AVAILABLE DOGS

Dexter

 Dexter is just as fun-loving as his name! This cute little guy is a podenco maneto mix, better known as the low-riders of the podenco world. He'll charm your socks off & loves to play. He's great with other dogs but it's unknown how he is with cats yet. 

He loves to snuggle with other dogs & should have at least one other dog in the house for companionship. He's not a fan of very young kids so his new family shouldn't have any kids under the age of 10. 

Dexter is currently being fostered in VA but can travel! 

Big Dipper, fka Halla

 This is Big Dipper! Dipper is a loving, loyal, 5 year old greyhound. He came to the U.S. from South Korea when he was 1 year old and has never raced. He is curious, very food motivated and well-behaved. He weighs 70 pounds and is very tall! Dipper loves going on long walks and running in a fenced area—almost as much as he loves sleeping on the couch! His favorite activities are cuddling on the couch and sleeping on the floor beside his family. Big Dipper has lived with one family for his three and a half years in Maryland, including with another large dog. Dipper should not live in a home with cats or children under 12. He is a really wonderful, affectionate dog, and will undoubtedly make his new owners very happy as he has with his current family. He has decided that he no longer wants to live with small kids & we all felt that it would be best to find him a home with no small kids. He's being fostered in MD & is loking for a family on the east coast so his family can stay in touch. 

Gitano & Vida

Gitano & Vida

  Who can resist this charming little pair? Gitano & Vida were adopted in Spain several years ago but sadly now they’re looking for a new family due to their mom’s terminal illness. Not only are they great with other dogs but they’re also cat & kid friendly! If you’re looking for companions who are turnkey & ready to start their new lives, please consider them! A huge thanks to Project Berta for taking them in when they needed it the most. They're currently being fostered in IL but can travel for the right family.  

Onyx

Macadamia

Gitano & Vida

 This sweet little whippet mix is very young & active, she's roughly 1-2 yrs old. She came to us thanks to our friends with Team Inch Sighthound Rescue in S. Korea. She's looking for an active family who can keep up with her. She plays hard, loves hard, & I'm sure sleeps hard! Be aware that 3 ft baby gates do not contain Onyx. She needs a secure fenced area to burn her energy & also regular walks. She would be great for someone interested in doing some light jogging. 

She's currently being fostered in VA but can travel! 

Freckles

Macadamia

Macadamia

 Someone is going to be very lucky to add this sweet little laid back girl! Freckles is a 6 year old podenco who spent more than 4 years waiting in a shelter in Spain until she was pulled from there by our friends at Proyecto Berta in Spain. We have no idea why because this girl is absolute perfection. She’s roughly 35 lbs but on the shorter side for a podenco. She’s not only great with other dogs but also cat friendly! Freckles should have a very secure fenced yard with at least a 5 ft fence. She can be an escape artist until she’s used to her new family. She’s shy initially but still very willing to wag her tail for you. This girl is going to absolutely blossom for someone who gives her the patience she craves. She just arrived to the US Oct 18 so we’re still getting to know her, but all signs point to her being a true unicorn. She’s currently being fostered in VA but can travel for the right family.

 ❤️ Meet Macadamia — A Little Shy, A Whole Lot of Wonderful! ❤️

There's absolutely nothing not to love about Macadamia! 🐾

This fabulous 18-month-old Galgo mix has spent her entire life growing up at Terrican Adopta, a rescue in Spain. Sadly, Galgo mixes have very little chance of being adopted there, and Macadamia and her entire litter are still waiting for someone to give them the loving homes they deserve. 💔

We're hoping Macadamia can help change that! Once people see just how amazing she is, maybe some of her siblings will get their chance, too. ❤️

So, what makes Macadamia so special? Pretty much everything! While she may be a little shy when first meeting someone, she warms up quickly and is soon showing off her sweet personality. She loves people, gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, is great with kids, and is even cat-friendly! Don't just take our word for it — check out the video in her photo album! 🐶🐱

At 52 pounds, she's a lovely size and is ready to leave her rescue days behind and start the next chapter of her life with a family of her own. She'll need a securely fenced yard with a fence at least 5 feet tall where she can safely stretch her legs and enjoy some outdoor time.

Macadamia is currently being fostered in Indianapolis, Indiana, but she can travel for the right family!

✨ Could Macadamia be the missing piece of your family? ✨

If you're looking for a sweet, social, adaptable young dog who has so much love to give, look no further! Macadamia is ready to trade her long wait for a lifetime of love. All she needs now is someone to give her that chance.

Please share to help this wonderful girl find the forever home she's been waiting for! ❤️🐾
