Rhesi

Podenco · Female · Adult · 5 years

Rhesi is a calm and affectionate Podenco-Mix girl who came to us after she was rescued from the streets of Guadalmina, Marbella, without a microchip. Luckily, she was not in a pysically bad condition when she arrived, like many dogs are, she was just a little shy and scared. Rhesi is a beautiful mixed-breed dog who catches attention with her special looks and calm stance. Sge walks very smoothly on the leash and it is a pleasure to be around her, her presence is relaxing, she is very calm, patient and affectionate with all people, without overwhelming anyone. Rhesi could also integrate well into a family with autistic members or people with other sensitivites, as her presence would likely be a good fit for people with special needs. Rhesi gets on well with other dogs and is an excellent educator dog, communicating clearly with other dogs, and expressing her boundaries effectively. When another dog is approaching her in a provocative manner, then she is not a victim dog, and will bark back or communicate with body language that she is a boss lady. Rhesi has lived together with different social females and males before, and she could either be a single dog of a family, or join a home with a friendly, respectful male dog waiting for her - he can be high energy, playful, quiet, scared - Rhesi can be a supportive partner to a variety of dogs, just not dominant ones. She would like a home in a quiet neighborhood, a small town, or even a home in the nature. She might be a little bit shy at first when she is meeting new people, but she quickly starts to trust people, approaching with her nose. If you have snacks, she will find them! Rhesi loves delicious snacks. Rhesi could fit into a variety of different homes, including elderly calm people, or young couples who like to take their dog to different places like working cafes, long walks, friends house - she is polite everywhere. Or families with quiet, well-behaved, shy children, who maybe are shy around too energetic, big, jumpy dogs. In addition to regularily helping the shelter team in new dog checks and socialisations, Rhesi has also been out of the shelter for the day in a few occasions, to see how she is doing in a busier environment, like a social walk event with many dogs and humans on the Marbella Promenade, and visiting a volunteers home, and also visiting a town centre. Rhesi is very much ready for life outside the shelter, and even though she is a little bit shy to get into the car, once she is in, she behaves politely. She walks very nicely on the leash, keeps busy with sniffing around, and does not bother humans or other dogs. When other dogs barked at her, she just looked at them and then continue on her walk. Of course when visiting new places for the first time, she is shy and quiet, but she trusts her human, and then follows her human trustingly into all situations. Her shoulder height is 49cm.
