How do I contact the shelter about Remo?

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 Remo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Remo 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 Remo 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 Remo 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 Remo 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.

Remo

Podenco · Male · Puppy

Remo came into rescue in March 2026 after being found by the police in Almería in a terrible condition. He was extremely thin, hadn't eaten for two days and initially refused both food and water. It soon became clear that Remo had also suffered a serious injury to his tongue, believed to have been caused by contact with processionary caterpillars, whose toxins can cause severe tissue damage. Thankfully, he didn't require surgery and, following hospitalisation, fluids, antibiotics and pain relief, he began to recover. Remo has lost a significant amount of his tongue, so he has had to adapt the way he eats, drinks and even cleans himself. He has learnt how to drink by lowering his mouth into a large bowl and gulping the water, and eating certainly isn't a problem for him! Because he can't groom himself as effectively as other dogs, he may occasionally need a helping hand with a wipe down, which fortunately he rather enjoys. Now recovered, Remo is enjoying life in foster in Spain, where he lives indoors alongside Podencos of different ages, sizes and personalities. He coexists well with them, although he isn't particularly interested in playing and can become a little frustrated when the others are play fighting as its a very busy home full of dogs. His fosterer feels he would prefer to be an only dog and would lap up all the fuss for himself, but he could also live alongside a calm, compatible canine companion. Like many rescues, Remo can sometimes guard his food around other dogs, so this will need to be managed sensibly in his new home if he is living with another dog. We always recommend feeding separately for any new dogs. He enjoys his walks and walks well on the lead, and his fosterer has seen very little hunting instinct from him so far. He is around 80% housetrained and will need some continued support while settling into a new routine. After everything Remo has been through, he has adapted remarkably well. His missing tongue makes him a little different, and means his family will need to make a few small adjustments for him, but it certainly doesn't stop him enjoying life. He is ready for someone to see beyond his past and give him the comfortable home he deserves. Remo 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 Remo

What life with Remo looks like

Remo is a large 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.
