MELBOURNE , male , Shelter since 30.04.2012 Croddbreed , DOB 15.10.2010 45 cm

Poor Melbourne !

He was tied to the APASA gate during the night and he was so afraid that he chewed through the lead and tried to hide in a corner .

We spent almost an hour to gain his trust so that we could touch him .

He was completely full of ticks and we could not touch his back . This makes us suspect that he was kept on a chain somewhere in the countryside and was kicked at times . But to our surprise , he came to trust us quickly and is a very sweet dog towards people now . He has a very good size , to fit into any family , but since he is quite young , his new owners should have a garden !
