Kora

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Kora is beautiful, small-to-medium-sized Podenco with a lovely feathered coat and a cheerful, friendly nature. She came into rescue after her hunter no longer wanted her following an injury to her eye. Her rescuers told us that her life was at risk, and later veterinary investigations revealed nine shotgun pellets in her body. Despite everything she has experienced, her carers describe her as a happy, confident girl who shows no obvious fear of people. She enjoys human company and was particularly taken with a volunteer’s 11-year-old niece, following her around during her visit to the shelter. A such we think she could live with respectful children. She also walks very well on the lead. There is so much more to Kora than her difficult start, and we would love to see her enjoying walks, home comforts and the companionship of a family of her own. Shortly after her arrival, her carers discovered that Kora was pregnant. She gave birth to four puppies, but heartbreakingly, three have since passed away. Kora and her remaining puppy continue to be cared for by the team. Kora has been assessed by an eye specialist, who diagnosed a displaced lens caused by trauma. The recommendation is to remove the affected eye when she is spayed, and she is receiving prescribed eye treatment in the meantime. We will keep prospective adopters updated on her treatment and any ongoing care needs. We think given Kora’s lovely temperament, that she could live in a variety of homes - either with other dogs or as an only dog. She has no specific requirements in a home - only to be loved and cared for after a difficult start. Kora will be neutered, is vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. She is passported and available for adoption now. If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below

About Kora

What life with Kora looks like

Kora is a small puppy 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kora, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kora?: 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 Kora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kora 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kora 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 Kora 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 Kora 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.
