Adopt Orion

Profile of dogs from Toledo Rescue Mission: Orión, a beautiful Hovawart mix (we believe), 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. Orión used to be called Nr. 46, 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.... What's even more sad is that Orión used to have a home and was left in the perrera by his previous family. When we picked Orión up from from the perrera with the help of Galgos del Sol, he was in a terrible condition, nor we neither the groomers we contacted, have ever seen fur in such terrible neglected condition, he was carrying years of feces and dirt in what should have been a long, silky, beautiful black fur. Unfortunately he had to be fully shaved, which normally would not be done for a double-coated dog, but with the help of Pawadise SPA Marbella, Orión got his new shiny look, and the fur will grow back. Sadly the fur was not the only problem he has been suffering from - he also had a bad eye already for a longer time, and the eye specialists confirmed that the eye will have to be removed. However, he has not been seeing from this eye already a long time, so for him the eye surgery only meant getting rid of the pain and inflammation. Orión has a wonderful, friendly, open character full of joy. He is super goofy, like a big clown! Sometimes he behaves like a huge baby, rolling around in all kinds of sharp grass and then everything gets stuck into his silky fur which is already growing back. Then you are forced to pick all this sticky stuff out of his hair and he enjoys the touches and the attention. He adores all the volunteers and employees, and always wants to be near people, walk and run with them, ask for snacks and pets. He is such a joyfu
