheart, who will make some lucky person very happy!
If you can offer Violetta a home, contact www.adopter-levrier.com
Violetta has now been rehomed in France
