It is with a very heavy heart that I'm posting this. The tiny podenca pup, Angie, has died. It was necessary for her to be put to sleep this morning, she was suffering from parvo. 

She was rescued from a killing station at Jerez at the end of January by Tina of http://www.perrosdelsol.es/  Murcia & fostered by Angela Stacey, where she was a happy little pod & oh, SO loved! Everyones heart melted when they saw Angie, she was the cutest pup. There was a forever home waiting for her in Germany.

Her last 18 days have been in a safe place after God knows what she had endured previously.

Although our hearts are sad we must take consolation that she is out of her pain now & she had obviously loved her happy home with Angela.

Our thoughts are with those associated with Angie, especially Angela, who cared for her.

Little pod, RIP, run free.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Oh I am really sad to hear this news. Although I never met her, I cant believe how distraught I feel. That first picture I saw of her made me fall in love with her. God knows what Angie must be feeling like. Thank you for letting me know.x

Very sad news about Angie, the only positive thing being that her last days were so happy.

This is the saddest news after things for her seemed so promising, it has left me very upset and tearful. My sincere condolences to everyone who cared for her.
