This is the story of “Simone”, a little podenco lady, that will hopefully have a happy ending.

Tuesday, the 19th of July we received a phone call from our friends of the perrera in Villamartín. They told us al littel female podenco was brought in, her little back leg, completely destroyed by a trap.We decided to take care of this little doggy and the following day we picked her up to bring her to our shelter, so she could be operated by our vet Dr. Santiago Grosso, from the animal clinic "Plaza de España" in Cadíz. Unfortunately he had to amputate her leg.

.Here you can see the deplorable state her leg is in, all due to one of the horrendous traps, of which there are so many to be found in our countrysite. These killing tools are placed by despised hunters, who are being supported by idiots that call hunting a sport!

We are trying very hard to find her a family, who wants to give her all the love she has been denied, and hopefully will make her forget her infernal life in the Sierra of Cadíz.

The surgery was very complicated and painful for the little dog, but we believe there won't be any complications.

Right now the little Simone is recuperating at the house of one of our volunteers, untill the moment all her injuries are cured and she is fit to travel.

Thanks to the fantastic help of GIN and GRB, the little Simone will begin her second life with a wonderful family in Belgium. She has completely recoverd from her operation.....

I (Simone) am so sorry that I didn't sent you a letter earlier. But I am having a great time here! I like to drive in the car. In the beginning I was a little afraid but now I know that we are going to do something special than! Like a visit to the see. Oh jee, The beach is lovely but the waves are to big for a little podenco like me and than my father has to carry me. My sisters take good care of me. Tania the eldest one is like a mom for me and Lana is my partner in crime. When I want to go to sleep, mom puts me to bed.mmmmmmmhhhhh food is great (sometimes things "fall" from the table!) My sisters and I agree that it is to little but mom & dad say that it is enough for us! In the living room burns a fireplace every evening so that makes things cosy. Mom & dad says hi and wanted to thank you again for bringing me into their lives.
