Elliot (Eli)

Elliot (Eli)

Incredible

Dog name: Elliot     Nicknames: Eli

History: Rescued by Galgos en Familia, Malaga. Spent a long time in foster in Spain before arriving in UK foster in April 2022.

“Elliot came home very lost, at home the first few days he was very stressed. If the relationship with the other dogs in the house was stressful, it was clear that he did not know what he had to do, he did not smell them. We decided to give him some time, if he didn’t give up we weren’t going to have him having a hard time.
After a week everything was better, he began to follow the youngest puppy in the house and allowed us to touch him. We saw right away with a little time he would be a terrific dog. A short time later he laid down so you can stroke his belly and his friend Mitch was inseparable from him. The walks on the street were something else, we had to avoid the busiest hours, and the areas where there were a lot of people; this was the situation until the day he left, but at home and with other dogs he was a very happy dog, the rest wasn’t something important to us.
He was very good with children, he allowed them to sleep with him and ate from his hand. They could play close to him that he didn’t get nervous.”
