Lulu's remaining four pups looking for forever homes
🐾

And Then There Were Four - Lulu's Pups Need Homes

These are the remaining four of Lulu's pups who are still looking for loving forever homes.

The pups have grown up in a home and are all well socialised, loving, and sweet babies. They are expected to grow into big adults, with mum being a GSD type and dad resembling a golden retriever.

If you are interested in adopting or have any questions, please contact us and we can put you in touch with Lulu's rescuers/forever family. Please share for Bluebell and her siblings.

Benny, Frankie & Minnie β€” small Pointer pups at Los Llanos

First time at the market β€” they did really well 😍

Minnie has a home check scheduled β€” she is reserved. Benny and Frankie are still available.

Very sweet and loving pups, only small (mum is a small Pointer; dad apparently a Dachshund type πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ).

We are currently looking for homes in Spain as they are not allowed to travel yet.

Home check and adoption fee will apply. Any questions, contact us ❀️

Ruby & Pearl ❀️

Two beautiful little Podenco-cross ladies 😍

They sat still for a little while so foster mum got to snap a photo πŸ˜ŠπŸ“Έ

Two sweet and loving girls who would make such a lovely addition to a family. They're Podenco x and will probably be medium to big size.

We're currently looking for homes in Spain but are open for them to travel to homes abroad in the future if we can't find the right families locally.

A secure garden would be great, and we believe they'd enjoy having a dog siblingβ€”or twoβ€”to play with and learn from.

If you are interested in adopting or have any questions, contact us. Home check and adoption fee will apply.

Mum's litter β€” three boys left ❀️

Nacho, Teo & Nando are looking for homes; their sisters have moved on. RΓ­o is reserved.

RΓ­o (the smallest) is reserved and will join his new family at the weekend πŸ‘ We don't have a separate photo of him here yet β€” below are his brothers Nacho, Teo and Nando.

From a litter of seven: only these three boys are still looking for forever homes. Four pups had their first jabs earlier this week and are now looking to find their future families 😍 β€” that includes reserved RΓ­o plus Nacho, Teo and Nando.

They are now 8 weeks old. RΓ­o (reserved) is the smallest at 1.7 kg; Nacho is the heaviest at 2.4 kg.

Mum is only a small girl at 12 kg; dad is unknown. They aren't expected to be very big β€” more small–medium.

Sweet, loving babies. Due to their age we're looking for homes in Spain for now. A secure garden would be great 🏑

If you are interested or have any questions, get in touch. Home check and adoption fee will apply.

Mum had her pups β€” Mummy Betty ❀️

Quick update: Betty and her six are a week old and thriving.

Betty and her babies are not available to adopt yet. We will post again when they are ready for enquiries β€” Betty herself will look for a forever home after weaning, when the time is right.

Quick update on Betty and her six munchkins, who are now a week old! All are doing well: pups are healthy and hungry, and mum is doing a great job feeding.

It's a lot of hard work, and she does take herself for a little time out, away from the hungries, every now and then ❀️🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

Luca - Looking for a Home
❀️

Luca - Looking for His Special Human ❀️

This beautiful, special 5-year-old boy is looking for his special human to spend his life with. He's been in foster care for a while now and deserves to find a home to call his own. 🏑🐾

Luca came to us after a traumatic time in his life. His owner suddenly died, leaving him and his best friend doggy Dag very unsure of what had happened. Luca has taken a long time to move beyond that and into the loving dog he now is. He's now a calm, gentle, loving lad who walks beautifully on a lead and loves other animals, especially cats!

He will need a home with a family that makes him feel loved, secure and has some space on the sofa left for him. His foster mum will be there for him and his new owner every step of the way for support.
