AVAILABLE DOGS

UPDATE: RESERVED FOR ADOPTION! 

The handsome Mateo is a 9 yr old large sized orito mix who gets along well with dogs, but he has to get to know them. Once he does there are no problems. He has limited vision & would do best with only one or two other dogs because of his poor eyesight. He's super sweet, snuggly, & very unassuming. He was found as a stray wandering & unable to see. He was rescued by the amazing folks with Project Berta in Spain. If interested in giving this sweet old guy a soft place to land, please send us a message. You won't regret it! 

UPDATE: RESERVED FOR ADOPTION! 

While this little guy is NOT a sighthound, he's actually another breed in Portugal treated very badly after their usefulness is done. He's a Cão da Serra de Aires mix, a Portuguese sheepdog, used for herding sheep. These loveable dogs are very mid mannered & Pastor is a great example of that. He's roughly 8 years old & will come to the US this fall, where he has a family waiting to adopt him. He'll come to us thanks to Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. 

 Sweet little girl Beth is a super shy girl of only 2 years old. We have no idea what’s happened to her to make her that way this early in life but we’ll work to ensure she gets the very best future. As with all of our shy dogs, we’ll require her adopter to have a GPS tracker on her at all times. She’s currently staying with our friends at Casa de Postas & we plan to bring her over this fall. If interested in learning more about this shy girl, please send us a message. 

 This sweet older guy with the frosty face is Howden! He will come to us this fall from Mandy's Rescue Dogs in Spain. He's 7 years old & currently being treated for anaplamsa & babesia. He's good with dogs of all sizes but probably not cat friendly. If interested in adopting or fostering this handsome gentleman, please send us a message.

 Roll out the red carpet, Bianca is coming! This little spitfire is currently at Mandy's Rescue Dogs in Spain & will come to us this fall. While initially they thought that she was around 13, she's probably more like 8. She's a happy, carefree girl who's great with other dogs. It's unknown at this time if she's cat friendly. If interested in adopting this gorgeous girl, send us a message or fill out an app on our website! 

 Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear! Well, actually a podengo. Make that TWO podengos! These gorgeous little fuzzy guys are Toze & Ze Miguel & their story is quite a sad one. They've been in a shelter in Portugal for over SEVEN years! Through thick & thin they've had each other all those years. Fortunately for them, Bring Podengos to Light is now helping them. We want to change their future & would love to find them a family where they can remain together thru their golden years. Both these boys are around 9 years old & are completely healthy. We would like to bring them to the US this fall, if we can find a family willing to take on both boys. If you think they might be a good fit, please send us a message. We're looking for a foster or even better, an adopter for them! 

  This little girl may NOT be a sighthound but she definitely needs us to help her. She has quite a sad story. Little Martina was adopted out by Casa de Postas as a puppy. She ended up going back to them at age 2 because they never socialized her and never sterilized her as they were required to do. She was then adopted out again and later showed up at a vet’s office. She apparently got loose from her family & they never bothered to look for her. She’s now back again at Casa de Postas and 8 years old. I agreed to help her so that she doesn’t spend the rest of her life in a shelter, never knowing the true love of a family. She’s very good with people but gets nervous around a group of dogs so she’ll need to be adopted by a family with only 1 or 2 gentle dogs & a quiet home. Her mother was a pinscher but they have no idea what dad was. What she IS though is gorgeous & super sweet and snuggly with a gentle nature. We plan to bring this girl over this fall. If interested in fostering or adopting, please send us a message or fill out an application.

Better call Saul! Sorry, I just had to do that. This little spitfire is Saul & in a moment of weakness I agreed to bring him to the US to help him find a family. Everyone KNOWS how much I love the manetos! Such little clowns they are! What I didn't realize at the time was that this boy is VERY young! As in not quite a year old young! But no matter his age, we know we can find him a wonderful family. If interested in this boy & you'd like to see videos of him, swing over to our Facebook page & check out his album. We plan to bring this little guy to the US this fall! Send us a message if interested. I doubt he's available for long!

What's not to love about sweet little Betty's smile? Anotherlucky dog saved by Casa de Postas. Since she hasn't found her forever in Spain, we've decided to bring her to the US to find the perfect family for her. And instead of trying to describe her, I'll just post what Angelica posted about her from Spain: Do you know of those magical beings who, no matter what, have decided to be happy and enjoy life? They exist in all races and they have the power to illuminate the world with their smile and at the same time make you laugh out loud with their occurrences. In the years that we have been rescuing and rehabilitating we have been lucky enough to meet some of these beings. Betty is one of them, if we look back and look at what we know of her previous life we ​​do not understand how they can be radiant with joy and happiness. But precisely for this reason they are magical beings. Betty lived chained in a filthy place full of parasites, along with her two puppies, surely she had more but they would die or who knows what happened to them. When we managed to get her to our shelter, the damn parvo outbreak arrived and she took to the fire and kept her hospitalized for almost 20 days. In the meantime, she dedicated herself to caring for two greyhound babies who did not contract the disease. Both Brisa and the Galgos puppies were adopted, Betty is still with us. You may wonder why such a special dog does not have a waiting list to be adopted? I am going to answer you. Because of his physique, his race, his age, his size. Betty is chubby (she loves to eat), podenca, three years old and does not weigh six kilos. Result of that equation, you have to spend a lot of time in the shelter. If you are one of those who drives you crazy about magical beings and you don't give a shit about the beauty of perfect dogs, pay attention to these photos and video. If interested in fostering or adopting the magical Betty, send us a message! 

 Sweet & shy little Vera is about 9 years old & would really benefit from getting into a home where she can start to feel more comfortable. She's shy initially but we think that will get better given the proper amount of time to blossom. She's currently with our friends at Casa de Postas but will be heading to the US in September! Our thanks go to Galgo Podenco Support (GPS) for helping to sponsor Vera's flight! If interested in fostering or adopting this little 12 lb gem, please send us a message! 

  The handsome Ares is a Spanish Mastin & the first one for the Sanctuary! This gorgeous 2 yr old boy is considered special needs because he either needs to live as an only dog or with just one or two females & also no cats. He also will need a secure fenced yard for exercise. 

He's currently working with a trainer in Spain & was rescued thanks to our friends at Proyecto Berta! If you'd like to learn more about him & possibly foster or adopt this big, gorgeous boy, please send us a message! 

 Haley was rescued along with Vera & Sue in Spain. All three of these girls were in horrible condition both physically and emotionally. Haley had a huge hygroma on her side that's since been removed. She will need a quiet family who can accept her for the shy homebody that she is. She would be great for someone who's retired and stays home a lot with few visitors. 

If you'd like to learn more about this special girl, please send us a message.
