SOS Podenco Rescue – rescuing and rehoming podenco
SOS Podenco Rescue was established in 2013 and since then has been successful in rehoming many rescue podencos. Read the story behind the association on this weblink
Podencos make wonderful companions. There are several different types of the breed from the small Maneto and Erbana up to the Campanero but the most usual are the Ibicenco and Andaluz. Some of them do have a strong prey drive, but most are also incredibly loyal dogs and will reward their adopter with devotion. They are also very active dogs and excel at agility and canicross.
This weblink will take you to the many wonderful rescued podencos hoping for forever homes. Contact SOS Podenco Rescue direct if you can offer your home and heart to one.
