Passion Podenco Belgium - adopt a podenco

To adopt a podenco in Belgium, visit this website. Warning, prepare to have your hearing blasted! The music is VERY loud! There are some rather nice cards on sale too. I am trying to find out what will happen to them if the proposed change in law in October comes into force, prohibiting dogs from outside Belgium being imported into the country for adoption.

Podenca puppy Miffay - in Valencia - adopt her - give her a life

Can you help Miffay. She is an adorable podenca of 6 months. She was abandoned and found in a pitiable state along with another little bitch, had been attacked by processionary caterpillars which affected her tonque but, with veterinary treatment, has been restored to good health by the refuge in Valencia. She eats and drinks normally, is quiet and affectionate, and also nervous of strangers, but this will improve in a forever home. She will be a wonderful family member, and will love to play with children.

Please give her a chance of a normal life.

Lanzarote - behind the scenes SARA's work is never-ending

News from the SARA shelter on Lanzarote - just arranged an adoption of two podenco puppies, brother and sister, and then they get two boxes of puppies delivered a week ago.

One is a litter of 10 bardinos and the other a litter of seven podenco/bardino cross.

Lynne writes, 'A Cach. is short for Cachorro which is Spanish for puppy. We give all the dogs in a litter the same name so they are Cachorro Dustbin or Cachorro Red Car - stupid names but it means we can remember where they were found or, in the case of red car, the person who dumped them.

Black is Beautiful - Adopt A Galga

Have you or your family room in your hearts for one of these two little beauties. Jimena is a female galgo just 10 months old. She weights 12 kg and is in good condition, very affectionate and obedient. She has had all her vaccinations, is sterilized and blood tests are negative. Contact Asociación Protectora de ANIMALES "Marisé Checa" email marisecheca@hotmail.com www.dogslookingforahome.com

Telma is a small 4 yr old galgo who was adopted by a family in France 18 months ago. Unfortunately the couple separated and Telma has been in foster since. She is an adorable gal, playful and happy with no hangups, but she can't live with cats. Contact L'Europe des Levriers if you have room in your heart for her.

SARA Lanzarote - Podencos with passports for the UK - Adopt one

News just in from Lynne, one of the volunteers working tirelessly on Lanzarote for the SARA shelter.

"The vet’s arrival is drawing near and we think we have everything prepared. All the medications are ordered, accommodation and hire cars sorted, volunteer helpers are arranged …… so looking good. We hope to have every animal in the shelter neutered by the time they leave and we can even do some of the feral street cats to help with the massive overpopulation on the island.

Sadistic; Cruel; Podenca with two broken front legs - can you adopt her?

It never ceases to amaze me how sadistic some people are. A tale from Ireland came in this week of a greyhound, ears cut off to get rid of the tattoo, tied up in a potatoe sack and thrown in a river.

It struggled so much it got its hind legs out, but couldn't save itself and its body was washed up on the shore.

And who could harm this beautiful podenca, dumped outside a pet shop with both front legs broken. Valerie Wood of Ibizan Hound Rescue explains.

Over a year in a refuge - help Scooby Medina find homes for these galgos

Eva from Scooby Medina has sent a second list of galgos who have been in the refuge for over a year. Many of them were part of over 200 taken in a rescue in Seville in November 2007. They desperately need foster and adoption homes.

If any of you can take any of these dogs, either through your own association to refuges away from Spain, or offer foster or adoption homes, please get in touch with Scooby as a matter of priority.

Here's one sweet girl. Paz, pictured, female
Paz arrived on February 6, 2008. She is a little beauty and has no problems. Being at the shelter for almost a year now, she would benefit from a home environment.

Long Term Residents of Scooby need Forever Homes

The plight of the galgos continues - the Spanish refuges and associations are overwhelmed with abandoned dogs. Here are some long-time residents with Scooby Medina, desperately needing homes, to make way for new incomers. Meet Laila who urgently needs to leave the shelter.

Laila - female (Urgent)
You can see that she has had way too many puppies. She is timid and the last I heard she is also getting skinny because she is not confident enough to eat with other dogs around. So, if I was to pick an urgent case to leave the shelter now, it would be her.

Eva describes some of the others. Check out the Scooby Medina website for more information.
