Picolo
Dog name: Piccolo Nicknames:
History: Rescued from abandonment in Guadalcazar by Galgos del Sur, Cordoba
Uk arrival date: 18/07/2026
Breed: Spanish Whippet
Colour: White and brindle
DOB: 09/06/2022
Height: 47cm
Weight: 12kg
Neutered: Yes
Mediterranean disease: Not stated in the behaviour assessment
Health condition: No current health concerns. Previous digestive issues and an eye infection have resolved. He is currently doing well on a low-fat diet with protein, carbohydrates and vegetables.
Character: Affectionate, curious, friendly, confident, happy and loving. Piccolo enjoys being near his humans, loves fuss and cuddles, relaxes well and is generally unfazed by new places. He is bright, sociable and interested in meeting other dogs.
Likes: Being near his humans, sofa time and cuddles, mooching and sniffing in the garden, walks and secure-field time, chasing and playing with other dogs, food and treats, cosy beds and chairs, and activities that break up his day.
Dislikes: None specifically noted.
Special talents: Very bright and responsive to his name, fantastic on lead, and an enthusiastic countersurfer despite his short stature!
Specific needs: Piccolo would suit a home with people around, a garden with room for zoomies and sniffing, regular varied walks and opportunities for safe off-lead exercise. He needs calm people who will help him feel secure while encouraging independence and self-confidence. Stimulating activities and fun will suit his bright nature. He has a pretty high prey drive, so this will need appropriate management.
Cat workable: Not tested
How long they can be left for: Under assessment
