Leo

Podenco · Male · Young · 3 years

Leo is a brave Podenco hound who has been through a lot. He was picked up after suffering a severe blow that caused a serious spinal injury, leaving him with incontinence. Although he is now very recovered and leads a nearly normal life, he can't always take care of his needs on his own. He is a very good and noble dog, though a bit timid due to everything he's been through. He gets along well with other dogs and needs, more than ever, a committed, patient family willing to give him the love and care he so deserves. We know it's not an easy adoption, but Leo is a special dog who just needs a chance. His heart is as big as his desire to live.

ES·Show original

Leo es un podenco valiente que ha pasado por muchísimo. Fue recogido tras sufrir un fuerte golpe que le provocó una lesión grave en la columna, dejándolo con incontinencia. Aunque ahora está muy recuperado y hace una vida prácticamente normal, no siempre puede hacer sus necesidades por sí solo. Es un perro muy bueno y noble, aunque algo miedoso por todo lo vivido. Se lleva bien con otros perros y necesita, más que nunca, una familia comprometida, paciente y con ganas de darle el amor y los cuidados que tanto merece. Sabemos que no es una adopción fácil, pero Leo es un perro especial que solo necesita una oportunidad. Su corazón es tan grande como sus ganas de vivir.

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a small young adult podenco dog waiting at Fundacion Animal Rescue.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸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 Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacion Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacion Animal Rescue 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 Leo 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 Leo 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 Fundacion Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo 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 (ES). 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.
