SARA Lanzarote

	Santo is a brown and white Podenco cross around two years of age. He was found running loose but luckily was caught and brought to us. This photo was taken on his arrival and he has already settled himself in and made himself comfortable. Can you give him a good home ... how can you resist those eyes?
	Tiniebla is another one of the many Podencos we have at the shelter. Most of these hunting dogs get separated from the pack and end up with us. They are a really affectionate breed though and will install themselves on your sofa if you let them. Timiebla is about 4 years old and has been with us since Nov 2007.
	Rudolf got his name because his back feet are very splayed (turned out) like a ballet dancer, possibly through poor diet. He is a lovely liver Pointer cross about 18 months old. He is a bit scatty but really affectionate and is looking for a good family home.
	Reford is a Staffy cross and was supposed to be Redford (after Robert Redford) because he was so handsome but a typing error gave him the name Reford. He was brought to us as a found dog in June 2006 and we think he is about 3 years old. Are there any Staffy lovers out there who can give him a good home?
	Pepin is one of our larger dogs but he is really affectionate. He is a mostly a wonderful liver colour and as you can see has a really cute face. It is difficult to say exactly what breed he is as there seems to be a bit of everything in him. We would be looking for a home with a large garden or someone prepared to give him plenty of exercise.
	Ornela doesn't look too happy in this picture as she is really hoping to find a nice home and family. She was found wandering the streets in Dec 2007 but unfortunately did not have a microchip. Her owners have not been in touch so we can only presume she has been abandoned. Can you help this lovely Boxer cross?
	Nana is a lovely Cocker cross but a little long in the tooth as she was born in 2000. This doesn't stop her being a character though as she loves to curl up in her water bucket on hot days. She was brought into the shelter by her owner didn't have the time to look after her due to work commitments.
	Bosco is one of our older dogs and really needs a nice home to give him comfort in his twilight years. We estimate that he was born in 1998, possibly a little after, but he is still very good for his age. Apart from the odd "age spot" on his coat he is a lovely looking Boxer cross.
	Bilbao was abandoned and luckily someone managed to catch him and bring him into the shelter otherwise he could have become yet another traffic victim. He is about 12 months old and is a Husky cross, possibly with a GSD. He has such a cute face and would make a good pet for a family.
	Alfie is between 18 months and 2 years of ago. A bit of a mix of Labrador and Podenco he should really have been called Dumbo by the size of his ears. Unfortunately, Alfie had to be left behind on the island when his owners returned to the UK. He has a really nice nature and is looking for a good home.
	Omega was abandoned on Christmas morning at the top of the lane leading to SARA. Someone was seen tying her to a metal post and driving away. She is a beautiful GSD and is about 4 years old. She was a little nervous at first but is settling down nicely. RESERVED
	Toño Puppy (1) is one of two brothers that were left with us after the rest of the litter were adopted. They were brought to us when they were 2 days old and have lived in the shelter ever since. They are now nearly three years old and it would be nice to see them both adopted into loving homes.
	Toño Puppy (2) It is not very often that puppies are not snatched up within weeks of their arrival but these cuties were not so lucky. They are a mix breed of Husky and Podenco (we think) and would make someone a lovely pet. Can you help us give these little brothers the "forever home" they deserve?
	Katalino is one of the many Podencos we have for adoption. We rescued a litter of puppies from the municipal pound in March 2006 when they were only days old. Most have already found forever homes but we are still hopeful that he will find his special family soon. Podencos are a lovely breed of dog and are very affectionate and Katalino loves to be fussed and cuddled.
	Shep has been abandoned by his owner who has returned to the UK. He has a Microchip but we have applied for ownership and issued a denuncia against the owner. He is a lovely Border Collie and would make somebody a wonderful companion.
	Complejo Puppy is a female black Labrador crossed with possibly a touch of Podenco. She was born in March 2006 and found on a complex (hence the name) on the15th May 2006. Like most of the puppies we have she is lively and always looking for attention. ADOPTED
	Barbaro is quite a small Bardino cross. As a found dog we can only guess his date of birth as being February 2005. He was still a puppy when he has brought to the shelter on the 18^th April 2005. He is a lovely looking dog and, after being with us for 18 months he needs to find a loving home. ADOPTED
	Eden is right mixture, a definite “Heinz 57”. He was born approx. 2002 and has been in the shelter since August 2004. He is very loving and faithful. It is unbelievable that this gorgeous dog has been with us for 2 years now. Just one look in those eyes and your heart melts. We need to find him a good home asap but, unfortunately, he is not cat compatible. ADOPTED
	Flaco - means thin in Spanish and you can see why he got his name. This photo was taken two weeks after arriving at SARA and, believe it or not, he has put on weight whilst being here. He is a Podenco, born approx. Feb 2005 and brought to the shelter as a found dog on the 20^th August 2006. He has a cheeky grin on his face after playing in one of the planters in the outside dog runs.



	Moro is a Belgian Shepherd/Labrador mix and always first in the queue for cuddles and attention. He was born approx. Aug 2003 and was brought to the shelter late November 2004. He loves to be out on a lead and is very playful. He would need a lot of exercise as he is inclined to be very lively so we wouldn’t advise a family with very young children. Two years in the shelter means he also needs a home asap. ADOPTED
	Sandia is a little mix breed born around 2001. She was removed from her home in March 2006. She is very shy and withdrawn and needs a caring, patient owner to win her confidence and have a better life than she has obviously had before. RESERVED

	Zarko has been in the shelter since 2003. A largish mongrel of Labrador/Shepherd mix (amongst others) he was born in 2000, so he has spent half of his life with us. His previous owners left him at the local pound as they wanted to leave the island and couldn’t take Zarko with them. He was rescued from certain death by SARA but he now needs the loving home he so rightly deserves. Although he mixes well with other dogs, he is not too keen on felines so he would not be placed with a family who own cats.
