On 4th March we received our little redhead Ibizan lady with open arms. As indicated in the description though she was very timid and hid herself behind a travel companion in the travel cage. We therefore had to make an effort to see her, but when we did, we fell for her straight away.
We have had Maya now for three weeks and we are already seeing a great improvement! She has learned a lot: to walk on a leash, to climb stairs, sitting in the car, to stay home for brief periods and to get used to the crowds of people and cars around her. She takes all this very well and continues to surprise us. So we have also discovered that behind the shy girl is a happy, playful Podenco. She even jumped into the pond once, out of enthusiasm. She puts a smile on our face.
Finally, I have a message to those who think about adopting a dog: have a look at the more shy dogs in the shelter. You have needed a little more patience to get the dog out of his shell, but the wait is worth every penny!
Sincerely,
Kelly & Mischa.
