Portuguese Podengo and Greyhound Dogs Available for Adoption in Hanson, Massachusetts

Adoptable 4 month old Podengo puppy Mauii is ready for a home!

He is used to being walked on a leash and is getting used to crate training. He loves other dogs and is getting used to kitties and cats.

He will likely grow to be around 35 lbs, and his ears will end up coming up and being pointy. Podengos are typically more medium to low energy and are great with cats and kids. They have a personality similar to a greyhound and can be a bit flighty, so they’re not great off-leash unless trained well as a puppy.

If you're interested, you can fill out an application on our website under Adopt at unfurget.org. He comes with all of the supplies you would need, including his crate, walking gear, toys, treats, pee pads, etc. You won’t have to purchase anything, and we recommend a 1-week foster trial before deciding to adopt.
