"An animal is not a toy. You must know that adopting an animal is a life-changing decision. As an animal owner you are legally obligated to ensure that all of its welfare needs are met. If you do not, you are committing an offense punishable by law."
Happy endings are stories about lucky strays that found their forever families. Discover their wonderful journey from abandonment to happiness!
Fanoula was found abandoned in the villages of Mani, in the middle of the summer, without water or shade anywhere, and without her people.
She is a very human-centered dog, and the abandonment must have been a huge shock to her.
She was found by one of our volunteers and came to Athens, where she is in hospitality. He is an obedient dog, very quiet, and clean at home.
She goes for a walk and then sits calmly next to you wherever you are and whatever you do, and that, as good as it sounds, is her biggest problem.
Fani becomes overly attached to her caregiver, and being alone at home will be a process she will have to learn all over again.
Obviously, mistakes were made in the house where she was before, and Fani never became independent. This is not good for her, and the stress she experiences when she is alone is something she will have to overcome.
She is very sweet, very easy-going, and very intelligent, and it will take one of her families an education at first, so that Fani can manage stress when she is alone.
Just because she's stressed at home doesn't mean she'll be stressed exactly the same way in a new home, but that's something that's in her character.
It will not be easy for her to adapt to a home where the whole family will be away for work for eight hours, nor is it a solution to always have someone with her and never be left alone. She will have to learn to spend a few hours alone, and this will be done gradually, with help from us and a trainer.
He had been beautiful since he first arrived, even though he was a baby with scabies who had been found stray in Oropos.
It's an incredible sweetness in his look and soul, and it showed even when he was at his worst.
As Max recovered and grew, he became more and more beautiful, and sweeter and sweeter. His hair color, blonde and all his grace make him the ultimate puppy of advertising, and his appearance along with his character fascinate you so much that you think all puppies should be like this.
Max is a happy dog, excited about life, people, play and everything in general.
He's actually completely innocent, and even when his excitement irritates his friend Juneau and he growls at him, Max just doesn't understand what happened, because he's just happy and thinks life should be that way. Cheerful and carefree.
If you like carefree dogs, this is the ideal one.
.When he had first arrived, he had just been found with mange in Oropos, he was so small that he could fit in a handful, and despite his suffering he was incredibly cute.
Growing up and recovering, he began to become a small, short man, who knew what he wanted, who had an opinion, and who had style.
He has the character of a dog who likes to think he is mature and serious, while of course he is still not, he is just a baby.
Juno, named after Junior because he was half the size of the other puppy he was with, is a unique dog that everyone who has met him has adored.
He is really very pleasant. His childish seriousness along with his appearance, the beige over his eyes that is like forming eyebrows over his eyebrows and his strange boy, which is short, but he thinks he is not, make him unique.
He is a brilliant puppy who will grow up to be a brilliant dog.
Mirka is a tiny madhouse, with two black ears that help her fly instead of run, and a lot of wit in her mind and character.
She was found, like all hounds, dumped on the street somewhere in the countryside.
When she sees you she is incredibly happy, but as much as she is happy and as long as her ears go up and down, she respects your personal space, and she is happy next to you not on you.
One way to make her happy is to throw balls at her and she runs and catches them.
AND HE ALWAYS CATCHES THEM.
She's the best at catching the ball, and walking around with it in her mouth.
Playing with her in such a way, combined with a good walk, will greatly help her to let off steam, satisfy her hunting instinct, and be happy and calm afterwards.
She is a kind-hearted Setter who enjoys playing with you immensely, and tries to communicate without imposing her presence.
Sebastian is exactly what you see in the photos. He's funny, he's VERY HAPPY, and he's very focused on you.
To you who talk to him, to you who caress him, to you who hold a delicacy, to you who are human.
Are you human? You are his man.
She has all the good things that these small, hairy puppies have, without having the bad ones. He loves to sit next to you and hang out with you on the couch — he's generally used to climbing on furniture, loves human company, and loves attention.
He's very nice and sweet, he's very nice with other dogs, and he doesn't have many oddities. He just wants to share things, and maybe he wants some training in being home alone — maybe not.
He walks hesitantly and is a little scared outside - maybe he was one of those little puppies who didn't go out for a walk but in a yard. The presence of another dog will help him scare the outside world, but generally he will need some patience until he learns how to walk without fear.
Bahar has all the good and all the jokes that Schnauzers have - one of them is that you do not see mouth and eyes, but you are used to communicating with a head whose hair you mostly see.
She is very cheerful and enthusiastic. VERY MUCH.
And of course, the way she rejoices, with her mustaches and her eyebrows and her beard, she gets even funnier.
Bahar has gone through some kind of training, during which she has learned to do certain things, expecting a treat in return.
She knows how to walk and keep an eye on you, and waits for a treat to be rewarded, since she was such a good girl. How far her training has come we do not know, and we do not know if this behavior persists even when there are no treats on the walk.
She also knows a command or two, to sit, to lie down, and maybe she has done agility, because as soon as you instruct her to climb somewhere, she jumps and climbs immediately.
He grabs the treats by the hand like a little crocodile, with mouth and teeth and with all the momentum of "give it here, I WON IT". She needs training in taking treats politely, and generally being calm when there is food, which she loves.
