Petra – a victim of the hunting season

Like every year after hunting season many hunting dogs were left alone by the hunters. These dogs now move back from the hunting areas towards towns and villages in search of food and water.

As usual, poison is now interpreted again to poison these dogs and if these dogs eat this poison, they die a miserable death.

The dogs that are not poisoned continue to search desperately for food and water and the summer comes colser, so it´s harder for them to survive. They expecting a horrible death, they starve and die of thirst.

Due to the poor situation in Cyprus the animal shelters can´t be included many Pointers. The animal shelters are bursting at the seams and the re-homing of Pointers has always been difficult, thus be even more Pointers perish miserably in the ‘wilderness’ of Cyprus as in previous years

Petra is one of the few Pointers that has had luck. She wandered around a hotel resort in Cyprus and a employees took her and found a place in the shelter for her.

Petra was emaciated, filthy and riddled with ticks. We assume that she was already on the way for a while.

After a bath and the visit to the vet – where check revealed that she is underweight but healthy – and a few nights sleeping in the shelter, Petra has quickly recovered from the exertions of her journey.

Petra is a very affectionate Pointer bitch. She could quickly release her fears of us and now she loves every second she can get love and cuddles from the helpers. She is also very friendly with other dogs.

Petra is now looking for a home and hopes very much there are people who want to give a lovely Pointer girl a loving home.

For Petra, a dream would come true and at the same time a place would be free in the shelter for another dog.

In this context we would like to point out that we are always looking for foster homes for our dogs.

If you have fallen in love with Petra or want to take her or another Pointer in care, then please contact us.
