Just received the most wonderful news. these two podenco puppies were in a killing station, but the Sofia El Refigio Escuela rescued them and here they are now, waiting for their forever homes. Just look at the different in these handsome hounds, away from the smell of death. This is what the shelter says.

‘The world’s most handsome hounds are Achilles and Hercules and are with us! We took them out of the killing station with their faces in shock, their bodies trembling and their eyes filled with dread.

Today Achilles and Hercules are learning to trust, to play and live.

Achilles, who is a puppy about 4 months old (December 2010), and finally he behaves as such, namely: it is fun and really nice to play with everything, from a fabric knot up up in the air and flying through a sheet, is extremely affectionate and occasionally makes a mess because he says ‘ now what? “I’m chasing the fly and knocked me upside down to pamper me?

He is a beautiful hound with his ears pricked in plan always up periscope! and amazing green eyes.

Hercules is about 7-8 months (September 2010) and is more timid than his “brother, still very scared and needs someone with love and patience to teach him to trust. It’s just a matter of patience and love. Hercules is full of tenderness and gentle, although very smart and gaining in confidence, curiosity tempts him to approach.

Like Achilles, he is a darling hound, a gorgeous redhead with bright green eyes and a great guy.

If you have never lived with a podenco, this is your chance to discover a wonderful breed in every way. Because the podencos are noble, are true, are loving, they are brave, are austere, are balanced, are loving and very intelligent. A hound is a companion, a hound is a friend, a great friend.
