Canela & Careta – Two Gentle Podenco Girls Deserving of a Peaceful Retirement

Canela and Careta are two beautiful older podenco girls who have just been handed in by their owner — a hunter who no longer wanted them. At around 10½ to 11 years old, they were likely no longer of use to him. After a life of giving, they were simply left behind. It’s a sad and all-too-common reality for many hunting dogs.

Despite everything, both Canela and Careta remain gentle souls. There’s a quiet dignity about them — a calmness that speaks of patience and resilience. They are sweet, and open to kindness, as if still hoping that life has something better to offer.

We don’t know if they’ve ever known the comfort of a real home, a warm bed, or a person who truly cared for them. But we do know they deserve to experience all of that now.

They can be adopted together or separately. What matters most is that they find loving homes where they can enjoy their remaining years in peace and safety. With proper care, these lovely girls could still have many good years ahead.

Please consider opening your heart to one — or both — of them. Let’s make sure that the final chapter of their lives is written with love, not abandonment.

This gorgeous dog is available for adoption in the UK. Homecheck and adoption fee apply. Adoption fee includes neutering, passport, microchip, all vaccinations, blood tests to screen for diseases, worm and flea treatment. Adoption cost in Spain (if no transport required) 155€ for males and €165 for females.

Adoption costs to the UK are £570. This includes all DEFRA paperwork and transport by DEFRA registered carrier ( using the TRACES system) direct to your door, except London, within the M25 motorway, Highlands of Scotland beyond Perth, and all off islands (if we cannot deliver direct, a mutually convenient meeting place will be arranged). We sort out all the arrangements and delivery/ meeting times will be advised in advance by the transporter.

For dogs brought to the UK by SSDUK to go initially into foster care, adopters will still be required to pay the full adoption fee of £570 to cover the above expenses.

In some cases, for example a failed adoption of a dog already in the UK, the fee may be reduced to £320 where the initial transport costs from Spain have already been met. This is to cover transport within the UK, kennel fees and any checks required.
