Who wouldn’t want a Coconut in your life? With a name like that, you know this boy will be fun! Coco is a young boy under 2 years old, but won’t you don’t see is that he’s deaf & has been since birth. He’s fortunate that our friends with Proyecto Berta came to his aid in Spain and wanted a better future for him. This happy boy loves other dogs, is medium sized, and enjoys being loved on. He’s looking for a special family who will remember his special qualities. Coco is currently being fostered in IL but can travel. Please fill out an application on our website if you want to meet this very special boy.

This is Trisha! She's a 3 year old Saluki mix originally from Oman. She came to the US in 2021. Her owner passed away & she sadly found herself with no one to care for her. Trisha is a super happy girl & is still very active! She'll need a fenced yard with at least a 5 ft fence & also a playful dog in her home. Because she plays rough, she'll do best with dogs at least 30 lbs & we'll say that she's probably not cat friendly either. She's currently being fostered in IN, but can travel for the right family!
This little old man is Eusebio & he’s 10 yrs old. He’s about 30 lbs & has been waiting at Mastines en la Calle in Spain for over 6 months. We didn't want to see him spend any more time in a shelter so we brought him to the US! He’s good with other dogs & loves attention. As an older guy, he does have some mild cataracts. If you have space for him as a new addition, fill out an application or send us a message! He's currently being fostered in MD but can travel for the right family.
His only requirement for his new family is to have LOTS of soft toys to carry around. He thinks there's nothing like them & can often be seen carrying at least 2-4 around at one time!
Dudo is a 1 year old Portuguese Podengo saved from a pound by SOS Podenco Rescue. He measures 47 cm to the shoulders, so medium-smallish size . He is affectionate and quite confident. He is not scared of walking in a city. He is very excited to meet people and other animals, so he needs to learn to have manners and control his emotions. Better to avoid young children and cats, unless it's a cat that doesn't react at all to dogs. He is playful with other dogs and active. We think that the company of a well-balanced dog would show him to be less excited about everything. Dudo has an amazing supporter who donated to help get him here to the US to find his very own family. He's waited a very long time & we're happy to be able to help!
He's currently being fostered near Buffalo, NY but can travel for the right family!
Sweet little Flor is a 5 year old podengo mix from Portugal. She's one of the lucky 4 dogs who arrived on our all-black dog flight thanks to our partnership with Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. She's about 30 lbs, gets along with other dogs, & is also cat safe! She's looking for her very own forever family & will also be accompanied by her son, Bolt, who already has a family waiting. She's being fostered in VA but can travel for the right family!
Please help us welcome Igor to the Sanctuary family! Igor is a 6 yr old Portuguese Podengo mix from Portugal & he came to the US with help from our friends at Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. Even though his passport says 6, I think he may be around 8 based on that sweet old man face. I think those eyes have seen a lot over the years. Igor, as you can see, is great with kids & is an all-around super dog. He arrived on our black dog flight on Feb 29 & is being fostered in DE, but he's still looking for a forever family. If you think you've got enough soft dog beds for this adorable old fella, submit an application!
Our grandmother Luna was taken from the sport dog kennel in Spain about nine years ago and was adopted by a family from Huelva that ended up separating. Luna was adopted by someone else, but eight years later at three-fifteen in the morning the local police called the rescue group when she was found alone on the street.
She has lived with children and adult dogs and cats all these years.
She has a very good character, she is not afraid at all, & is very affectionate. She's having a hard time after spending all these yrs of being a pet to now staying in a kennel so we want to bring her to the US this spring.
Who's looking for some short love in their life?! This little guy is Dexter & he's got two things working against him... First, he's a boy. Did you know that the male dogs have a harder time getting out of the pounds & rescues in Spain? And second, he's a Maneto Mix, which I happen to think makes him extra magical, but apparently not everyone feels the same. Thanks to our friends at SOS Podenco Rescue, he now has a shot at a great life. Dexter is young, probably around 1 yr old so would love to have an active family, a fenced yard, & probably another dog companion in the house to play with. I'm pretty sure that whoever adopts this little guy will fall in love immediately. While he may be young, he's very respectful of other dogs! He's currently being fostered in MN, but can travel for the right family. If you'd like to meet this little short stack, fill out an adoption application on our website!
