Flamenca - UK

Podenco · Female · Senior · 12 years

12 year old Flamenca was surrendered by her hunter with 2 other elderly dogs to one of our partner kennels. After serving him loyally for over a decade, she was no longer of use to him - a story thats all too familiar in Spain. She landed on her feet and went to one of our wonderful partner kennels that had lots of wonderful luscious green outside space for her to enjoy. From there she made the trip to the UK and into foster as an only dog. She is a wonderfully well balanced dog, confident with people and good with other dogs but is also happy being the only dog in the home. She loves to lounge around in the home and garden in between her walks which she also enjoys. She is happy to be left for a few hours without any challenges, she’s clean in the home, she isn’t destructive and in general is just a really easy going girl. She’s great on the lead although like most Podencos can still pull a little if she catches the scent of something exciting! She sleeps soundly through the night, eats well and loves her treats. She’s still a little bit nervous in the car, but is happy to hop in and out and is becoming more relaxed on journeys with practice. Flamenca will be neutered, is vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. She is passported and available for adoption now.

About Flamenca - UK

What life with Flamenca - UK looks like

Flamenca - UK is a senior podenco dog waiting at Hope for Podencos in Albacete.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Flamenca - UK, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flamenca - UK?
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 Flamenca - UK on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Flamenca - UK 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 Flamenca - UK 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 Flamenca - UK 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 Flamenca - UK 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.
