The Podenco Canario, or Canary Islands Hound comes in a more consistent look and size, they are medium to large and lean with slender limbs, a long muzzle and large pointy ears. They are used for hunting and while relatively known in Gran Canaria (for over 500 years!), they are not so recognised in the mainland of Spain. 

We are so blessed to have people write about Hope For Podencos and want to share their experiences with us and the rescue world. But we are truly humbled when someone so young champions their voice to be a part of the cause. Helena you are a star in the making!

So the Podenco Andaluz melts everyones hearts as much as ours it would seem, leading to another wall of our followers cheeky pods.

The Podenco Andaluz, or Andalusian Podenco varies in looks and size. Bred for hunting, as the name suggests, they originated in the Andalusia region of Spain. It’s one of the Mediterranean sighthounds directly descended from the early Egyptian hounds.

Just sneaking in an extra post this week to thank you all for sharing your wonderful photos of cats and pods, check out the wall of images below.

As with all things, you can never guarantee that people will get along with each other, and it’s the same for dogs and cats when it comes to living together.

That being said, we have re-homed many Podencos with cats to great success (your welcome - its all part of the service!). So here is a little shout out to Lottie and her best bud Sorrell..
