Ramón was born on the street. He was his mother's only puppy, and there couldn't be any more, because it wouldn't fit inside the belly.
His mom is a dog ten pounds, and by the time she was a month and a half old he had almost reached her size. Now he has overcome it.
He grew up from 45 days old in our shelter, along with his mom, and after completing his vaccines, he began to go out into the world and discover the joy of being a dog.
When he first played with another puppy he was so excited, so much so that he forgot his fear of all the stimuli that overwhelmed him since it was his first walk on a leash, and enjoyed the game.
He was a very innocent puppy, who loved the company of other dogs as soon as he broke away from his mom and started having his own experiences.
At first, he was glued to every dog around him, and slowly, he begins to gain self-confidence, to reflect his personality, without depending on either his mother or the other dogs.
It's one of our puppies that has worked a lot, both by us at the shelter, and by our volunteers at a training center where they go every week with some of our dogs.
Ramón is now the best student. He is focused on the person holding him, he has learned some commands, but most importantly he has learned ways to communicate with people. He walks very well on the leash, he does his need on his walk, he is very sociable, and he has found the balance between when we do things and when we just rest and do nothing.
Macarena is one of those dogs whose psyche is as follows: "when I don't understand what is happening, I will stay still like a rock and fall down showing my belly and at the same time looking at me with puppy eyes".
That's how he reacted when he first came to us. One day she opened up, wagged her tail, went out for a walk, and began to rejoice not only from stillness with her wonderful look, but also normally.
She was so malleable at first and so open to learning that her change came from one moment to the next, and the dog that didn't walk became the dog that walks, communicates and rejoices.
She is a little girl submissive in character, very sweet, who has that look that melts you, the pleading, with the expressive eyes that make you understand how the most powerful weapon of dogs evolutionarily is this. Their look is like a thousand words.
It is a dog that even if it is afraid trusts, and you can shape it like dough, as long as you are in the mood and the right way.
Alaska is cool, like a summer breeze. It has the freshness of the new dog, the new, the fresh, with the innocent girl's smile.
And these girls, fresh, young, with rich hair and eyes full of life, we love them very much.
She's still basically a puppy, and like all sheepdogs like her, even though she's still a puppy, she also has the maturity of a calm, big dog.
She likes to hang out, relax, sleep and spread her wonderful fur on the floor, and let her presence spread out in the space and fill it and beautify it.
It is a dog that you will enjoy having close to you and with you, that will beautify your life and everyday life.
She is vaccinated, spayed and healthy according to her latest tests.
Susie has the character you expect from all those chubby, female, cheeky dogs. It has the attitude, it has the quirkiness and the grace, she's got style, she's got grace basically. She is very sociable and human-centered, always happy to see you, and tends to jump on you for caresses, but of course her center of gravity pushes her down, so she falls to the floor lays down and expects a cuddle.
When you're not paying attention to her, she sits through the cage and looks at you that way and you melt. She loves not only people but also food as you understood.
Her gorgeous butt swinging back and forth with joy will likely remain hairless forever, as Susie went through a huge adventure where she nearly lost her life. She was bitten by other dogs very badly and to us he came with the skin back missing all and with sepsis.
She spent a very long time in the vet clinic, was incredibly patient, recovered, and is now ready for her new life.
She is not young, but she feels and acts young. Her attitude towards life "if one enjoys good food and people's attention, there's nothing elese one wants"
Zina was delivered to us by her owner. She is a wonderful Pointer, with an amazing, edgy body and a beautiful, pitch-black head.
She is a cheerful, sociable and loving dog. Obviously, she's worked as a hound and it shows. Taking her for a walk on the estate, she always "shows" us the chickens, lest we have not realized that they are where they are, and if we do not show interest and move on, she also precedes, without sticking around and insisting.
She is very cared for and has not lived a bad life. She came to us very healthy, fully vaccinated, dewormed, with her booklet.
She is a very good dog, like all Pointers, easy-going, innocent and tender. She now has the opportunity to live a life as a pet, and we believe that in her new life she will be very happy.
As a hound it will need good and proper relief in order to be happy and balanced.
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.
