The odds were stacked against her ...

She has a wonky ear, she is a Podenco and she was terrified. So she didn't have a chance at the killing station. She wouldn't get even a few days reprieve. They didn't see her noble character, her intensely beautiful green eyes. To them she was worthless.

Not to us.  We don't care about wonky ears. We love Podencos. As as for her terror, well given her experience of humans so far this was completely understandable. But we had time, that is something we can give our darlings. Time and patience and care and respect. As you will see from the photographs sweet Jody has blossomed.

Now we need a lovely person, a wonderful new owner to carry on this worthwhile work. To love and cherish this delightful, magnificent dog. She is still young, she's only two and a half. She's kind and sweet and eager to learn.  We badly want to find her someone who will transform her past and help her be the devoted and loving dog she was born to be.

Not a wonky ear. A distinctive ear.

I like being petted now.

I love the students. They play with me.

Cuddles.

Here is a video of Jody when she arrived at El Refugio. She was very scared, but in spite of her fears she allowed our students to pet her a little. For more, please see her page on the website.
