Adopter Thelma
Podenco · Kvinde · Ung · 1 år
Thelma & Louis blev fanget af vores søge- og redningshold med fælder, da de i lang tid var rapporteret til at løbe rundt uden mennesker på en stor mark nær et travlt område ved Puerto Banus. Det tog lidt tid at fange dem, men da de først var ankommet til shelteret, slog de sig meget hurtigt ned! Vi troede, det ville tage tid for dem at komme ud af deres skjul, men nej – mad, venlige mennesker og sikkerhed gjorde, at de hurtigt fik tillid. De første dage sov de dybt og hvilede sig efter en lang periode med løb og usikkerhed. Nu bor de sammen med en anden hun-Podenco, og de nyder virkelig at gå i de frie løbeparker. Thelma har en rigtig velafbalanceret karakter – som Podencos næsten altid – hun elsker at snuse rundt i buskadset, lede efter mus og insekter, grave lidt i håb om kaninhuler, men samtidig er hun ikke kun besat af det – når der er et menneske i nærheden, elsker hun at få kram og godbidder og bliver meget gerne ved menneskets side. Thelma og Louis er selvfølgelig knyttet til hinanden, men er ikke længere afhængige af hinanden. Det er dog helt sikkert, at Thelma bestemt gerne vil have mindst én hund mere i sit fremtidige hjem som følgesvend – hun er meget social og legesyg, elsker at irriterer sine hundevenner ved at nibe i deres ører og invitere dem til at lege. Thelma går rigtig godt i snor, og hun er en fremragende socialiseringshund – hun er høflig over for nye hunde, hun møder, ikke provokerende, åben og blidt social. Thelma er ikke overdrevent aktiv, hyper eller angst – nej, når hun bliver lidt stresset eller overvældet, udtrykker hun det ikke ved at løbe hektisk rundt, men bliver i stedet stille og holder sig rolig. Mest sandsynligt har hun ikke tidligere boet i et almindeligt hjemmiljø – de har formentlig enten været jagthunde eller okupahunde eller rejsende folk. Selvom Thelma klarer sig så godt, og hun er glad, livlig og dejlig – vil hendes fremtidige familie alligevel skulle huske, at hun har brug for tid og tålmodighed, når hun flytter ind i et nyt miljø. En GPS-tracker anbefales på det kraftigste til denne type hunde, i hvert fald i den første periode, indtil hunden er godt etableret og knyttet til hjemmet. Hun søger et hjem med tidligere hundeoplevelse, ideelt set med Podenco eller andre lignende racer. Hun er venlig over for alle mennesker, hun møder, inklusive børn, så hendes familie kunne inkludere børn fra 12 år og opefter, for at sikre, at hunden ikke forsvinder. Da vi ikke kender hendes livserfaringer, ved vi ikke, hvordan hun ville tage det i en bymiljø – lige nu leder vi efter et hjem i et roligt kvarter, tæt på naturen, ideelt set med et trygt og sikret udendørsområde. Hendes skulderhøjde er 47 cm. Hun er testet for middelhavssygdomme og er sund og rask.

Thelma & Louis were caught by our Search & Rescue team with traps, as they were reported for a long period of time to be running around, without humans, on a big field near a busy area of Puerto Banus. It took a while to catch them, but once they arrived to the shelter, they settled in very quickly! We thought it will take time for them to come out of their shells, but no - food, kind humans and safety allowed them to gain confidence fast. The first few days they were sleeping deeply, resting of a long time of running & uncertainty. Now they are living together with another female Podenco, and really enjoy going to the free-running parks. Thelma has a very nicely balanced character - like Podencos almost always, she loves to scruff around in the bushes, looking for mice and insects, do a bit of digging in hopes for rabbit holes, but at the same time, she is not obsessively focused on that only - when there is a human around, she loves to receive cuddles and snacks, and very gladly stays by the humans side. Thelma & Louis are of course bonded, but no longer dependant on each other. It is sure however, that Thelma definitely wishes to have at least 1 more dog in her forever home as companionship - she is very social, and playful, loves to annoy her canine friends by nibbling on their ears, and inviting them to play. Thelma walks very well on the leash, and she is an excellent socialisation dog - she is polite with new dogs that she meets, not provocative, open and softly social. Thelma is not overly active, hyper or anxious, no - when she gets a bit stressed or overwhelmed, she does not express it with running around hectically, but she rather goes quiet and stays still. Most likely she has not lived in a standard home environment before - they were likely either dogs of hunters or okupas or travelling people. So even though Thelma is doing so well, and she is happy, cheerful, lovely - her future family will still need to keep in mind that she will need time and patience when moving into a new environment. A GPS Tracker is very much recommend for these type of dogs at least for the first arrival period, until the dog is nicely settled and bonded at home. She is looking for a home with already previous dog experience, ideally with Podenco or other similar breeds. She is kind with all humans she meets, including children, so her family could include children from 12years and up, for home safety of not losing the dog. Not knowing her life experiences, we do not know how she would feel about a town environment, at the moment we are looking for a home in a quiet neighborhood, close to the nature, ideally with a safely secured outdoors space. Her shoulder height is 47cm. She has been tested for Mediterranean diseases and is healthy.
