Reggie

You may have seen our video of  Reggie and Sakura yesterday *click names to watch)  he is such a sweet dog looking for the right home. He would benefit from someone who had experience with previous dogs. He is 4 years old and ready for a forever home.

Reggie arrived at Akira in a very poor state. His skin was very sore, and he had lost lots of fur. When he arrived, his skin was pink and very crusty and sore for him. He was found to have active Leishmaniasis and so started a treatment programme, including daily medicated baths one of our volunteers gave him to ensure he was as comfortable as could be. The treatment protocol worker wondered, and as you can see, he is very happy, and all his fur has grown back. He is still taking the daily inexpensive tablets to keep the Leishmaniasis controlled, but after a few more blood tests, we hope all medication can be ceased.

Reggie is very easy to walk on the leash. He can be a bit picky about meeting new people sometimes, but after a slow introduction, he warms up. He seems to be good with female dogs but not so good with other male dogs. We would also recommend a cat-free home. Reggie travels well in the car and has been numerous times to visit our volunteer’s home and always hops in and out, eager to go. We are looking for an adult-only home for Reggie as we feel this will suit him best.

Reggie is castrated and fully vaccinated. He has a passport, so can travel to the right home. We have lots more footage of him, so please ask if you would like to see. You can email akirashelter@aol.com or WhatsApp at +34657689567. You are also welcome to come and visit Reggie at the shelter. We are open every day between 09.30-16.00. No appointments are required during these hours.
