Helping a rescue dog adjust to a new home
I’ve had rescue dogs all my life, mostly from rescue associations. Most of them have come with problems, usually as a result of bad treatment in their past. One 4-year old galga took over 2 years before she was anything like a ‘normal’ dog, and that was after living with 4 other housemates. My current Spanish podenca came with a fear of men – what a surprise – after spending the first 7 years of her life shut in a shed and just let out for hunting. Even after over 4 years in our home, she is still nervous of men and many life situations.
So it is vitally important to understand the problems which adopting a rescue dog will bring with them, needing much patience whilst they adjust to home life, new people and situations.

Podenca Reina hoping for a forever home
Reina – a queen Podenca. She was handed a hunter… and it makes us so sad to think how easily some people get tired of an animal when it stops serving them as a tool of work. Fortunately she’s still a happy, noble and affectionate hound and is looking forward to finally finding a real family.Almost 5 years old and sociable with other dogs. We don’t think she would fit in with cats because he has quite a hunter instinct.She is in Murcia and can be adopted anywhere in Spain, as long as they personally come to the shelter to pick her up.Para adoptarla podéis escribirnos a: adopcionesalmohadillas@gmail.com -
