Vester's Story

This poor guy was in a shelter in the north of Spain for over 2 years. He saw other dogs get adopted & leave, meanwhile others passed away never getting a family, but Vester remained, always being overlooked. Insert a generous soul here in the US who made a donation to sponsor Vester to come to the US! Some of the funds were used to transport him to our friends at Casa de Postas. Pon un podenco en tu vida, 1,600 km south. He remained there until he came to the US to a foster home for a while to decompress & figure out what living in a home is all about. Vester will need someone who will show him the patience & love he so desperately needs right now. He’ll need a very secure fenced yard & at least one other dog in the house to follow. If interested in discussing him in more detail, send us a message! Thank you to his angel for plucking him from obscurity to having a spot on a flight secured that will change the rest of his life.<br/>He's currently being fostered in OH but can travel for the right family.

Senior Sighthound Sanctuary, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

All applications are screened by the Director to determine if the adopter may be a potential family for the dog. We act on behalf of the dog & the dogs in our care will need an extra special family, considering their age and/or medical condition. Once the applicant is determined to be a potential match, a volunteer will process the application, to include contacting the applicant, contacting their references, contacting their landlord (when applicable), & contacting their vet, if they currently have any pets. After the application is processed, the Director contacts the applicant to discuss the dog's needs & will arrange a meeting with the entire family & any current pets.

Their time with us is so much more important than our time ...
