READ MY STORY PLEASE............
"I am a Podenco Andaluz, one of those special Spanish hunting dogs with the extra big pointy ears. I didn't know I was special, but my two best human friends tell me all the time and that Podencos are all very special.
I want to help the other Spanish dogs that live in the shelters, or on the streets because when I was a puppy someone left me at a shelter. I was only seven months old, I'm not sure what I did wrong but suddenly I had to share a pen with twenty other dogs, sleep on a cold concrete floor, and fight to get my food. I had some friends, but it was very cold in winter and very hot in summer. We got to play in the field once a week which was such fun.
I spent 18 months there, and then one day my new best human friends came to see me, they took me away in a car and gave me a big cushion to sleep on and a blanket to cover me. Having human friends is the best. I want all the Spanish dogs and cats to have human friends. Please sponsor me to raise funds for the shelter and to help all dogs and cats have human friends."
Isa's thoughts are still with the Spanish dogs & cats suffering here in Spain so once again is doing the Sponsored walk in aid of SCAN & ACTIN on May 11th.
