Available for Adoption
Sonrisa was found in the Nerja campo by a Costa Animal Society ( CAS ) volunteer in early May on a road leading to several homes . Her rescuer saw her one morning and noticed she was staying close to his front gate , but it was not a dog he recognised and when he approached her she seem to smile but would not let him touch her .
He attempted to catch her with a lead , but she evaded his efforts and disappeared into a nearby field . After going out the following afternoon , the rescuer returned home to find Sonrisa in the same spot in the field , sitting and looking around , as if she was waiting for someone to come back for her .
Sonrisa but it did not work out due to a personality conflict with the other dog that already lived there
A neighbour of the deceased gentleman contacted CAS and Bibi was placed in kennels until another solution could be found . A couple of weeks later , after seeing Bibi ’ s story on Facebook , a lovely woman from La Herradura decided to give her a chance even
Bibi
Often when a dog is dumped from a car it will hang around in the same spot where it last saw its owner , sometimes for hours or even days , and CAS thinks this is what happened to Sonrisa . The rescuer prepared some food and water for the abandoned dog and placed it just inside his garden , laid a trail of sausages out to the road , and waited behind the garden gate for Sonrisa to take the bait
At last she entered hesitantly but once she tucked into the bowl of food he quickly closed the gate behind her . Sonrisa is a Podenco cross with short stocky legs so she probably has some Teckle in her genes . She is a healthy female who is about one year old and she weighs close to ten kilos .
Sonrisa has a sweet yet timid personality but she gets along well with other dogs and we think she would be good with children and cats . She has been vaccinated and checked by the CAS vet and is now being housed in private kennels until a foster or permanent home can be found for her .
If you would like to meet Sonrisa or any of the other animals under the care of the Costa Animal Society , and / or are looking to adopt or are willing to foster a pet please contact us by email at costaanimalsociety @ gmail . com or through our Facebook page \ casnerja .
