How do I contact the shelter about Demi?

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 Demi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Demi 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 Demi 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 Demi 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 Demi 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.

Demi

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Demi is a sweet, gentle young Podenco who has already come such a long way since arriving in foster in May 2026 alongside seven other Podencos and ten puppies. At that point, Demi was completely shut down and frightened of being touched. Since then, she has slowly started to realise that life can be safe and comfortable, although she is still shy and reserved with people and will need a patient home that allows her to continue building her confidence at her own pace. Being in foster means Demi is getting some really valuable experience of living in a home. She absolutely loves being indoors and has already discovered the joys of the sofa! She currently lives with lots of other dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities and is playful and comfortable around them. We think having another confident, friendly dog in her new home could be really helpful for her. Demi is still learning to walk on a lead. She will walk when she has other dogs alongside her, but isn't yet confident enough to manage solo walks, so this is something her adopters will need to work on gradually with her. Her fosterer describes her hunting instinct as low from what they have seen so far. She is around 80% housetrained and isn't particularly food orientated. Demi won't be the dog who arrives and immediately knows how to navigate her new life. She will need time, patience and understanding while she learns to trust. But considering how frightened she was when she arrived in rescue, the progress she has already made is really encouraging. With the right home and another friendly dog to show her the way, we think this lovely little girl will continue to blossom. Demi is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases excluding Babesia and Ehrlichiosis - as already stated she has tested positive and is receiving treatment for this, so we can retest for the all clear. She is passported and available for adoption now. If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below

About Demi

What life with Demi looks like

Demi 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.
