Adoption Outreach with Hound Sanctuary
Please join The Filling Station Pet Supplies as we welcome Hound Sanctuary for an adoption outreach event on Saturday, June 18th from 2pm-4pm.
We are particularly honored to welcome this rescue group to our store because of the kind of work they are doing. Hound Sanctuary rescues Podenco Ibicenco (Spanish Ibizon Hound) and other sighthounds including Galgos, Salukis, Borzoi, Wolfhounds, Deerhounds, and similar from Spain and across the USA.
“Every year, thousands of sweet, loyal hounds are obtained by hunters, sometimes kept near-starving because the hunters believe a starving hound makes a better hunting dog”, sadly states Founder & President Rain Jordan.
“Then, when hunting season is over, these dogs are horribly tortured, mutilated, and killed (*hanging is one common method) or abandoned on the streets of Spain, suffering further abuses, injuries, and/or painful deaths. This vicious cycle is repeated every year, with new dogs, followed by new abuses, neglect, abandonments, and/or killings”.
By nature, these hounds tend to be intelligent, loyal, playful, silly, loving and sensitive. Most are good with other dogs and some are friendly with cats.
If you or anyone you know are interested in learning more about the breed to adopt or foster, we highly recommend coming by to meet these special dogs.
