This is Zé. He came from a wonderful home where he had lived since he has a puppy. Unfortunately, his previous owners' living arrangements changed and they unselfishly felt it was in Zé's best interest to be re-homed. Zé was brought into the PPCA's rescue program in July 2006.
Shortly thereafter, Zé was adopted by a wonderful family in Connecticut. He will be the second Portuguese pointer rescue in this household. Truly a happily ever after story!
This is Samora, named after the small town in Portugal where she was found running loose by Jack and Temple DaSilva on a recent trip there. As you can see, she is extremely malnourished, with many calluses from sleeping on hard surfaces. She was covered in ticks and was suffering from a urinary tract infection. Through the extreme generosity of Tiago Fortuna and Nanci Perreira of FAB's and Quinta do Pasto kennels in Portugal, she is living a much happier life. Our thanks go to Nanci and Tiago for taking this girl into their home.
Flora and Pála arrived from a shelter in Portugal on November 30. They have now both been placed in wonderful forever homes. We are very grateful to the caring spirit of their new owners and thank them for helping Portuguese pointer rescue. We wish them all the best in their new lives with these wonderful girls!
Bruno came to our attention by someone who had seen his photo on Petfinder.com and thought he might be a Portuguese pointer. The shelter where he had been living thought he was a boxer x hound mix. As you can see, he is a purebred Portuguese pointer, and a beautiful boy at that. Bruno was quickly adopted to a great home here in Connecticut. This is the second Portuguese pointer rescue for Bruno's new family so he fits right in. He gets along wonderfully with the other perdigueiro there - Bailey. You would almost think they were long lost brothers... and who is to say they aren't! That's Bailey on the left and Bruno on the right.
