Grim is a 2 year old male. He spent first half of his life locked away
in a house. One day he saw his chance and ran off with another dog from that
house, his friend Sofija.
It was believed that they had gotten lost when they were found by
rescuers but it is more likely they simply did not want to go back. In this
country dogs are viewed as vermin and suffer the some of the worst cases of
abuse you can imagine. Whether they were victims of abuse was unknown at this
stage, and they were returned back to their owner as the streets really is not
a place to be for any stray. Especially as dog killing for some was a business
and so it was thought better they are safe in their home than on the
street.
However it was later found out that the owner did not care for the dogs
what so ever, and the abuse certainly was prevalent. When Grim and Sofia one
day had enough of the abuse and for the first time stood up to their
owner and growled back at him when he had cornered them and was beating them
both with a bat, the owner decided he did not want dogs that one day may
retaliate against his abuse and he dumped them back on the streets.
The pair had no where to go, had no idea how to survive outside and the
temperatures were now below zero. Grim and Sofia were found again by rescuers
but this time not as healthy as before. Grim was badly wounded, Sofia was
nearby and both were trembling with fear.
They had obviously been the target of a pack of dogs that would reside
in the area they were dumped in. This happens a lot in Croatia as the street
dogs are literally fighting starvation every day and will fight to the death
for a scrap of food. New dogs entering into that area are putting their lives
on the line. This is what we believe happened with these two poor dogs.
Grims' lucky break came when a lovely lady in the UK offered him a home. He settled straight away and showed how much love and affection he has and what a lovely soul he is. He has been with her for 4 months now but sadly due to personal reasons she cannot keep him. She is deeply saddened by this but wants to do what is best for Grim.
As a result of his past life Grim does continue to have problems with one of his back legs and does need controlled and balanced exercise. He will also require monitoring by a vet as occasionally inflammation can occur causing discomfort. Reports from his current vet will be available to be sent to his new vet in regards to past treatments given.
Grim is a very peaceful well mannered little dog , he gets along very well with other friendly dogs like himself and adores human company. However because he is a German hunting dog breed we advise against him being re-homed where there are cats or other small mammals.
