Happy endings

YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE AS WE FELL IN LOVE and sorry for the capitals, but I really will know. 

First of all, it is a small and medium-sized dog, which does not match its colors and fur, which are common in large dogs. One the prisoner. 

Secondly, it has a forelock right above the nose. Ten hairs that decided to grow for no reason, unlike the rest. ANARCHY on the forelock! (From this it also got its name, it reminded us of the stereotype of the native from westerns with the hair of mohicans)

Her fur?? Her fur has this pattern on the hairs, which alone have decided to look combed, as if they were making water because a comb has just passed over them. 

But the most important guys in this dog is THE CHARACTER. Pocahontas is a SUPREME 

Basically she is: happy without being guilty, sociable without being burdensome, communicative without being irritating, and when she doesn't do the one command she knows, sit down? Then she takes on the look of a good student and the look glars and the forelock stands upright and sits on a clarinet candle and you want to go out on a mountain and shout from the top STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, THE DOG IS SITTING!!

An amazing creature is Pocahontas, wonderful in all of her. He came to us from the municipal kennel of Tripoli along with the last batch of skeletonized dogs that the Municipality agreed to deliver to us, and it is as if he lived with us forever. 

While searching since we had already had her for quite some time at the shelter for our first photos from the municipal dog shelter of Tripoli, we came across a photo that reminded us of something. The puppy with the number 30 from the count we did in the summer of '23 was this one, and we recognized her by her tuft. That unique tuft of hers.

Pocahontas has been hosted in a home and was excellent. Obedient, quiet, incredibly good, she never caused any damage, and she learned to do her business during her walks from the very first day. Since she is a dog that was born and raised in a shelter, it will be much easier for her to adapt to a home in a quiet neighborhood, so she can more easily get used to walking comfortably in an urban environment without being scared by the movement, the scooters, the cars, and the crowds. Besides that, the dog is exceptional, and she is one of our most well-behaved and sweetest dogs.

When she is very happy and excited, she gives you that dog-like smile, coming towards you and showing you all her teeth.

We adore it and you will love it too. She is healthy and ready for her forever home.   

Monica was born on the road, in one of the coldest villages of mountainous Arcadia, in the heart of winter. 

Their mom, Tilda, did everything she could to keep her babies warm and full in an incredibly inhospitable place. 

One of the babies disappeared, and mom with Monica and her sister Milva came to Athens with us. The babies grew up with their mom, weaned, and are now ready for their forever home. 

Monica is a dog who has taken a lot of her mom's hesitancy, but she has also taken her tenderness and kindness. 

She is a little scared at first, but she approaches timidly and tenderly, and when you make contact with her she enjoys both you and herself.

Milva was born on the road, in one of the coldest villages of mountainous Arcadia, in the heart of winter. 

Their mom, Tilda, did everything she could to keep her babies warm and full in an incredibly inhospitable place. 

One of the babies disappeared, and mom with Milva and her sister Monica came to Athens with us. The babies grew up with their mom, weaned, and are now ready for their forever home. 

Milva is a dog who has taken a lot of her mom's hesitancy, but she has also taken her tenderness and kindness. 

She is the bravest of the two sisters, she will take the initiative first, she will catch you first, she will show all the puppy joy and playfulness

This dog is as from n another world. As if from another era, as from another cosmos, a noble, airier, more dreamy world. 

Chantilly (meaning whipped cream) is as if she was born into a noble family, where generations and generations of good manners were passed on to the younger members, without anyone having taught them anything practically. Politeness, this old-fashioned nobility of fairy tales is as if it comes out of her genetically, as if by nature. 

Although it is a large dog, it is delicate in manners, and an incredibly discreet presence. 

He will be happy, he will come for caresses, but he will never demand anything. She will approach you slowly and discreetly, like a breeze, only if you call her, and she will let you caress her wonderful, eerie face. It will be like stroking a cloud. 

While the other dogs run and play, she sits like a lady somewhere in a corner, looking around calmly and in a way that makes her look wise. 

She looks as if she is too good for a shelter, without being a snob. 

She came to us from the public pounf of Tripolis, nery underweight and neglected. 

She is healthy, vaccinated and spayed. 

If you like woolly bear dogs, and you stare at them on the street while imagining how perfect it would be if they went out in a mini, WE HAVE ONE!

Stevie looks like a dog, but he's the size of what the coffee table can't reach. He has two gnarled eyes that he doesn't even undress when he runs, and he has a scherzo, and he has a nazi. 

He's funny, too, and when he's happy, which he's almost always, he's even funnier. 

We met him at the municipal kennel of Tripoli, where he made us a lot of nazis and chuckles, and he always played it difficult before coming for petting - and the dogs that play it hard "and well" and do these dances "you won't catch me / look how I come so cut that you just can't reach me" drive us crazy. 

We thought for a long time that she was a girl, because she has the character of a girl (these nazis are much more characteristic in female dogs). And we called him affectionately "butterfly", because that's how he danced around us, like a butterfly that you can't cathc but you so much want to.

When we knew he was a boy we couldn't get over the butterfly as a name and as a feeling, and we took him out Stevie, from Steve McQueen in the movie "Papillon (translated the Butterfly". AND WHICH WE DISCOVERED ALSO SUITS HIM.

Because he says, in the film, Papillon the protagonist, is unjustly imprisoned for life imprisonment for a murder he did not commit in a prison with very harsh conditions, and determined to win his freedom, he allies with another prisoner and they plan their escape. 

So our own Stevie, our very pwn Papillon, who was unjustly imprisoned in the pound of Tripoli, allied with us and planned his escape, which was late, but eventually happened!

He is vaccinated, neutered and healthy, loves to run and catch his ball, and is looking for a home where there is humor and an appetite for play. 

When Barbie first came to us, along with a few other dogs from the municipal kennel of Tripoli, she got out of the van and did not start running back and forth, smelling and rejoicing. 

Sshe stayed around with us.

She would fall down and show us her belly, wherever we went she went, and when we started leading each dog to its cage, she followed us without a leash, considering it obvious that wherever everyone goes she should go too.

That alone says a lot about her character.

Its driving force and what activates it is not food, it is not the tendency to chase something, to smell, to play.

Her innate tendency is to follow, to participate, to be part of what is happening in her herd, even if her herd is currently made up of only one human and her.

Every time we take her for a walk she comes, every time we take her to the office she cooperates, she sits, tries to do what you show her to do, and she's with all her being there, with you, focused on what you're doing together and focused on you.

If she were a girl she would be what we call a girl. Tall but not stocky, with girly features, long blonde hair, sweet face, almost babyish and manners.

It is a dog that really seems to have grown up in ways, that knows how to behave, that knows how to do what is appropriate at any given time. She is wonderful and brilliant.
