Please look at us ...

It's not just the long stayers we want to highlight. They are indeed special cases, having been with us far too long for no good reason, as they are all good dogs. As are all our dogs. Because we highlight some it doesn't mean all the hundreds of others are not equally deserving.

However, today I also want to throw the spotlight on some dogs who, for various reasons, we consider urgent cases. You can see them on the home page under the banner of ... you guessed it, 'urgent please look at me!'

Most of these dogs are still very young, easily assimilated into a family and eager to learn. Many have been with us since they were tiny puppies, some barely before their eyes were opened. Their brothers and sisters have been adopted, but they remain - who knows why.  There is also a sweet oldie among them and some gentle, sensitive Podencos.

Here they are, the darlings.

Leah

Leah is nearly two years old. With her seven brothers and sisters she was brought to the Refugio by a man who said he had 'found' them. She's a dear, affectionate dog with a lovely personality and is currently living with a foster family in Belgium. Who will give her the loving, forever home she needs and deserves.

 

Yako now and as a puppy.

Yako is one of a litter of 9 black and white puppies found in the Campo. They were barely born and it's thanks to the devotion of our great foster mother, Amalia, that they survived and thrived. They are now all nearly two and healthy young dogs. Some, like Yako, still need loving homes. 

 

Loloh now and as a puppy.

Loloh is Yako's brother. Taken in by Amalia and, with his brothers and sisters, bottle fed because their mum was so weak and hadn't the strength to feed all nine pups. Loloh, like his brother, is still in Spain and growing fast. At nearly two years old he needs his own family, we really don't want these pups to become long-stayers.

Kwasi

Kwasi is a wonderful, French Bulldog cross. A wonderful, fun loving dog he is now nearly three and is looking for a family who will love him forever. Problem free, 'friendliness on four legs', that's our Kwasi. He quickly finds his place in any group and will be the star of your family. 

Roxanna

Beautiful Roxana is nearly three years old. She was found on the streets, no place for a sensitive dog. We rescued her; at first she was unsettled and somewhat overwhelmed. She is still a bit hesitant but once she gets to know you she is the sweetest friend. Who will give this lovely Podenco girl a life as beautiful as she is?

Arnold

Arnold is eighteen months old. He hasn't been with us very long but he is a shy boy who needs the help of a patient owner to gently coax him out of his shell, show him that life and people can be good and that the horrible experience of the killing station is behind him. Who will give lovely Arnold the second chance he so badly needs and deserves.

Nino

Our dear Nino. He's in foster care in Belgium but he's already nine years old and we badly need to find him a loving home.  He's fine with older children but it's best he isn't placed with young kids or small dogs and cats. Nevertheless he has a lovely character - a sweet, calm dog who loves to play.
