Nemo

Dog name: Nemo     Nicknames:

History: Galguero hand-in to Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert, Seville. “Late in the afternoon and with the center already closed, 7 greyhounds arrived that had been rescued from a kennel in another province and that, if it weren’t for us, would have had a very different ending. And among them arrived Nemo, a beautiful greyhound in a terribly sad condition: full of parasites and with a very serious open and infected fracture that had to be treated immediately, so that same Friday morning we took him to the hospital.We took him to our orthopedic surgeon without further delay. First they had to treat the infection, so he was not finally operated on until then.” If that wasn’t bad enough, he then dearly died from a Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Dream home: Somewhere semi rural where he has doggo friends to show him what to do, but that will let him sleep when he is tired after walks. He likes to sleep a lot!
