Rumba came to us through a handover. Her previous owners, due to exceptional and personal reasons, could no longer take care of her.

Rumba is a sweet, beautiful, and friendly little dog, but she’s also insecure and a bit fearful. When we open her kennel door so she can go run, she bolts out—and then immediately wants to come back in. She’s an active dog, but her fear keeps her from fully opening up the way we’d like. Even so, she really enjoys being petted and having people around her; she’s very sociable with humans.

We do not recommend her adoption into a home with other pets. We want to test things gradually, but it will take time.

Lolo was found wandering alone around El Rebolcat.

Lolo is a beautiful young podenco mix—good-natured, obedient, and always eager to run and play with his companions.

He loves being petted, spoiled, and spoken to with affection. Like many podenco mixes, and because he’s a large dog, Lolo tends to become invisible. But you have no idea how much love and affection Lolo has saved just for you. Come meet him—you’ll be surprised.

We picked up Aquiles in Benimaclet, a town in Valencia, after the DANA storm. The man who brought him said he didn’t want him.

Aquiles is a young, big, and strong dog. But everything he has in size, he also has in kindness. At first glance, Aquiles can be imposing and command respect, but once you spend time with him, you see he’s a very friendly dog. He loves to run, play, and jump. He’s a dog that needs to burn off energy. When he goes back to his little house, he calms down a lot — he’ll even lie in the sun and fall asleep.

If you have the time and energy to dedicate to Aquiles, come meet him. He’s a great dog.

We found Chuso in a park, roaming freely with a very large collar around his neck. He had chip, but his owner never showed up to claim him.

Chuso is a dog with a hunting instinct. Outside his little house, he gets very nervous, so he loves to run and play. After a while of playing, he sits on the grass with a toy and chews on it. When he returns to his little house, he loves lying in the sun, where he calms down quite a bit. He’s a very good dog who needs to burn off a lot of energy.

Chuso needs a home where his instincts are understood and where he’s given what he needs.

Nika was found wandering along the greenway. She had no microchip or collar, and no one has come looking for her.

Nika is a young dog, full of energy, affectionate, and she loves to run and play. In her little house she is quite calm, but sometimes she gets nervous when she sees other dogs off-leash.

At first, she might seem a bit insecure around new people. She just needs a little time.

Nika needs someone willing to spend time with her, take her on long walks, and give her lots of love—but above all, a family that will never abandon her again.

Rocky could barely walk when he arrived at the shelter. He had been abandoned and spent three days wandering the streets of Alcoy searching for his old home.

He is a great dog, full of vitality, affectionate, and obedient. He loves to run and play.

Rocky is looking for a new home and a family that will show him that not all humans are the same, and that we can love and care for him just as he would do for us.

Tobby arrived with a fear of men specifically, and he was very afraid of other dogs. But after just a few days, he had made many friends to go out and play with, and now he runs and plays with a pack of 9 dogs. He’s no longer afraid of people—he runs toward you and stands up so you can pet him. He’s a bit possessive with food.

Tobby is a podenco mix, a tall and slender dog. These breeds need to run and play. He’s a good and obedient dog who will be very happy with a family that gives him what he needs.

Alma was wandering through the Preventorio mountains with her travel companion, Estrella (also up for adoption). We found out they had been lost there for several days. They arrived at the shelter following a girl who had been feeding them bits of her sandwich.

Alma is amazing—happy, playful, sociable, and very affectionate. She loves playing with other dogs, but she always follows and looks for her friend Estrella.

When you’re petting Alma, Estrella immediately comes over to get some affection too—and the same happens the other way around.

In their little house, they love sunbathing and playing together. They’re very sweet, and despite their small size, they have plenty of energy.

This is a special case, as they’ve always been together and we don’t want to separate them, so they will need to be adopted as a pair.

Estrella was wandering through the Preventorio mountains with her travel companion, Alma (also up for adoption). We found out they had been lost there for several days. They arrived at the shelter following a girl who had been feeding them bits of her sandwich.

Estrella is a lovely dog—very sweet and sociable. She gets along well with other dogs but always stays close to her friend Alma.

In their little house, they love sunbathing and playing together. They’re very friendly, and despite their small size, they have lots of energy.

This is a special case, as they’ve always been together and we don’t want to separate them. So they must be adopted as a pair.

Kira came to us after she was found wandering alone along the riverbed. To our surprise, Kira had a microchip. After several days, we managed to contact the owner, who disowned her, claiming she didn’t have the required license. Eventually, after months of excuses and lies, she abandoned Kira at our shelter.

Kira is a noble and playful dog with people, but not with other dogs, so she wouldn’t be suitable for a home with other pets. She is a very young dog who could bring great joy to a family. She loves running and playing fetch with balls.

Kira is a loving and fun dog who’s waiting to find a home where she’ll be loved as she deserves.
