Hope for Podencos
Together we are stronger.
Hope For Podencos is a registered charity, but we are more than that. We are a community built by those working towards the same goal. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, spread awareness and provide support for Podencos of all shapes and sizes. We do this through our extensive network and dedicated team.
No longer will they be ‘The Great Forgotten’ as we are their voice.

“Babu is a lovely boy who shows real loyalty and affection once he gets to know you.
In the home he settles very quickly and enjoys being close to his people. His favourite place for sleeping and downtime is his crate, where he happily watches the world go by.
He can be a little unsure at times, but with consistency and a calm approach he really thrives and settles into a routine.
Babu loves being fussed, especially around his neck and ears, and will often come and gently rest his head in your lap just to be close.
On a day-to-day basis he is wonderful company and really just wants to feel safe, loved and part of the home.”

Jimbo needs a calm home with a routine where his humans can remember that change is a big thing for him.
He needs another dog as he gets a lot of his confidence from them and loves to play and cuddle up to them.
He does always need to be on a lead when out on walks and needs guidance from his human for curbs and roads.
-
Jimbo is a brave little lad and curious to boot!
He has a huge character and is incredibly smart - he has learned to sit, lie down, paw.
He is so affectionate with humans and loves his walks - he has even taken to a doggy back pack when needed!

Cati ideally needs another dog in the home to help her with her confidence.
She needs a calm, rural home with a garden where she can continue to thrive.

Cati LOVES being outside and walks beautifully on the lead.
She has her favourite spot on the sofa where she can relax, and whilst she doesn’t necessarily approach for a fuss is happy to have you sit next to her to and give her some affection.

Meet Our Founders.
Irene and Steve Allan have over 30 years experience with dogs, Irene in the showing arena and both of them as groomers. They moved from Scotland to Spain in 2009 and donated their time grooming rescue dogs in the shelters in the hope this would make them more adoptable, this is how they discovered the The Plight of the Podenco. They set up the ‘Hope For Podencos’ foundation in 2014, focusing on this particular breed that so needed their support.
Podencos come in all shapes and sizes.
We understand not everyone is in a position to adopt a Podenco, but there are still so many ways you can help. Please FOLLOW us on social media and SHARE our beautiful pods, you have no idea the power of a like, comment or share - it only takes one person to see that post to find a dog their forever home.
