Happy endings

On Christmas Day, someone felt it was the right day to leave THIS creature next to a garbage bin. He was barely two months old then

He stayed there, next to the gaarbage, for hours, and waited. 

He went from being a fluffy furbal to a fluffy and long and slim baby, who still hides himself in a hug when something is scared or when he is in a place he does not know. 

Chris was fostered for the first two months in a home, where he learned to irritate three adult dogs, but not irritate them so much that they could not stand him at all. 

He learned to treat three small children (two of them very very small) correctly, and not to jump on them out of his joy or chew their fingers trying to suck out whatever it is puppies try to suck out when the chew stuff.

He learned to go for a walk on a leash, although he prefers to play like crazy when loose, because he is still a puppy. 

He also learned to obey the people with whom he lived with, and to be a good boy - good until he is not. As a baby who is now learning, he obeys once and disobeys twice.

He is a puppy, with everything that comes in the puppy concept. He will melt you with his soft coat, his sad eyes and his puppiness, he will excite you to see him learn new things and discover the world, he will drive you crazy when the puppy stubbornness in him won;t let him obey anything, as if he is deaf, and he will make you proud with every new command he learns (eg do not chew the laces of my shoes with your teeth which are like piranhas teeth)

If you're ready for all the good and the annoying things that a life with a puppy brings, Chris is almost ready for his forever home. 

This puppy's beauty is so stunning that it's difficult for us to find the words to describe him. Lucky for us, photos do the work - the only thing the photos do not cover is the incrediby soft fur.

Apart from his exquisite appearance, Shogun is a happy, social and very tender puppy. There's not much to say about him really. He loves human company, he shows his love and his tenderness for all people, he loves to takes walks on a leash, and he is generally happy to be aive and happy to experience everything, together with people he adores. 

He has been fostered in a home and is excellent for a dog of such a young age. 

Do you have a ball? Have a happy dog. She can play for hours with it.

You can just sit down, without getting tired, throw it, and she will run to catch it. Once, twice, fifteen times. If you have a ball with a rope, you can also sit, hold it on one side, and she will pull it on the other with all her strength. As much strengh as she has anyway, since the whole dog is the size of a medium bag.

Barbie is such a tiny Epagneul Breton, and whatever she lacks in size, she makes up for it in personality.

Although she seems crazy, she has lived in a home, and she knows how to behave there. She is quiet, good, sweet. She goes for walks, comas back, eats, sits on her bed and loves having company.

She does not cope very well with loneliness. This is what we know at least until now, from the one and only home in which she has lived in. These thngs change with the change of environment, or if they do not change, they can be corrected. 

Barbie is a brilliant little dog, and we believe there's nothing she can't learn. As a dog that has already lived in a home for a long time, there are things that she already knows, and things that she will have to learn from the beginning, as long as someone is willing and able to guide her.

All the meaning that the expression "genlte giant" can have is personified in what Alkis is and his 40+ kilos. His entire being is summed up in these two words. He is a giant. And he is gentle.

He is so good that he was attacked by a pack of dogs and left bleeding on the street, looking dead. Him. The one who could put down a bear. It's not that Alkis doesn't have the strength, it's that he doesn't care about that.

She has a soul that can fit in the arms of a small child, even though she is trapped in a huge body. His soul can be seen in his gaze, which has a childishness and a sadness, and in his faint smile formed at the edges of his lips.

He has now recovered from his injuries, and he is with us. He goes out into the courtyard, and it's as if he has no purpose, unless there is a human there. You take a step, he does one too. If you walk, he walks. If you stay steady, he stays too, and that huge head of his rests on you, and seems willing to stay there as long as you keep petting.

If he happens to be half a meter away, you call him and he comes slowly, taking five minutes to complete one step, and you almost hear the plaf plaf that his feet make on the ground. He comes like a good boy, as he does it all like a good boy. It's as if he's trying to overemphasize how good and good-natured and good-hearterd he is, and to overshadow what you see with your eyes when you look at him, and the prejudices you have about dogs like him.

He is looking for a home and will be given as a family member, to live in a home with people he adores. 

Carl was found abandoned in a field with his two brothers when he was two months old. They were three babies, one cuter than the other, that when they were all together, they did concerts that could be heard from miles away, and when they were each alone they acted all quiet and mute.

And that's how we named these three babies by names of the Beach Boys.

Karl and his brothers came to the shelter, and some time later, he moved to the women's open prison of Thebes, where he began to follow our training program, which has been running for some years. 

There Carl, with the help of the trainer and the inmates, slowly learns to live in a house, with people, with two other dogs and a cat, learns some basic things like staying alone, going for a walk on a leash, and is being prepared for his forever home. 

Laika grew up in a home, and lived there for the first years of her life. She lost her family because her people couldn't take care of her anymore. He has not lived like a hound, he has lived like a pet, and so, from a pet, he ended up in the cage.

Sometimes they say you have to take a step back before you take a step forward, and this setback we want to believe is for Laika an opportunity to find her forever family, and start living (again) as she deserves.

She is a tender and kind creature. Just as she is tall, thin, and impressive, she takes her for a walk and it's like having a fawn next to you.

We don't have much more to say about this girl. She is very good with other dogs, very sociable and loving with people, and indifferent to cats (as far as we know so far at least). 

Whatever kind of home she ends up in, she will beautify it because she is like a painting (just look around your space and imagine her sitting in a corner; doesn;t it look better with her in it?).
