Santiago

MORE INFORMATION ON SANTIAGO

Santiago was dropped off to one of our partner kennels along with 4 galgos but his hunter who no longer had any use for them. A regular story in Spain unfortunately. That was back in October 2025 and he’s been at the shelter since then.

We visited in February and when we were outside his kennel, he came right up to the bars to see us. When he was let out, he was a little more shy, keeping clear of us but he was very curious when we had treats and was trying desperately hard to be brave. He came up to us and was able to take some treats which was brilliant considering we were complete strangers. We often look for that curious streak in the nervous pods - its a good indicator that they’ll progress relatively quickly in a home when they have much more human interaction on a daily basis. He has had a bit of practice walking on a lead around the kennel area and walks very nicely without pulling. Out and about in the big wide world, he might be a little more nervous so will likely need some practice.

Santiago is good with the other dogs, and whilst another dog would likely give him a bit of confidence, for a patient adopter we do think he could live as an only dog. He hasn’t been cat tested but there are cats at the shelter so this could be arranged.

Santiago will be neutered, is vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. He is passported and available for adoption now.
