Griffith
Dog name: Griffith Nicknames: Griffy, Griffle-pants and Boy-o
History: Rescued from a greyhound owner in Palencia who has been reported to the Civil Guard. He was kept confined in a tiny enclosure made of scrap metal, old bed frames, and sheet iron, exposed to direct sunlight; as a result, temperatures were extremely high, and the stench of accumulated faeces and urine was unbearable.

Character: Griffith is an extremely affectionate, gentle hound who loves attention and being close to his trusted people. He arrived very nervous and hypervigilant, frightened by people, traffic noises and unfamiliar sights and sounds. Some weeks later, his confidence was already increasing in so many aspects of life.
Likes: Affection and attention, being close to his trusted people, his monkey toy, cheese and little sausages, car rides, Classical Italian Opera, and a fan blowing on him on hot days. He also enjoys food-scattering enrichment in the garden.
Dislikes: He prefers quieter places and environments.
Special talents: He becomes remarkably loving once he trusts you and the environment
Specific needs: Griffith needs a calm, patient and understanding home, with minimal comings and goings, in a quiet area. He is excellent with other dogs. With strangers he needs time and care to develop trust in them
Cat workable: Not tested
How long they can be left for: With careful build up, he can be left for an hour with other dogs but any family adopting him will need to spend time helping him feel secure and safe
Current area: Surrey, UK
