Please ask them to contact one of the associations that rescue levriers from Spain.

I have just rescued a little Podenco from the link Mimi has posted above.  She is a little treasure and just like a little whippet/manchester terrier with big ears!  She's the cutest thing and despite all her shocking background she is kind, gentle and now beginning to be full of fun.  She can run like a gazelle and a nose like a ferret!!  She is amazingly good in the house and loves nothing more than to sit on my knee by the fire in the evenings or in a sunny patch in the garden during the day - extremely loving and affectionate and has been patient and so very willing to learn to trust.  The LED association mentioned above that rescued her and brought her over from Spain are great people who do the most wonderful work over there - when we went to collect her there were 25 other rescues in the van and they were all sweet and gentle.  I cannot recommend them enough and intend to become a foster 'mum' to some of these lovely creatures as soon as we have more of our renovations done and I can dedicate the time needed to looking after them and help find them homes.  I have translated the English adoption booklet for them so go and look and be moved by the faces you will see looking back at you!
