Social and Affectionate dog – Needs a bit of time and patience – Great family Dog for family with older children
WINSTON is a very social and affectionate dog.

Gentle boy – Great family dog – Loves to walk and play
CHICO was surrendered to us, he is only 9 months old. The reason for surrender is that the owner is not able to properly take care of him.
Chico is very good with other dogs, he has a very sweet nature and will make a great family dog.
He will need to be trained as any young dog requires and he loves to walk, so an outdoor family with a fenced garden where he can play would be ideal.

Special Notes |
Very Friendly – Quite Some Energy – Escape Artist – Family Dog
BOOMER was found in the forest of Teulada.
He has shown to be a real escape artist, he knows how to climb the fence!
So for this very friendly family dog we will need to find a home with a walled garden, because otherwise he will know his way out!
Boomer likes his walk, he is easy on the lead.
He has quite some energy so a family who likes to hike or go for long walks would suit him very well!

Escape Artist- Lovely Character – Good with Dogs and People
KIWI has a great character. He is a beautiful podenco with his little beard!
He loves to play and shares an outside kennel with 2 other podenco´s.
This outside kennel has a roof…the first day he arrived in the shelter he managed to jump over a fenced kennel that did not have a roof! 10 minutes later he was happily shaking his tail at the frontdoor!
It is very important that the new owner has a good (high) fenced or walled garden! Kiwi also likes to go out on walks and likes to hunt

Special Notes |
Loves People and Cuddles – Prefers to be Only Dog – Home with Older Children
Dimitrie and XUFA were found early morning at only 100 meters from the shelter. It was clear that they had been dumped there overnight. It was in the period that the temperature went up to 38 degrees.
It took a little while to gain their confidence but then they were happy to come with us to the shelter. They were both incredibly thirsty, poor dogs.
Xufa has a good character, she likes people very much and loves to be cuddled. With some dogs she is absolutely fine, with others less. So she would probably better go to a home where she will be the only dog.
We would also advise grown up children as she is quite strong.

Likes to Play – Funny & Naughty – Needs Patience
CARAMELA had been living on the golf course of Benissa for 2 weeks. We first tried to catch her with our normal trap, but because she received good food from people who were eating at the restaurant she was not tempted.
We then tried with our new trap, which is high and works with a remote control. And BINGO, with some tasty sausages and some patience we managed to get her in! For 2 weeks nobody could touch her there, but in the shelter she melted within 24 hours.
Caramela has a real podenco character, she is funny, naughty and follows her nose when being out on a walk. In the shelter she is good with smaller dogs with whom she likes to play.
In the beginning she will need some patience to trust new people. And she has shown herself to be a real jumper, so a high fence in the garden is a must!

Special Notes |
Playful – Great Companion for Other Dogs – Loves to Hike
NINA is a lovely Podenca. She loves to play with her big friend Laika.
When she first arrived at the shelter she was a bit timid, but now that she knows everybody and knows the routine she has really come out of her shell.
We do think that she might be a bit timid again once she arrives in a new home, and we also believe that it would be better for her to go to a home where there are other dogs who can help her but also because she just loves to play!
She is good on the lead and follows her nose, she is a good hunter and can be strong at times.
She has a good character and would love to find a family who goes on long hikes!

Playful – Great Companion for Other Dogs – Loves Food
LAIKA is a very funny podenca. She loves to play with her big friend Nina. When she first arrived at the shelter she was a bit timid, but now that she knows everybody and knows the routine she has really come out of her shell.
We do think that she might be a bit timid again once she arrives in a new home, and we also believe that it would be better for her to go to a home where there are other dogs who can help her but also because she just loves to play!
She is good on the lead and follows her nose, she is a hunter but does not pull as some other Podenco’s do. And food is for her very important!
In the morning when taking her from the inside kennel towards the outside kennel she does not run like the other dogs do, she just walks next to you waiting for her well deserved piece of sausage once she arrives in the outside kennel! She has a great and funny character!
Name | LUNA |

Special Notes |
Loves Long Walks – Very Good with People – Prefers to be Only Dog
LUNA came to us because her owner unfortunately died. She was in foster care for a while with a friend of the owner but as that person had other dogs and Luna would not always get along with them she had to leave.
Luna is very attached to people and loves to be cuddled. She has a good character and is house trained.
A couple of our volunteers take her on long walks, because even if she is 8 years old she still has quite some energy.
We are looking for a new home for Luna where she will be the only dog.
