Happy endings

He came for TNR one day, and never left. But he is a dog we couldn't let go back on the street.

Bolshoi got his name because he is like a ballet dancer, who one day, after leaving the show, various adventures happened to him, and his white costume was soiled and torn, and he himself was greatly hurt.

But even though he ended up like this, dirty and distressed, the dancer's grace stayed with him, because this is something he has inside him permanently, without trying.

His ENTIRE fur has those mermaid type of curls, the very fine, long ones, like the ones poodles have. The whole dog is like that, and we have never seen anything like it. He is literally like a sheepdog wearing a poodle outfit. 

We had time to take some pictures of him before he got a haircut, because he was matted and full of dreads, and we will wait for his wonderful hair to grow long again. He's an amazing puppy, with two gorgeous watery, pitch-black eyes.

Charlie was a stray dog, living on the streets of Greece. He was run over by a car that left him shattered. 

His front left leg was amputated, and his hind right leg suffered severe injuries. A huge effort was made to preserve his hind leg, so that he can live as a three legged dog. 

He has had surgery and is now in recovery. For the moment he walks in two legs, and occassionaly sets his operated leg on the floor, which is a good indication that he might be able to use it soon.

He has suffered a huge shock, and for now is very shy and fearful. 

Thelma was born virtually in the car, as her mom, a stray dog who was found pregnant, was transported from the street to the shelter. 

She grew up in the first few weeks in the shelter, in a confined, safe space, along with her sister. After the frist month, she spent her days between veterinary practice and foster cafe, as she and her sister both fell ill. 

With various difficulties and ups and downs, she managed to recover.

Louise was born virtually in the car, as her mom, a stray dog who was found pregnant, was transported from the street to the shelter. 

She grew up in the first few weeks in the shelter, in a confined, safe space, along with her sister. She spent the rest of her days between veterinary practice and hospitality, as she and her sister also fell ill. 

With various difficulties and ups and downs, she managed to recover. 

Tsipouraki is a dog that from the photos looks like these huge griffons, which reach thirty kilos in weight, and that you need three pairs of hands to enjoy all that fur.

Up close it is the size of a large handbag.

Besides being gorgeous, he is very cute, and just as he is happy his curls go back and forth and you want to take him for a walk only on windy days, to stir his hair and bring out his nose the purple pink, which is sometimes hidden under the curls.

Don't ask us about the name, it was an inspiration of the moment and we all agree that it suits him (he is named after a traditional Greek alcoholic drink)

Tsipouraki is a boy, and he is looking for his forever home.

Harley was found abandoned in the middle of nowhere, along with his three siblings, when he was a baby.

He seems to be an English Setter, maybe a mix, probably from an owned dog that gave birth, and the owner didn't know what to do with the puppies, and didn't want to find a solution.

When he first came to us, along with his brothers, he was very scared and hesitant. And how could he not be, when the first months of his life, which should have been the most wonderful and the safest, were filled with uncertainty, and with the stigma that he is unwanted.

He has begun to open up, rejoice and play, like a puppy, and is looking for his forever home.
