PEPITO

Podenco · Male

Pepito is a charming boy. He is a small-sized podenco, weighing less than 7 kilos, and has a huge heart. Pepito was left to his fate on the street. Until a girl, after a while following him and making a food routine to approach him, was able to catch him. As soon as she caught him, she contacted us to help her, since she couldn't take care of him. When Pepito arrived at the shelter, he was scared, but in a few days he gained confidence and now he is friendly, close and affectionate. He gets along very well with the other dogs. Because of his small size and good character, all the volunteers are in love with him. Pepito deserves a family that gives him all the love and security he didn't have on the street.

Pepito es un chico encantador. Es un podenco de tamaño pequeño, pesa menos de 7 kilos y tiene un corazón enorme. Pepito estaba abandonado a su suerte en la calle. Hasta que una chica, después de un tiempo siguiéndolo y haciéndole rutina de comida para acercarse a él, pudo cogerlo. En cuanto lo cogió se puso en contacto con nosotros para que le ayudáramos, ya que ella no se podía hacer cargo de él. Cuando Pepito llegó al refugio estaba asustado, pero en pocos días tomó confianza y ahora se muestra simpático, cercano y cariñoso. Se lleva muy bien con los demás perros. Por su pequeño tamaño y su buen carácter todos los voluntarios están enamorados de él. Pepito se merece una familia que le dé todo el amor y la seguridad que no tuvo en la calle.

About PEPITO

What life with PEPITO looks like

PEPITO is a small adult podenco dog waiting at Galgos en Familia.

An 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 PEPITO, answered.

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