Adopt Hermés

Male · Young · 2 years

Profile of dogs from Toledo Rescue Mission: Hermés is one of the five first dogs rescued from a perrera in inland Spain, that is closing and all of their 80 dogs, kept in terrible conditions, have to be evacuated. He is a beautiful big Mastin Mix with a brindle coat. Hermés used to be called Nr. 36, but that is now all behind him - he is now a member of Triple A Marbella family, and on his quick way to recovery from the past of neglect and misery slowly staying behind him, but still - he is in a shelter, and he should be in a home.... Hermes lives together with 2 big female mastins in the shelter, and he is behaving very well with them, especially considering that he is a younger boy, and the two ladies are in their senior years - he gives them space, treats them softly and respects their walking speeds, when walking together on the leash. When you take for example Hermés and Ananda walking together, you can even hold them with one hand, that's how smoothly and calmly they are both walking on the leash together, it's lovely. In the dog park, he is quite independent and likes to go sniffing by himself or with his friends, and does not yet search so much human contact, which can be great for a home, where the dog is given space and time to spend on his own, or together with other dogs, where the human is not necessarily available 24/7. Of course, once he will have his own human, he shows more affection and attention to his human, like he shows to the caretakers and volunteers that he knows. But he is not clingy or dependent on the human's attention at all times. Hermes has a little red bump in one of his eyes, which we will be removing once his physical recovery from the perrera is in an excellent status, which should not take too long anymore. It is not a big surgery and he will be totally fine shortly after, we are sure. Hermés is looking for home with some outdoor space preferably. He could be an only dog of a home, but he would also be excellent together with other confident, perhaps older females (we have not yet tested him with males, but he is not making drama about other dogs). His shoulder height is 73cm. As he is quite a big boy and should he decide to jump up, there is quite a lot of dog, then preferably he would like a home without small children.
