I have noticed a certain popularity of dogs of Portuguese breeds among expats. Many of the decided to buy or adopt one of those. They are beautiful dogs, not very common in other countries or in cases of some breeds even uncommon in Portugal. We have rehomed many podengos (loved by Dutch and German people), watr dogs and perdigueiros (loved by English people). In this message I would like to present the Portuguese breed dogs we have for adoption and maybe I find a home for them?
1. Spiga is a cross rafeira alentejana. She is 1 year old and she is registered as rafeira alentejana but I find her a bit smaller than the normal exemplary of the breed and she did not have papers of the clubo de canicultura, only junta de freguesia registration as rafeira alentejana. So I assume she is not pure breed although she looks very close.
We found her on the street, she had a chip, we called the owner who said she got lost a week before and immediately offered us to keep her. Was really not interested in getting her back. We did the chip papers, now she belongs to Bianca Association.
But at least we know she lived in a home, she does not seem to have any traumas, she is simply a nice and gentle dog. She is good with other dogs. Quite calm temperament really. Also because we got her papers we know that she was born in May 2010. The truth is that without that we could only estimate her age.
Please have a look. Contact for adoption: sesimbra.bianca@gmail.com

2. Afonso is a cross Portuguese water dog around 3 years old. He is an extremely gentle dog but shy. We would like to find a calm home for him, an owner with lots of patience. He is good with other dogs and walks well on the leash. We know he has lived for long time on the street and was avoiding people but since he came to our shelter he has made a considerable progress when it comes to trust. I believe he could make a greater progress in a home as we are only a small group of volunteers that has to divide attention among 220 dogs.

3. Pansinha is a Portuguese pointer (perdigueira). Found dying of hunger, no doubt we saved her life. No papers came with her but no doubt she is one She is quite a senior dog. Lovely with people and other dogs. Very calm. This breed is known to be a very good family dog (even if they hunting dogs!), they are very devoted to their owners and good with children. Pansinha is really senior. She needs her last home for the life she has left and probably not very long. It is sad to think she may spent the rest of her time in the shelter.
