I always love to receive stories about happy homings of podencos… here’s a lovely one I received from Liz.

‘I adopted a 2 year old Podenco cross, little girl (although I think she’s more Pod than cross!) 4 months ago from a killing station. I had never heard of the breed, but fell in love with her picture on the rescue site in Spain. Everything the foster home told me seemed too good to be true, good with children, cats & other dogs with a sweet nature!

Well, she is everything & more;she’s a social butterfly & everyone she meets loves her. She’s such a clown with the biggest heart & has made such an amazing difference to my life. I’m disabled & have to ride a mobility scooter when I go out. From the first day my little Lady came into my life, she trotted next to me by my scooter like she’d done it all her life. She is so intelligent, I only have to teach her something once & she’s got it.

Her recall isn’t very good tho but I can live with that, I take her to the fence-in doggy park & she chases squirrels for a couple of hours ?? eventually she comes back ??.

I can’t understand how anyone could not love these fur babies.’

Thank you Liz for sharing your story, what a sweet hound.
