Pointer, 11 Years Old
Txiki is a gorgeous older female Pointer, she is eleven years old, her date of birth is 25/04/13.
Txiki’s story is so very sad. We rescued her from her hunter in the Basque country who would have shot her if we had not immediately offered to take her in. She was no longer of any use to him and he wanted to be rid of her. This is always hard to see, but even more so with an old dog that has given their lives to serve these hunters.
When Txiki arrived at the kennels she was in milk, despite her age. Further examination found that she was still carrying a dead pup in her womb. She had emergency surgery and has been recovering in the office at the kennels. She is quite shut down and probably emotional from all the hormones. She desperately needs an understanding home or foster home where she can recover and learn what a loving home is like for the first time in her life.
Txiki is recovering well, she has a great appetite, and she loves her soft bed in the office. She is sociable with the other dogs although if they bother her she tells them off. With people Txiki is very affectionate and obedient, she likes to walk but she also spends her time inside resting quietly, since she is convalescing, she is not in a kennel but rather in a room all to herself. Txiki might do well as an only dog in a quiet home or with quiet dogs that will not bother her or be wanting to play.
