Happy endings
Tina

Tina

She appeared one day in Vytina, a mountainouw village in Greece, as all hounds "appear" out of nowhere. For the first five or six hours she was in the main square, sitting, looking motionlessly at the people, as if something was waiting. In the end what (or who) she was expecting never showed up, and Tina spent three days of incredible anxiety, going around the whole village in panic, looking for what she had lost forever.

Then she started following people, going to them for caresses, looking for a new person to trust and devote herslef to. She was incredibly lucky that two of the people she followed didn't pass her. They took her in their yard and took care of her.

Tina wasn' microchipped, but when she was abandoned she was in heat, and byt the time she got spayed we found out she was already pregnant.

She is a high energy dog, that need adequate and proper exercise in order to be happy and relaxed at home. 

She has spent some time in foster care in an apartment in Athens, and has learned some basic things. She knows the crate, in which she had learned to stay for a few hours, she is clean at home and if she is properly relaxed she can stay calm at home.

She needs three walks a day, in which she will go to the toilet, play and relieve herself, and do some of the commands she knows, so that she works both her body and her mind.

She is wary of strangers entering the house, but when in her crate she stays calm and doesn't bother. She will need to continue her education, which she can succeed in because she is brilliant, and everything she has learned so far, she learned immediately and still remembers after being in the shelter for so long.

Carolina

Carolina

From the first day she entered her home in Athens, it was as if she had always lived there, in an apartment in the city, even though she had never lived in the city before, even though she had seen the houses only from the outside.

Carolina was abandoned with her three siblings in a rural village when she was about six months old. Over the next two months she was left alone - her siblings disappeared as strays usually do.

Our volunteer neutered her, and after the sterilization she did not want to leave her again in the village stray, for she was "the easiest dog I have hosted".

Carolina sleeps at night in her bed or in her creet, never wakes you up in the morning but waits for you to get up, drink your coffee, and then go for a walk.

She goes to the toilet outside, smells and walks relaxed, then plays for about ten minutes with her toy in a parking lot or park, and then continues walking on a leash joyfully, doing some training on the walk - Nothing special, just the simple, basic commands.

She comes home, eats, sleeps, can take a toy to munch on her bed, or engage in her kong, and relaxes until her next walk. She hasn't soiled inside once, hasn't done half the damage, is left alone at home without stress or nagging, and lives in harmony with two other dogs and three cats, with whom she is incredibly kind.

She is young, tall, long, with a thin long muzzle, and looks like a ballerina taking a break between workouts.

She's incredibly obedient, and if she's not allowed to do something in a home — bullying the cat when she's eating — she'll only need to hear "no" once, and she won't repeat the mistake.

It is a wonderful, easy-going, incredibly loving and even-tempered dog, who gets along well with all humans and all animals.

Dora

Dora

We will never understand how any animal can be abandoned, but with certain dogs we are honestly overcome by the lack of thought, empathy and responsibility that some people have.

Dora found herself on the street in the countryside. Eight-month-old baby, Dogo Argentino. Another victim is that of uncontrolled births, with puppies being sold to whoever they are, just enough to put the money in their pockets.

Also a victim of the incredible lack of understanding regarding the needs of dogs, and indeed of this breed, he fell into the hands of people who bought such a special dog to boast to the neighbors that they caught Dogo with one blue eye, or something like that.

Expensive dog, cheap knowledge, the result was probably that they could not meet her needs.

Dora is a happy, silly girl. It seems from her behavior that in her first house she never learned anything. She was bought by people incapable of teaching her anything, and despite her age she still behaves like a baby.

She is still in her teens, and has time until adulthood and maturity to grow up properly, learn everything a dog, and especially such a special dog, needs to know, and live happily.

Her adoption requires a basic training program from the beginning, with preparation before the dog comes home, and the young person should keep in mind that once Dora reaches adulthood, that is, when she is about two years old, she will have to do some training again, which will be adapted to the adult Dogo Argentino that she will be then. Then he will no longer be a child.

Casper

Casper

Casper, believe it or not, was abandoned on the street when he was an infant.

He came to us along with his brother, and then they looked like two drops of water. As we got older we started to distinguish them, not only because Casper pulled out hair, but also because we started to see each one of them as their character.

Casper is a happy puppy, who when he sees you wants to jump on him and make you the familiar puppy joys, but in the end he sits down, because he once learned to sit down, and now he thinks that's what good kids should do. He is very intelligent, very handsome, and very playful.

He loves to run and grab his ball, and then munch on it, and then let it come to you, and wait for you to throw it back at him.  

He's assertive with his toys against his brother, so if there's another dog in the house, there should be rules and proper demarcation so Casper doesn't feel like he has to protect something of his own

Frankie

Frankie

Frankie, believe it or not, was abandoned on the street when he was an infant.

He came to us along with his brother, and then they looked like two drops of water.

Growing up, we began to distinguish them, not only because one of them grew longer and the other's did not, but also because we began to see in each one of them their character. Frankie is a happy puppy who, when he sees you, wants to jump on him and give you the familiar puppy joys, and he does.

And he rejoices and rejoices again, and he is completely benevolent and completely lame. Little by little, he learns to sit, and learns other things that will help him become a perfect pet.

He loves playing with his toys, chasing his ball and munching on it in a corner, and when his brother, who is more assertive, sometimes bullies him to get the ball, Frankie doesn't understand what happened and just leaves looking for another toy. She is a sweet and kind-hearted puppy

Loukia

Loukia

.It was abandoned one day on the edge of a village, on the main road next to the cemetery. For the next few weeks, she wandered around looking for a place to feel a little safe. He hid among bushes and went out only at night.

Almost all the residents who live in the village had seen her at least once, running around to avoid them, and they were all talking about Malinois that someone came and left there.

Frightened by people and scared by other dogs, she finally managed to stabilize herself in one of the neighborhoods where she was fed, and was finally caught to be neutered with a lot of effort and with the help of the people in the neighborhood.

He had a chip unregistered - another litter, another puppy sold out, another wrong choice that someone quickly got bored of because his dog came out smarter than him and didn't know how to handle it.

So this girl, who has been wandering like a phobic savage for weeks, is not a phobic savage at all. It is an animal that went through incredible stress, and combined with the stress that dogs of this breed have in general, the only way she found to be able to manage what happened to her was to run, avoid, and hide.

The guys at the veterinary clinic where she recovered after sterilization named her Lucia, and they were the first to adore her. And she loved them too.

When she first came out voktta, the first time she did the block, she was scared and confused. The second time she was more cooperative and confident, the third time she ate delicacies and made the commands she knows that have become second nature.

Lucia has gone through training and it shows. How far her education has come and how she has learned to let off and off in her daily life we do not know. We will start with her from the beginning, knowing that she already has a good foundation.

She is brilliant, as all these dogs are, she has two bright eyes and a razor brain, which now that she has started working again and is not overwhelmed by fear, helps her find herself again.

She is very small, she is very young, and she is looking for a new home and a family that will have the appetite, time and knowledge to deal with her properly.

It is not a dog that can be adopted impulsively, it is not a dog for people who do not have basic knowledge and experience, and it is certainly not a dog that will be satisfied with two walks on the block. She should work her body and mind daily and as much as she should - no less but not more, as well as she should learn to calm down when she has to.

To get to know her, fill out the adoption form and we will call you back
