Adopt Babsi

Podenco · Female · Senior · 9 years

Babsi was seen on the streets for several days, together with little Dachsi-girl Minna (already in her new home), before they could be caught one after the other. They were both very skinny, shy with people and scared of new situations. Just before she was caught, Babsi was running for her life on the motorway, confused and stressed to the maximum. Once she arrived to the shelter, she slept on her bed for 3 days straight, no exaggeration... She only slept, ate, drank water, turned sides, and went back to sleep. Once Babsi recovered from the terrible exhaustion, she started to come out of her kennel slowly, to look around, greet other dogs in the area, but still being fearful of people, not knowing who yet to trust. When Babsi has seen a person several times, she relaxes around them, and likes to go for walks, staying close by your side. She is a beautiful Podenco Campanero mix, and with her timeless beauty and elegance, she really should be performing in movies. Her beauty makes you think of elves, and all things divine, fragile, delicate. Babsi enjoys to be touched by the people that she knows and trusts, however she still wishes to be approached slowly, without hectic movements. We can see that she really finds comfort in "familiarity" - she likes to go back to her kennel, because she knows that's a safe space, she likes to walk next to the people she already knows, and when walking the same routes, we can visibly see her relaxing into the situation. With other dogs she is respectful and social, and even though in a quiet home, with slow and repetitive daily routines, she could also well be an only dog, then having other social dogs around, she will surely feel more comfortable in new situations, relying on their guidance. At the moment, Babsi does not yet enjoy running around in the park by her own initiative, but prefers to be led by leash, or to follow a canine companion. Even though she can get moments of panic by some loud sounds or sudden intrusive movements, like a trash truck, she herself actually has such calm, still energy when she is relaxing. But don't think that this elderly lady has no spark left, no no! When you least expect it, in her safest spaces, she let's out an occasional goofy dance! So we know she has a playful and carefree side of her still in hiding, and we're sure that once she is in a safe home, with her forever human, she will be playfully running around the garden in no time! Babsi is looking for a home in a quiet environment, either in a green area of a small town, a village or on the countryside. City is in an option for Babsi, and she also would not like to move in with small children at the moment, due to the noise & hectic movements of children. Older, educated and softly behaving children would be fine! Her shoulder height is 63cm.
