OMG I did not know what a Podencos was,,,,so I looked it up and found this : Spanish hunting dogs live their entire life on the brink of starvation, un-stimulated,
in dark spaces or tied up at short chains. They have hardly any human contact
and they get no affection. From this site for anyone interested: http://www.occupyforanimals.org/hunting-dogs—galgo-and-podencos.html I don't know what to say. I just cry.

Yeah.

Welcome to my world.

They bring their barbarity with them when they come here.

This is Gypsy, a Portuguese Podengo Medio, who was dumped by her "owner", along with her sister in the northern California desert, to deal with starvation and coyotes.

It cost me over $1200 to pay their adoption/medial/travel fees, most of which was raised by like-minded dog lovers such as myself, via online art auctions.

She was rescued at about the age of 7 months but the damage done remains to this day.

Still, she is a wonderful little dog that I love dearly.

Her sister Darby lives with a friend in Omaha NE.

This wonderful woman, Beverly Farmer, rescues an astonishing number of Spanish Podencos and rehomes them, all over the world.

What she does is no less than a miracle and the woman is a saint.

Podenco Ibicencos [Ibizan Hounds] are what I have have had for 24 years and my most recent rescue passion.

Seeing the photos of them suffering guts me.

Of the 8 I have had in the last 24 years, only Djinni remains.

I had to step down from the club rescue committee or lose my mind.

I started donating art for auctions, instead.

I loathe the soulless Spaniards.
