Podenca Chir in Valencia needs a foster or forever home

Introducing Chir – she needs a home rather than going to a shelter.

Kris says ‘Just before Christmas a friend answered the call for help of the animal shelter SPAX from Xativa (Valencia ) to give Chir, a podenco of about two years old, a temporary home. Irela herself as a matter of fact needs a lot of help, she is a single, unemployed secondary school teacher and without unemployment (yes, that’s quite normal here in Spain ) and already needs to feed a family consisting of two dogs and two cats. Nevertheless she showed her big heart. And my wife and I (not really in a comfortable economical situation either) stepped in and bought the necessary food to get the more than skinny Chir back on her feet.

Chir was nearly dead when she was picked up from the street and got urgent surgery to save her from peritonitis. She was skin and bones when she arrived at Irela’s and could not even stand on her hind legs due to pure weakness. On December 20th she was operated a second time and now she’s on the mend. She still has a very large scar but if all goes well the stitches will be removed at the end of this week .

Irela has made a small facebook page for Chir : https://www.facebook.com/ # / pages/Yo-soy-Chir/680072402032853 f ref = ts ?

But now Chir is almost completely recovered, and she would have to return to the uncertain future in the crowded shelter. And that makes us really worried. Because Chir is very sweet, playful and sensitive. So we wish to help her and try to find a good family who wants to adopt her. And I am convinced that Chir is going to be much safer far from possible abuse outside Spain.’
