Adopt Tinkiwinki

Podenco · Male · Young · 2 years

Tinkiwinki is a long sausage-shaped Podenco Maneto, who arrived to the shelter together with Tipsi, Thorpy & Eclaire (adopted), being abandoned by a local hunter. Tinkiwinki has a wonderful social nature and he loves to be included in everything you are doing - walking, eating, lounging on the sofa, visiting friends, Tinkiwinki always wants to be by your side! When it's time to run in the park with his dog friends, he makes a few rounds and then comes looking for you again, and also comes directly back to you when you call for him, he connects very quickly with humans. Tinkiwinki also loves to sit on your lap and be cuddled. He is quite vocal when he gets excited, or when he wants attention, so probably would be best if he is not living in an apartment, in a busy house-complex with noise-sensitive neighbours. He is food-motivated and therefore quite easy to teach. Tinkiwinki is a young energetic boy, so when he gets playful and excited, he can get a bit jumpy, but it is very easy to set boundaries to him, and he gets quiet when he understands that he has been too much. With so much love to give, Tinkiwinki would love a family with many people, and also older children would be suitable for him to grow old together. We would not place Tinkiwinki with very small children, as even though he is low in height, he is really long, and could run over very small children crawling on the floor. Even though Tipsi & Tinkiwinki love to be together, they are available for adoption separately and will surely be happy also in their new homes with new friends, as they just have happy natures. Both Tipsi & Tinkiwinki are quite strong on the leash, even though they are small, however that is mostly because they have not been taught to walk well on the leash, and at the same time, being young podencos, one walk a week is resulting in so much bottled up energy, so that once they do get out of their kennels finally, they really want to go and explore the world. We are sure their leash walking skills will rapidly improve once they get on regular walks. It is quite likely that they have not been in a city environment before, so for the moment we are looking for a home close to the nature for Tinkiwinki, preferably with other dog/dogs, but he potentially could also be an only dog of a home, if regular dog contact is provided. Tinkiwinki has been out for the day with a volunteer, and the feedback is that he is such a sweet boy, who loves being in the nature, walking together and giving hugs. Hiking is his favourite activity, and he adapts very quickly to the car, because the car takes him to adventures! Tinkiwinki is respectful to the people and dogs he meets his way and doesn't trouble others. He is definitely looking for a person/family who likes to go out for nature walks and engage in some form of dog training/nosework/obedience with him, to direct his energy in a positive way. His shoulder height is 44cm.
