Adopt Prince

Podenco · Male

Prince was abandoned on the streets but was desperate for love and affection and to interact with other dogs, so he was approaching on lead dogs and playing with them. Someone tried to catch him but he disappeared. In the end he was darted by the authorities and sent to a pererra. A few locals who had been used to seeing him around the local town rallied round and approached one of our fosters for help and Prince found himself in a home with lots of other podencos! He’s a gentle sensitive boy who took a bit of time to warm up but was brilliant with the other dogs from day 1. Once he started finding his feet, it was clear how much he loves humans too! He loves a snuggle on the sofa and enjoys being made a fuss off. He settles will in the home and slots into routine easily. Prince was adopted in 2025 and moved to a home locally in Spain where he did really well. Due to an unforeseen change in personal circumstances, that wasn’t meant to be so Prince is back in Spain in foster with 8 other dogs. He is doing brilliantly but really needs a home of his own. We think he’d prefer other doggy companions ideally. And a big city might be a bit overwhelming for him, but towns and anything more rural would suit him just fine. He is such a sweet boy, with the most wonderful dappled nose that really makes him stand out! We think Prince could live with older children. Prince is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. He is passported and available for adoption now. If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below

About Prince

What life with Prince looks like

Prince is a large adult podenco dog waiting at Hope for Podencos in Albacete.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Prince, answered.

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