Traumatised Podenco Andi needs a special home

Regular readers will know the story of Podenco Pepe and his rehabilitation with Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends.  This is his brother Andi who also needs a special experienced understanding home.

We are desperately searching for a long-term foster home for Andi who is with Friends of Aprop in the Valencia region, Spain.
Please share , let’s make him visible to as many people as possible.

Just like Pepe, Andi is very anxious and fearful of people. The rescue has been working with a behaviourist, and he is now allowing gentle touch, which is a huge step forward. But sensitive, troubled dogs like these two boys will never truly thrive in a busy rescue environment.
They need calm.       They need quiet.      They need one person willing to give patient, one-to-one support.

A home with other confident, balanced dogs could really help Andi. He is beginning to interact a little more with the other dogs at the rescue, and that gives us hope.

Andi will be two years old in June.   That is far too long to live a life without joy, just existing rather than living.

When Pepe left, it affected Andi. They were not playmates, but they shared a quiet, physical closeness, a fragile bond. Since then, he has been trying in his own small way to connect more with others.

We know this is a big ask. Fostering Andi will require patience, understanding, and commitment. But it could change his life forever.
The rescue, will continue to provide support from their behaviourists.

If you feel you could offer Andi the safe space he so desperately needs, it would be the greatest gift you could give him.

Let’s try for him. He deserves that chance
