Quijote - UK

MORE INFORMATION ON QUIJOTE

Quijote was found as a little puppy on the street and taken into a kind foster home, however he couldn’t stay there permanently and sadly ended up in a pererra where he was put in a kennel with another uncastrated boy and an unneutered girl which meant there was lots of fights and he had been bitten many times. Our partners found him very thin, with wounds and sore eyes.

Since then he moved to a foster home in Spain with a much calmer environment where he really blossomed both in health and personality. He put on weight, his wounds healed and his spirit slowly started to return. He’s now moved to a foster home in the UK with another dog where he is continuing to progress. Like many podencos, he is a little aloof at first, but does warm up and soon learns to trust. Once you have gained that, he’ll sit and wait for you to put his harness on and loves to hold hands/paws with you and enjoy a fuss. He’s the happiest little soul once you return from being out and about but does still have nervous moments. We know that in time, these will disappear but they are understandable given his past. He is good with other well balanced dogs and forms lovely bonds - he had a wonderful relationship with a small female pod in Spain and now he’s in the UK he gets on well with the female podenco cross in the home. Quijote is a foodie and will try to steal food from other dogs given the chance, so this will need to be managed in a multidog home. For a patient owner, we think Quijote would also be OK as an only dog. He enjoys his walks but can pull a bit on the lead - this is something his UK foster is starting to work on and will need to continue in his new home. He’s been for his first cafe visit and whilst he was nervous, he did really well and settled down nicely. We know that he will continue to progress with time. He doesn’t necessarily need a garden, but would not be as good in a really busy city. Can you wipe the sadness from Quijote’s eyes for good by offering him a loving home?

Quijote is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. He is passported and available for adoption now.
