DESCRIPTION 

Pinocho is a 1 year old male Ibizan Hound (Podenco) Cross. He is medium sized (around 15kg ) dog with the best (and potentially largest) ears we’ve ever seen! Pinocho was found abandoned in a local village, and taken in by one of our trusted rescuers. He is living in Spain foster with lots of other rescued dogs, and has shown himself to be an absolute gem.

Pinocho is very loving with people and good with other dogs and cats. He doesn’t particularly enjoy the company of puppies, and will take himself away for some peace and quiet, but he’s very social in his interactions. He is an active boy, and being of sighthound breed, will need his new owners to keep a close eye that he can’t escape to follow a trail or the movement of small animals.

Pinocho will need regular outings in nature to explore, run and play. We feel he could happily live with a resident dog, of a similar age and energy level to him. He remained calm during his cat test and so we feel, with careful introduction and supervision, he would be able to integrate into a home with cats as well. He has not and cannot be tested with children, but due to his sweet nature and sociability with people, we feel a family with older children (14+) would be no problem for him.

Pinocho is friendly, obedient (unless he gets distracted on a walk) and sociable. He would make a wonderful companion for a family willing to offer him the training and attention he craves, and lots of time outdoors. He is housetrained and learning to walk on a lead, though he will need ongoing training with this. He will need gentle and guided introductions to home life, as we have no past history on where he lived, and in return you will take home a sweet, happy soul, ready for adventures and to be someone’s companion.

Pinocho is currently in Spain, but can’t wait to travel to his family as soon as they are found. If you can commit to him for the next 10-15 years, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you. Please be aware that we rehome dogs to England and Wales, but NOT Scotland.
