Santino

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Santino, "the marquess" for friends, is a very elegant Podenco hound. He's always basking in the sun and posing. He's good with other dogs and loves to play (and win, of course). He's very particular about his food, having to smell it and make sure it's to his liking before savoring it leisurely. At first, he's wary and fearful of people, thinking they're all common folk, but with time, he'll let you serve him. He prefers the rural life to the urban one, as there's "too much riffraff" in the villages, according to him.

ES·Show original

Santino, "el marqués" para los amigos, es un podenco muy elegante. Siempre está tomando el sol y haciendo postureo. Es apto con otros perros y le gusta mucho jugar (y ganar, claro). Es muy delicado con la comida, ya que ha de olerla y asegurarse de que es de su gusto antes de saborearla sin prisas. Al principio es desconfiado y temeroso con las personas, ya que todos le parecen vulgares, pero con el tiempo te dejará servirle. Prefiere la vida campestre a la urbanita, ya que en los pipicanes "hay mucha chusma", según él.

About Santino

What life with Santino looks like

Santino is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at A.D.A. Noguera in Spain.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Santino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Santino?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.D.A. Noguera handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Santino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Santino if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A.D.A. Noguera will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Santino already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Santino isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with A.D.A. Noguera early rather than rehoming privately; they know Santino and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
