Introducing
Robbie in the UK.

Robbie is about to loose his foster placement due to holiday plans and needs to find a another home urgently.

He is such a wonderful chap and we don’t understand why he is being overlooked, so we have built a page just for him!

What is life with Robbie like?

“Living with Robbie has taught us many things; mainly that personal space is a fictional concept, if he isn’t leaning on us he is lying on us, he is big, he is loving and believes he is an Italian Greyhound. Robbie means cuddles, goofiness and a best friend, he brings laughter, loyalty and a whole lot of love. We have watched him trust again, seeing his personality unfold, he has a zest for life, Robbie isn’t too big or too much he is simply waiting for someone to see the incredible companion he can be.”

Robbie is a clever boy

He does really well with training and learns quickly - he is smart and curious, he can cope with so many environments he just needs to be given a chance!

Robbie loves other dogs

And needs another dog in the home.

He loves to play with them, cuddle them, walk with them, travel with them.

Robbie loves people

He loves to play with people, cuddle people, sleep on people, greet people!

He’s just a big love bug.

Robbie is a character

Robbie is a Podenco through and through and has an abundance of character - he is cheeky, we know he is cheeky, and we love it.

How can I adopt or foster Robbie?

  • Robbie needs to be in his new placement by Sunday 10th May 2026.

  • Absolutely, he is currently based on Nottingham and available for met and greets! Your own location is not an issue as the HFP team can help facilitate to bring him closer to you.

  • Robbie has lived with young children before and adores them, but he is a big boy and can be a greedy boy so dog savvy children a must!

  • Robbie has lived with Cats in the past yes, and we are open to another placement with confident cats.

  • Yes Robbie can be left with aothoing dog in the home for a few hours no problem and does have some experience with crate training.
