How do I contact the shelter about Caramela?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Podencos handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Caramela on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Caramela if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Podencos 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 Caramela 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 Caramela 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 Hope for Podencos early rather than rehoming privately; they know Caramela 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 (EN). 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.

Caramela

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Caramela had been living on a golf course for a couple of weeks. The shelter she was with first tried to catch her with a manual trap but the visitors to the golf course had all been feeding her so she wasn’t tempted! Thankfully they’d just got a new remote control trap that was bigger - with some tasty sausages and a good dose of patience it was a success! When she was the golf course, no one could get anywhere near her, let alone touch her. Once she arrived to the shelter, she melted within 24 hours! Caramela is a young, confident, adolescent podenco - all pods are full of character and can be cheeky, but at this age they really do push boundaries and can at times really test your patience. She is a mischief maker, goofy, funny and a real opportunist. She loves to play with toys and will steal anything she can get her paws on, and she has mastered the puppy dog eyes so gets away with it! She is very agile, as a lot of podencos are, so keeping her safe and secure will be key. She has a good nose on her and can be strong willed on her walks so will need some loose lead walking. We’re looking for adopters that have a good sense of humour can work with her through this adolescent stage - enjoying the wins and get past the tougher moments! She will reward you handsomely - whilst she can be a little shy with people initially, once she trusts you she is so loveable and affectionate. Caramela can be a little more wary of dogs her size or bigger, but tends to do better with smaller dogs. She could also live as an only dog. In fact, due to her confidence levels we think she is really adaptable and could live in many homes. Caramela is neutered, vaccinated and snap tested negative for Mediterranean diseases - we are in the process of re-testing her in full. She is passported and available for adoption now.

About Caramela

What life with Caramela looks like

Caramela is a puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at Hope for Podencos in Albacete.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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.
