Hope for Podencos GC Fundraising

This group was borne out of the realisation that over 70% of the beautiful Podenco Canarios who are taken into the Albergue Banaderos on Gran Canaria will never leave there alive. Together we can change this statistic - Like, Share, Donate, Foster, Adopt - the choice is yours. Together we are stronger
The Podenco Canario is a recognised breed from the Canary Isles, and has been used as a traditional hunting hound on Gran Canaria for many years. They are bred in high numbers and the surplus discarded or killed. Those coming into the council run facility at Banaderos face sacrifice or death from attacks from cell mates as they are a shy fine boned breed that can rarely defend themselves when penned up with large strong aggressive dogs.
As a group, our aim is simple - to try and change the fate of the podencos coming to Banaderos, and rehabilitate them, attend to their medical needs, and establish them with a family home of their own for the rest of their natural lives.
