  • Valencia perrera – 2 podenco puppies – please help

    Valencia 2 bros 6 months old 250 5 2013Valencia pound. On death row. Two brothers, about six months old, precious and super friendly. They have honey-coloured eyes. One is a bit more suspicious than the other, are very funny because if you tell them things, the one on the right will wags its tail and get belly up and give kisses, because he wants to come, but as his brother is more cautious (I’m sure on the street he has survived thanks to him) he tells his brother not to come, and is constantly taking care of both.

    Hopefully someone can help the two together because they are very close. One without the other could not survive on the street. They are identical twins. Will be tall, because they are still puppies, appear to be Ibizans.
