  • SOS Podenco Rescue – Podenco Abel hoping for his forever home

    Meet Abel – the quiet soul waiting for his chance .
    Age: 2 years
    Size: 55cm | approx. 16kg (medium)
    Dog-friendly
    Cat-friendly

    Abel is one of those special dogs who doesn’t rush into life, he watches, listens, and takes everything in quietly. He’s shy with new people, but once he realises you are safe, you can touch and handle him without any issue. He has a very gentle, cooperative nature.  With other dogs, Abel is calm and social. He isn’t playful right now, but he enjoys being part of the group and draws confidence from canine companions. With time, patience, and kindness, we believe he will blossom into a more expressive dog.  Abel isn’t asking for much, just someone who will see past a shy exterior and give him the space to feel safe.

  • Podenca Tila – A Spanish Agility Champion

    From Bev Farmer

    Tila — a rescued Podenco and RFEC Agility Champion of Spain 2025.

    I’ve followed Adrián Granda for several years watching his incredible journey with Tila. Once again, for the third time, she has won her group at the Spanish Championships.

    Tila’s story began in the most humble of places. She was one of three tiny pups in a pet shop that helped local rescues find homes. At just 3 months old, Adrián adopted her… who could have imagined then, that this little Podenco would grow into a three-time agility champion? (more…)

  • SOS Animals – Podencos for adoption – all of them survivors from Spain

    Guadiamar_5 190Here are some beautiful podencos with SOS Animals UK & Spain, desperately hoping they will catch your eye and your heart, forever. They are all young, ready to be trained, with full EU passports and bloodtested. Monica is an especially unusual girl, as the Podenco Orito is not a well known type of podenco, unlike the popular Podenco Ibizan and Podenco Andaluz. Guadiamar and Bembezar are brother and sister and have very unusual markings. Gemma came from Operation Rehala where 120 galgos and podencos were saved in January/February. All these super hounds have a survival story to tell. You can see more about them on the SOS Animals website.
