Limon

Dog name: Limon      Nicknames: Limoncello, Remy

History: Limón was abandoned together with Melón in a cage at the gates Galgos en Familia. The state in which both arrived was very serious: beaten, full of wounds, with eye infections, very malnourished, anaemic, with a lot of parasites and several diseases associated with them. This was an extreme case of animal abuse.

Breed: Mixed

Colour: Black and Tan

DOB: 07/07/2017

Height: 50cm

Weight: 15kg

Neutered: Yes

Mediterranean disease: Anaplasmosis+, treated and recovered well

Health Condition: Good, he has a few lumps and has had some teeth removed.

Character: Remy is a cheerful chap with a zest for life.  However, although he can appear very happy with a very waggy tail, he does carry anxieties from his past and has a number of self-soothing behaviours he resorts to when dealing with stress – in the home he will scratch at the floor and doors.  Outside he will become increasingly het up and vocal.

Likes: Being involved with his humans.  Sleeping somewhere comfy with his humans close at hand.  Food of any sort.

Dislikes: Things which go ping!  Microwaves and pinging phones really upset him.  He’s also not keen on his own reflection and will bark at it.  When in urban areas he has a tendency to sing and can become very over-excited, pulling on the lead and barking.  Also does this at the end of walks.

Special talents: Excellent with cats

Specific needs: Someone who has time to devote to him and to love him

Cat workable: Yes

Dream home: Somewhere he can be with his human most of the time; nice, sniffy places to walk away from too many urban streets; comfy places to sleep.
