Pepper and Lila, 2 sweet Podencos in fostercare in Belgium, but ready to be adopted.


This beautiful, small Podencootje is Pepper. Together with her friend Lila she wandered around the streets looking for something to eat and for somewhere she could be safe. Even so it took nearly four weeks before we could catch her (3 weeks for Lila). In the beginning, Pepper was a bit shy and she did not trust too well. Now, months later, she enjoys her hugs and attention from her carers. She has become a social girl and is good with other dogs but at first meeting she is still a bit afraid of strangers. Pepper is also not a beginner's dog, but rather the perfect dog for a Podenco enthusiast who wants to help her blossom, with patience and affection.

Who wants to help this 'lost' help soul and gives this honey the golden basket she deserves so?

Update Pepper, 22-11-2015:

Pepper is not afraid any more and when someone comes to her cage, she runs all the way to greet them, wagging her tail. She walks nicely on the lead and also enjoys life to the fullest here. Pepper is SUPER with other dogs but cannot be homed with cats.

We really hope Pepper will quickly find a forever home either together with Lila or separately, because both these lovely dogs are really depressed in their cages, everyone notices it ... and they deserve so much better.




Lila is a beautiful Podenco who has not had much love in her life. For months she wandered around the streets, together with Pepper, "two legs on one belly" ... looking for some food and safety. For weeks people tried to catch her and just when they thought it was impossible ... she was in the trap. Even the police came to take a look. Once in the Refugio, she looked around at everything with wide eyes, not understanding what was happening to her and she missed her friend. Now, months later, with Pepper again with her and after many hugs and sweet words, she's totally blossomed into a social, sweet girl who is good with other dogs but is still afraid of people. It takes time, patience and needs a lot of affection. Lila needs an owner who understands her problems and wants to guide her with lots of soft security in life, she is not really a beginner's dog. Who will finally settle Lila into her own soft basket? How nice would it be to see Lila and Pepper go together to their forever home!

Update Lila:  Lila is a very sweet and affectionate dog, who has fully blossomed in recent weeks ... She enjoys a walk on the flexible lead every day and can sit on command. Lila is not good with cats but can cope well with other dogs. At night there is no problem because she sleeps quietly on her pillow and she is housebroken. Lila does not mind being alone for short periods. This is a dog who really wants to enjoy life and who needs a long walk every day, but then she is very quiet and relaxed at home. Lila is friendly with all people, but in the beginning she's a little shy until she knows you well. To anyone who wants to give Lila a golden basket ... she will be eternally grateful.

Their videos and information include a very moving one of their capture and their later reunion at the Refugio. Don't miss it.

Pepper and Lila are in foster care in Belgium, so please come and visit them and don't hesitate to get to know them. After all they have been through, though they can be adopted separately, it would be wonderful if they could stay together.
