Welcome and thanks for your interest in Podencos, Galgos and the general hound situation in Spain.

WE WORK HARD TO CREATE A BETTER FUTURE FOR PODENCOS AND GALGOS IN SPAIN. Our goal is not just bringing as many hounds as possible to the USA. We rather try to make a difference in Spain by creating a better future for the hounds.

Rescuing is great for the dogs who get out but does not make any difference for the hounds still in the hands of hunters and breeders. That’s why we support Spanish animal advocats  when they report animal abuse. These reports are the only efficient way to create statistics that show the actual reality of the problem so the spanish politicians can not deny the problem any longer.

Publishing sad stories on social medias creates public awareness but does not force the authorities to react. We want to change that.

FOSTERING RESPONSABLE

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO BE A FOSTER FAMILY? I asked this question in a group and more than 90% answered: love, especially lots of love! I do not agree at all. I see that the vast majority thinks that love and pampering are the most important and I disagree. A fosterer is to socialize the… Continue reading FOSTERING RESPONSABLE

SEPARATION ANXIETY? NO!

We receive many messages requesting help with adopted hounds and the owners claim their dogs have severe and often destructive SA. Even so these Galgos and Podencos are not adopted from us, we still try to help because a dog with SA suffers and needs help. First of all we have to make sure when… Continue reading SEPARATION ANXIETY? NO!

ARTISTS FOR HOUND AUCTION

I have to share this with you. We asked artists to donate some of their creations to our auction to bring 6 hounds over to Seattle. 6 year old Hristina from Barcelona insisted in participating by painting her own adopted Podenco puppy. This is the wonderful result. We are sooooo proud to have this lovely… Continue reading ARTISTS FOR HOUND AUCTION

WHAT OUR DOGS TEACH US

We work nearly exclusively with sighthounds, mostly galgos and podencos. Many of them with severe deprivation syndrome and general fears for having been mistreated. EXERCISE? Of course!I it keeps them healthy and happy. Normal well balanced dogs want to run and play. In Spain we had a 60m² (aprox 600sqf) dog room with old sofas and… Continue reading WHAT OUR DOGS TEACH US
