Adopt a Spanish Hound in Spain
Spanish hounds (sabueso español and related types) are scent hounds used for hunting across Spain. Gentle with people and driven by their nose, some need rescue homes through shelters like El Arca de Cuevas in Cuevas de San Marcos, Málaga (Andalusia).
Sabueso español
Several regional sabueso lines exist, sharing long ears, stamina and a melodious bark on the trail. At home many are relaxed and affectionate.
