How do I contact the shelter about Yuffie?

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

Can I adopt Yuffie 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 Yuffie 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 Yuffie 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 Yuffie 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.

Yuffie

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Yuffie was surrendered along with 4 other adult podencos and 12 puppies from a hunter. Some of the puppies were her own. The group of podencos in general were very shy and timid and had clearly lacked socialisation. Yuffie was a fantastic mum and did a great job of raising her puppies who have all since gone one to find homes of there own. Yuffie can still be very timid and shy around strangers until she learns to trust them, but around the regular volunteers she is a happy, sweet girl who enjoys a fuss and playing with people, toys and other dogs. We think she’ll progress quickest in a home with at least one other dog, but for a patient owner, could live as an only dog. Once she knows you, she is very happy to come up to you to ask for cuddles and is happy to be picked up for a fuss. She loves her food and this is a great way to help her build confidence and win her trust, although her weight will need to be watched as she could already do with losing a tiny bit in order to be in optimum condition. She really is a lovely girl, with such a striking deep coloured coat and a slightly darker muzzle. She has been cat tested and could live in a home with cats. We think a town/village or somewhere more rural would be ideal for her rather than a city and she would also really benefit from a garden where she can take it really slowly in the early days and weeks. She’s a wonderful girl who has already shown how she can learn to trust and we know she’ll blossom into a wonderful character in a home. Yuffie will be neutered, is vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases excluding Ehrlichiosis - as already stated she has tested positive and is receiving treatment for this, so we can retest for the all clear. She is passported and available for adoption now. If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below

About Yuffie

What life with Yuffie looks like

Yuffie is a very small 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.
