Hurray you are interested adopting one of our Podencos!

If you have any questions about one of our Podencos, please contact us at hopeforpodencos@gmail.com.

Please complete our pre-adoption form. It is our policy to make certain that each person who applies to adopt a Podenco is over 18 years old, fully aware of the responsibilities of dog ownership, and is capable of and willing to accept those responsibilities morally, physically and financially. Not every person who applies to adopt can meet those basic requirements. By completing this form, you will be assisting us in determining if the Podenco you have an interest in would suit you and your family’s lifestyle. This is a lifetime commitment, and you should only complete the form if you are willing to undertake this.

What to expect after submitting your pre-adoption form

Once we receive the form, we will set up a time to have a telephone call to chat. We will then arrange a home check (completed virtually) to ensure the safety and security of a Podenco inside the house and garden (if relevant). Once you have passed the home check, we can advise which Podenco(s) are suitable for you and agree on a final adoption date and transport to your home.

  • Reservation fee (covers care costs such as vaccinations, neutering, health checks etc.) = £175.00.

  • Final adoption fee = £175.00

  • Transport costs = dependent on location

I am aware of the the following breed guidance:

Do you/your partner work?

Are there any children living at this address?
e.g. canicross, hikes, just a companion or pet. This helps us make recommendations as some of our podencos have injuries and would not be able to do long hikes, but some will really benefit from this in their life!
Type of property?
Does your home have a garden?
Is your garden securely fenced in?
If securely fenced, how tall are your walls/fences at the lowest point?
If rental accomodation, do you have the landlord's permission to have a dog at this address?
Are you aware of the ongoing costs involved in keeping an animal?
(i.e. vaccinations, worming, feeding, flea control and any other vet treatment which it may require?)
I acknowledge the following:
All HFP dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, passported, blood tested for Leishmania, Fliaria, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Anaplasma & Brucella, dewormed & given flea treatment and will be Neutered/castrated if at the appropriate age prior to adoption.
I understand the following:
A donation is to be paid for a dog or puppy and this is a contribution towards upkeep, vet treatment and transport
I give permission for a trusted volunteer to complete a home check on my property
DISCLAIMER
I understand that the dog will be rehomed as a pet and is not to be kept outside whether chained or left in a kennel. The dog is to be a companion and not used as a guard dog or for breeding purposes. I understand that although we tell you everything we know about a dog we are rehoming, we do not always have a complete history and therefore we cannot guarantee health/behaviour 100%.
