Hope for Podencos

Together we are stronger.

Hope For Podencos is a registered charity, but we are more than that. We are a community built by those working towards the same goal. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, spread awareness and provide support for Podencos of all shapes and sizes. We do this through our extensive network and dedicated team.

No longer will they be ‘The Great Forgotten’ as we are their voice.

“Rusty is so affectionate with humans and loves time with people. A little love bug!
He can be a little reactive to other dogs but has lived with them in the past so with time we think will be able to again.
He is super trainable and food motivated which will help with his ongoing training.”

Meet Our Founders.

Irene and Steve Allan have over 30 years experience with dogs, Irene in the showing arena and both of them as groomers. They moved from Scotland to Spain in 2009 and donated their time grooming rescue dogs in the shelters in the hope this would make them more adoptable, this is how they discovered the The Plight of the Podenco. They set up the ‘Hope For Podencos’ foundation in 2014, focusing on this particular breed that so needed their support.
