This is Pedrín… 
(Updated March 2025)
He has been at our shelter in Calvià for over three months now, our six-year-old male German shepherd. In December he was handed over to us together with his dog buddy Rusty (for whom we quickly found a great permanent foster home on the island) because his family had left the island.
Pedrin is a very friendly and sweet male dog who hasn’t really experienced much in his life. He spent most of his time on a finca, but with a family and children. Unfortunately, there were no long walks or joint activities, so Pedrin had to learn a lot of new things or learn new things. Today we can say that he has already done really well.
He loves going for walks together and already walks quite well on the lead (as long as there are no major distractions) and you can tell that he’s a really smart little guy who really enjoys learning new things under the right guidance and can then put what he’s learned into practice. But of course, things like that are definitely neglected here at the shelter.
His absolute passion is balls – Pedrin really can’t see anything else and can hardly be stopped. But always in a very friendly way. However, we are currently working on getting him to focus on other things.
Pedrin loves exercise and activity and he really needs people who enjoy this and who do a lot with him. Of course, he should and wants to be a full member of the family and children who already understand dogs are no problem at all. However, they should already be able to behave in a dog-friendly manner.
Pedrin is definitely not just a city dog for us – he should be allowed to live as close to nature as possible and preferably with a garden. Cats should not be in his new home. He needs to gradually learn how to interact with other dogs, as he has lived exclusively with his buddy Rusty for the last few years and hasn’t really had much contact with other dogs.
He is a really great and clever dog with lots of potential and we really hope that we will find the right people for him very soon.
