King

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 4 months

King arrived to a shelter in Gran Canaria from one of their notorious pererras on the island as a tiny pup along with the rest of his litter. He’s been waiting 7 long years to find a loving home and now its his time. He has recently made his way to the mainland to one of our partner kennels where they are preparing him for adoption. He was initially a little more reserved in his new environment with strange people he didn’t know but his curious and more confident side is starting to show and his is voluntarily approaching the volunteers there for a fuss - even ones he is only meeting for the first time. He’s a really lovely natured boy, good with people and other dogs. He’s been with his sister Keylie since they were puppies - it would be nice for him to form a bond with another doggy companion, although as the more confident of the the pair, for a patient home, we do think he could also manage as an only dog. King is neutered, vaccinated and snap tested negative for Mediterranean diseases - we are in the process of re-testing him in full. He is passported and available for adoption now.

About King

What life with King looks like

King is a very small 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting King, answered.

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