Welcome!
Are you looking to adopt an Ibizan Hound or do you have one you are looking to rehome?
Your in the right place!
If you have knowledge of an Ibizan that is in trouble, please contact our Rescue Chair. IHCUS Rescue works with any organization looking to surrender an unwanted or abandoned Ibizan Hound including shelters, other rescue groups and private owners who are unable to keep their dogs.
If you are not looking to surrender a dog but need help with breed identification you may contact the rescue chair. If you are looking for a courtesy listing, please refer to the required information on the Available dogs page and then contact the rescue chair.

A message from the IHCUS Rescue Chair
Dear Dog Lover,
Thank you for visiting our home on the web. I wanted to leave a personal note on here to say that our group is about more than accepting and re-homing unwanted dogs. We are here as a resource for shelters and rescue groups who are wondering if a dog they have in their care might be an Ibizan. We will take the dog into our own program or help you find a home for it if you wish to keep it in your rescue program.
More important, we’re here for those owners who might be at their wits end. Those of you who came to this page out of desperation and are thinking, “I love this dog but I just can’t do this anymore.” This breed isn’t always easy. Some puppies and dogs are more difficult than others. But with a little knowledge and training, your problem is probably fixable. Please contact me and I’ll do my best to use my experience with this breed and with raising and training dogs to help you work through your dog’s problem and help you find an expert in your area if that is what’s needed.
Thank you and please consider making a donation to our important cause so we can continue to help Ibizan Hounds in need.

Mission & Objectives
Mission
The purpose of the IHCUS Rescue Committee is to protect and promote the welfare of the Ibizan Hound breed by protecting individual Ibizan Hounds from abuse, neglect, or exploitation, while promoting the attributes of the breed to members of the public.
Objectives
- To care for and find permanent homes for stray, abandoned or surrendered Ibizan Hounds with new owners who will agree to provide the high level of care required under terms of adoption and who will observe the terms of the IHCUS Rescue Adoption Contract.
- To take responsibility for all Ibizan Hounds identified in shelters, pounds, etc. in our service area and remove them from these environments so they may be placed in the home of a foster family for rehabilitation, veterinary care and re-homing.
- To work with personnel in shelters, pounds, etc. to educate them so they are able to identify Ibizan Hounds that become their charges.
- To educate new and existing Ibizan Hound owners whenever possible in breed temperament and requirements, responsible ownership, etc., so that potential surrenders can be averted and new adoptions will be successful.
