Adopt Turrón

Male · Young · 3 years

Profile of dogs from Toledo Rescue Mission: Turrón 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. Turrón used to be called Nr. 38, 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.... Turrón is a big softie, and loves to be around people. He can be just a bit suspicious about some new people, like men who might feel or look threatening to him, and then he might release a little growl to signal, to please give him space. When he encounters people that he feels directly safe with, then he is looking for human closeness and loves to put his head in your hands, in your armpits, just to be close to you, and is wagging his tail at the same time. He even likes to be bathed and washed, anything that brings humans closer to him. He is a quiet, calm, kind boy who is looking for a home, where the humans first will give space for him to arrive in peace, but then when he comes out of his shell, offer him all the physical contact he is longing for. For the time being, it seems that he is especially fond of women, probably due to the softer energy by nature. Turrón is not a dog that will be happy staying alone outside in the garden away from his humans. Turrón's shoulder height is approximately 72-73cm and once he is feeling confident and secure, he will stand up straight, and he will look so majestic, with his beautiful creamy fur and almond-colored spots. Turron has been out walking with other female dogs already and he is calm and kind around them. When the contact gets a bit too close too fast, he might say no or ask to respect his personal space with a little growl, which we appreciate, as his is able to communicate his boundaries, very good. He will continue to go for walks with other social dogs, and we are sure that after a short time, we will identify a dog friend that he feels good to be together, who respects that Turron is soft and tender, and needs to take things slowly.
