Fito

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Fito arrived to us in poor condition, and really afraid. He did not have a microchip, and he arrived with Sanidad after being found on the street. Fito's vision is a bit less than perfect, and also he cannot hear so well, so it is important that people approach him in a way that he can feel you coming close to him. He might seem a bit disoriented when left alone in an unknown place due to the lacking of these senses, just take him with you on your side when you move along! He enjoys to be rubbed under his chin by the people he knows, and he loves to stroll around in the sun with his best friend Vicente. Fito is very snack-oriented and will follow you anywhere if he smells snacks in your pocket. Food makes him happy, dancing and wiggling his butt! Due to the renal insufficiency that we saw in his first blood test, he is eating special food "Renal" and healthy snacks like blueberries, apples, carrots. Fito is a calm dog, who likes to rest most of the time on a soft bed, and he also likes to go for calm walks, preferably together with a canine friend, who helps him orientate, who will be his eyes and ears. Fito is looking for a calm home with a small number of family members, and preferably without children, not because he does not like children, but because the energetic movements of children would be too much for his limited vision. Fito also uses his mouth a lot for playing, communicating, and for grabbing snacks, so when introducing kids (especially who are holding food) to Fito, we just have to look out that he accidentally does scare a child. He would really like to have a home together with another friendly, calm dog, to snuggle together for the rest of their lives, to go walking together on adventures. Fito shared his bed, toys and food very well with his canine friends. Fito understandably does not want to be randomly grabbed and touched especially by strangers, that is not a favourite thing for him. He is looking for a human, who will speak for him, and allow him just to be in peace, when meeting new people in social situations. With the humans that he knows and trusts, he is a very cheerful boy, running to you when he hears your voice, greeting you with happy cries, and wagging his tail every time you are near. Fito's age is very approximate, it is not very clear how old he is, when you see him, you might think he is a really senior boy, but actually the veterinary check shows he is younger. Probably a difficult past life makes him appear older.... Together with his new family, the shelter would carry out additional tests for his renal condition, to learn the potential cause, and how to best help him more. His shoulder height is 49cm. He is castrated, vaccinated and ready for his new family! He is negative on Mediterranean diseases.
