Gordo – A Sweet Podenco Ready for a Second Chance.
Gordo is an adorable 8-year-old Podenco with a charm that melts hearts. This gentle dog seems confused and a little lost after ending up in the pound, confined to a small cage. Despite his situation, Gordo remains incredibly affectionate and kind toward people, always eager for love and attention.
With the arrival of winter, the pound has become cold and damp—a harsh place for a dog like Gordo. He deserves so much more: a loving family, a cozy bed to call his own, and all the care and affection he can get.
Gordo has also shown himself to be good with other dogs, both males and females. However, if things get too lively or overwhelming, he prefers to retreat to the safety of his cage for some peace and quiet. He’s not unfriendly with other dogs; he just values his personal space.
Let’s help Gordo find the forever home he truly deserves. Could you be the one to give him the life he’s been waiting for?
Gordo 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.
