NAME Santi Mestizo RACE male SEX BORN 1/July/2012 HEIGHT 40cm WEIGHT 7.9 kg (his weight has risen since his last record) CASTRATED yes ANALYSIS yes. negative to all Mediterranean diseases OTHERS: Santi comes from a very difficult rescue, he has lived years in very extreme conditions and it has some anxious-aggressive traits with strangers that we continue to deal with every day.
Little Santi has not been lucky, we never thought that after so much time he still she would still be waiting for a family, after everything we already knew she had suffered. Santi was rescued from a tremendous Noé syndrome in Asturias, we crossed half of Spain to save more than twelve dogs from a really extreme situation, more than four years ago years. Since then, Santi has been waiting at the animal shelter. Santi has a special sensitivity that makes him a different dog, he has lived through hell in his previous life that has caused great traumas, some of them deep inside his heart. Despite the years , the love of the volunteers and the regular consultations with ethologists Santi continues being very anxious with some aggressive groups, especially with strangers: what makes it extremely difficult to find a family with a big heart and experience to give an opportunity. Santi walks with us without any problem, he is sociable, plays, jumps and allows himself to be manipulated completely but he is very suspicious of people he does not know and this can last for a few weeks, until he is confident enough. It is suitable to live with cats but sometimes living in large groups with other dogs has caused many problems: his anxiety makes other more balanced dogs not want in the group, so in the animal shelter he lives alone ☹ He interacts with other dogs (females and males) without problem but always under our supervision. Despite the great character that Santi sometimes shows, he is a small dog and it could be dangerous for him to live with other dogs at night in the shelter. We are sure that in a real house many of these things would be fixed and that could lead a peaceful and normal life with other dogs in the family. We are sure that Santi would greatly appreciate a sofa, a bed, something he doesn’t know about and unfortunately we we cannot offer you.
Sometimes cases of animals with fractures or medical problems seem more urgent but Santi can only improve his life if we find a family capable of seeing him beyond his limits. problems and capable of lovingly taking charge of little by little fixing them. With the volunteers that Santi knows, he is a true love, we are sure that he would be a dog very faithful and kind to its owners, but in order to get to know them… YOU NEED A OPPORTUNITY and patience. Santi is not an easy dog but he deserves to live. The life that humans gave him in the past has broken his soul and we feel very sad and responsible for not being able to do more for him in the shelter. We understand that it is not easy, that we all want perfect furry companions… but Santi he only understands that he has been waiting in a cage for years, seeing how all his companions They go and he’s still here. PLEASE if there is something in his story that has moved your heart, if there is something in his look that you have understood…please…write us! Santi doesn’t deserve to die without knowing a real family.
