  • Akira Dog Sanctuary – podencos hoping for forever homes

    From Hayley O’Brien at Akira Dog Shelter.

    ‘Here are all the podencos that we have who are ready and waiting for their forever homes. They are all special with wonderful individual personalities. Podencos make such wonderful family dogs as they are so affection. Most of our podencos are good with other dogs and really enjoy playtime with their pals. They all walk well on the leash and many are house trained.

    If you want to find out their full details please check www.akira-animals.com or the Facebook albums. You can also email akirashelter@aol.com or whatsapp +34 657 68 95 67.

  • Adopting a Podenco – what you should know

    There are several different types of podenco, from the small Maneto and Erbano to the Canario, Ibicenco and the largest, the Campanero. Generally they are much more active than galgos, make great agility dogs or canicross dogs and are exgtremely intelligent. They make loyal pets so this is what you should know about the Podenco.

  • Podenca Truffle – happily homed in Italy

    Gran Canaria Iris 400 1 8 2021
    From Salva Podenco de Gran Canaria.

    ‘This lovely Gran Canaria podenca was originally called Iris. Now she’s called Truffle. When she came to us she was a terrified dog, she lived tied up in a dirty chenil until that time. She knew nothing about the world and was afraid of people, especially men.

    Today she lives super happy with hers family in Italy and almost overcame all her fears of the human being. Thank you so much to her family for taking care of her and everyone who helped us through the process for her to get to her forever home. We are so glad to hear from her adopters.’

    I have a 5month podenco who I’m desperate to rehome. He was abandoned near our home at 8weeks and I havnt been able to rehome him. I’m desperate because I start work on the 20th and will be away from home for long hours. He’s a beautiful dog and would make a wonderful family member, due to lifestyle I couldn’t consider a dog long term. He’s vaccinated, micro chipped and very healthy. Can you please help me. I’ve run out of time. Thank you

    I’ve asked around and had no luck. I live in Albox and can drive him to you if that helps? I’ve got
    He’s 5months old. His name’s Choco. I’ve got photos, he’s a beautiful dog. Great with kids, great with other dogs. Very wary of new people but is not aggressive at all and soon warms up.
    What do you need? I have his passport too.
