Kiara - UK

Podenco · Female · Adult · 5 years

Kiara was abandoned by her hunter when she was no longer of use and left to fend for herself on the streets in the area of Moron, she was very thin and very scared when she was rescued back in October 2021. Sadly this is where she remained until she came to foster in the UK, as is common for many podencos in local rescues, they are overlooked no matter how hard the associations try to get them seen. This is what her UK foster mum Emma has to say about her: “Living with Kiara has been such a lovely reminder of how resilient and loving dogs are, even after years in the shelter. She has settled into life in a home like she’s always been here, the favourite spot on the sofa has been claimed, and the best treats figured out! It’s been incredible to see her grow in confidence, and she’s starting to discover that the world outside the sofa might actually be quite interesting. Just being with her humans is her favourite place to be. Kiara has also asked us to vet potential adopters for the relevant qualifications: personal chef (tasty treats), masseuse (top-tier belly rubs), and interior designer (optimal sofa and blanket arrangements). More than anything, she’s just looking for someone to love her as much as she loves them.” Kiara walked well on the lead locally to the shelter but has taken some time to adjust to walking in the UK where it is busier - but this has improved greatly and she is now comfortable walking past other people and dogs. She needs a garden as she enjoys being outside and is used to having this space. Since being in the foster home she has really sought out human company and belly rubs, even playing with toys in the home. She does the cutest excitable dance when her foster parents return form popping out, so she can be left for short periods of time and has done well with positive crate training. We think a home with older children and adults would be the best match for her, she can still be a little startled and could find the unpredictability of young children a little overwhelming. She really enjoys the company of other dogs and gets confidence from them, we are seeing her start to play now which is wonderful so another dog is a must. As you can see from her pictures Kiara is carrying a little extra weight, whilst she has no health concerns she is currently on a weight management programme to help her loose the extra pounds and this would need to continue in her forever home. Kiara is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. She is passported and available for adoption now. If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below
