I have a 5month podenco who I'm desperate to rehome. He was abandoned near our home at 8weeks and I havnt been able to rehome him. I'm desperate because I start work on the 20th and will be away from home for long hours. He's a beautiful dog and would make a wonderful family member, due to lifestyle I couldn't consider a dog long term. He's vaccinated, micro chipped and very healthy. Can you please help me. I've run out of time. Thank you

I've asked around and had no luck. I live in Albox and can drive him to you if that helps? I've got
He's 5months old. His name's Choco. I've got photos, he's a beautiful dog. Great with kids, great with other dogs. Very wary of new people but is not aggressive at all and soon warms up.
What do you need? I have his passport too.

Akira Dog Sanctuary - Podenco Playdate

From Akira.

We like to make sure the dogs who crave company have friends and someone to play with. Those who are nervous can mix with dogs who brim with confidence to help them feel happier and more confident too. Sometimes we all need a role model. So yesterday a new friendship group was formed. Logan has been missing his kennels mates Millie who is now adopted and Whoopi who is recovering from her sterlisation in a foster home.

We decided to introduce Logan, Iris and Kiki. Iris despite being nervous around human men is a queen bee amonga all other dogs and loves their company and they always love her. Kiki is shy and nervous but loves Iris and follows her lead and being with Logan who is super confident with all people could really boost her confidence. Logan loves a lap and a cuddle and a kiss or too.
It was a success Logan investigated Kiki but gave her some space she eventually walked around investigated her environment enjoying some time away from the kennel. Iris found her match with a playmate her and Logan bounced and bounded for a long while it was love at first sight.
