Do you remember the story of Podenco Spirit, the poor hound picked up off the street with the lower half of his jaw shot off?! After all the care of the team of volunteers with Refugio La Candela and an amazing veterinary team, today Spirit is in the Valencia Veterinary Hospital to have an operation which will change his life, hopefully, and he will be able to eat properly.

Here’s what the team say.

Spirit is already in the field of surgery of the Valencia sur hospital veterinario.

Now the moment has come; all vets and doctors who take care of the operation are ready.

He was just put in the operating theatre where he’s prepared for anesthesia and will start the operation we’ve been waiting for, which will normalize his life.

We’re nervous, but we’re confident that everything will be more than good.

In these moments we can’t say much, just that we hope he will have all the happiness he deserves.

We love you Spirit, you don’t know how much

We’ll tell you more as soon as we know more.
