Vivian - UK

Podenco · Female · Senior · 15 years

Vivian was adopted to the UK by another rescue 3 years ago. Sadly due to difficult personal circumstances, her adopters could no longer care for her. We have agreed with her initial rescue to take her on under Hope For Podencos and find a home for her. She is currently in foster and we are now looking for a permanent home for her. She’s a wonderful girl who is well adjusted to life in a home. Clean in the house, will happily settle and relax in between walks. Good with other dogs and takes great comfort in their presence so we’d like her to go to a home with at least one other dog. Now that she has settled with her foster family, she has some really lovely carefree, playful moments - she even attempts to get the resident 15 year old to play (much to his disgust!). She previously lived with children so she could go into a home with children who are 8+. She is not suitable for cats. Vivian walks nicely on a lead although can be a little apprehensive of busy roads and loud noises and can also react to other dogs whilst on the lead - something her current fosters have started work on. She also finds the car a little bit stressful currently and pants quite a lot but does lie down and settle - we think once she is used to it this will dissipate and we can also help with this. Whilst she is initially shy with people, she soon warms up once she gets to know you and her fosters describe her as the ‘sweetest, gentlest girl’. She loves to spend time with her people but doesn’t have to be glued to your side and will happily take herself off to snooze or relax. Vivian is neutered, and we will ensure she is vaccinated and tested for Mediterranean diseases. She is passported and available for adoption now.

About Vivian - UK

What life with Vivian - UK looks like

Vivian - UK is a senior podenco dog waiting at Hope for Podencos in Albacete.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Vivian - UK, answered.

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