AVAILABLE DOGS
Tom & Jerry
Tom & Jerry
Tom & Jerry
This dynamic duo is known as Tom & Jerry. They were rescued in Spain and are both 10 years old. We're not totally sure if they're brothers but they were taken from the same hunter and were also rescued with Tango & Frankie, who are also available for adoption! They're also totally bonded to each other and will need to be placed together.
These boys were actually adopted in Spain together & lived in a home for several months. Thru no fault of their own, they were returned to the rescue and in working with Project Berta, one of our partner groups in Spain, we decided that it would be in their best interest to bring them to the US to find a new family where they .
These boys love to go for walks and hikes and would be great walking companions for an active family. We feel that they're not cat safe, although they've not been tested with any yet. We also think they would do best with kids over the age of 10. These special boys are being fostered in FL.
Fernando
Tom & Jerry
Tom & Jerry
Our sweet old guy Fernando could tell a lot of stories but unfortunately a lot of them would be sad ones, based on the scars on his body. He was more than likely dropped at the shelter by a hunter & was probably used to hunt wild boar. This dashing gentleman wants nothing more than to be loved on for the rest of his life. The amazing Estela from Proyecto Berta saw him at a perrera while picking up two other Sanctuary seniors & ended up going back to get him. He looked so sad that she just couldn't leave him there. He quickly learned how to enjoy all the comforts of family life with his foster family like dog beds & treats. He hasn't been tested with cats but we doubt that he'll be cat friendly. The best news for this dashing dude is that he's now in the US & currently being fostered in MD.
Please send us a message if you'd like to learn more about him!
Diego
Tom & Jerry
Diego
Diego is a sweet old pod who hasn't gotten the best out of life but he's on to bigger & better things because he's now in the US searching for his forever family. This old man just wants a quiet family, preferably with no kids under the age of 12. He’s also cat friendly. He takes some inexpensive meds & a supplement along with kidney food to support his kidney function. If interested in adopting this sweet old man, please send us a message! He's currently being fostered in PA.
Lucas
Stephanie
Diego
This little boy was found in very bad condition. Extremely skinny and among several injuries, one likely resulting from being hit with a pitchfork. He was rescued and was in a shelter but was then attacked by other dogs twice. Lucas then stopped eating. Thankfully he was then helped even further by Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. This sweet 11 year old is currently in the US looking for love. He's being fostered in MD but can travel for the right family. If interested in fostering or adopting this boy & giving him the forever that he's always deserved, please send us a message!
Stephanie
Stephanie
Stephanie
Stephanie is a stunning 8 yr old Podenco who came to us from Casa de Postas in Spain. She needs at least one other canine companion to follow & take direction from. At this time she appears to be cat friendly. She's currently being fostered in NC. If interested in adopting or fostering this gorgeous girl, please send us a message!
Pluto
Stephanie
Stephanie
This little guy is Pluto & he's about 9 years old. He was rescued by Asociacion Protectora Argos & just as he was getting cleared medically he decided to sprain his foot. Now that he's recovered from that, we've brought him to the US to find true love! Our continued thanks go out to Galgo Podenco Support for helping to sponsor this cat safe sweet old guy! If interested in fostering or adopting, please send us a message! He's currently being fostered in VA but can travel for the right family!
Flora & Lina
Flora & Lina
Flora & Lina
Flora & Lina are either siblings or Flora is Lina's mom. We don't have any idea which it is but we definitely know they're related. Both these girls are podenco mixes from Spain. They were abandoned by their hunter in Spain & spent a LONG time in a kennel. They're not only black, podenco mixes, but also VERY shy. Their foster family is working with them on socialization and making them understand that not all humans are bad. The jury is still out whether we feel that they need to remain together or would do better separately. Some shy dogs can feed off of each other's anxieties. We will require that their new family keep a GPS tracker on them at all times. They're currently being fostered in MA.
DOGS WAITING IN SPAIN
Mateo
Pastor
Pastor
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!
Pastor
Pastor
Pastor
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.
Beth
Pastor
Howden
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.
Howden
Toze & Ze Miguel
Howden
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.
Bianca
Toze & Ze Miguel
Toze & Ze Miguel
UPDATE: RESERVED FOR ADOPTION!
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!

Toze & Ze Miguel
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!
Martina
Toze & Ze Miguel
Martina
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.
Saul
Toze & Ze Miguel
Martina
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!
