Our sweet girl was found by a couple of tourists alone on a mountain in Evia. He was in the middle of nowhere, and they took her with him because, as we were told, "there she would die".
People were vacationing in Greece by van, and little Stella traveled with them for three days, until they brought her to us.
She is an incredibly sweet baby, with two gorgeous, moist and very expressive eyes. She sleeps peacefully in her creed and does not require attention, from the first day she went for a leash ride on the estate, and spent many hours with us without disturbing at all.
She is very sociable, she is incredibly human-centered and loving, and she is a dog who wants to cooperate and live with people.
We have met apidated puppies, raised them and raised them, but this is one of the puppies that conquered us from the first moment with the delicacy of her manners, her tenderness and her sweetness.
When you first see Vodka, you think it's a five-month-old puppy. But she's not a puppy!!
It is an adult dog, small, thin and chaotic.
She is very sweet and human centered, and when all the other dogs are happy, jumping and running up and down, as soon as you enter the courtyard, Vodka sits right in front of you and looks you in the eyes.
As kind as she is to people, she is so kind to other dogs. He plays with them but politely, pulls the game but never claims it, and coexists perfectly.
He came weighing 12 kilos, being only three and a half months old - and he was thin too! A giant puppy, which we saw and fell dry.
He was found with a broken back leg, and the poor guy was in pain and a little numb. At first we thought the frizzy hair and goggled eye were from his stress and pain, but NO!
Peter's eye is goggled like that! Because that's what he wants!! Also, his hair is an extension of his personality, and of course it never occurred to us to comb him. The boy wants to have a mohican, let him have her.
As soon as Petros got over the anxiety, the nerves, and his leg started to get better, he too started to open up. While he was at the vet, he would go out into the garden and walk and run after us and be happy, and if you talked to him very sweetly, he would fall down and roll over.
He also slowly learned the leash, which he hated at first, but then he got used to it, and after realizing that it's something good, he started going out for walks, and after his leg got better, he moved to the shelter.
When he's alone on the walk, he walks right behind you, and if you turn to look at him, he acts like he's not walking behind you, he just happened to be there, looks away and tells you in his own way to ignore him because that's how he feels better.
He still acts a bit heavy and awkward with people he doesn't know, but he's sweet, and if you do him the favor of not pushing him and stressing him out, then he starts making his joys and cuteness jokes.
When he is in the company of another dog, whether on a walk or in the office, then he opens up even more and is happy and very funny.
This baby with the frizzy hair, the punk and the unique and curled eye is a very special child. His hesitation and disbelief combined with his enthusiasm and joy make you want to engage with him, and make the time you spend with him very enjoyable.
The important thing to keep in mind, in order to gain his trust, is to not ovewhelm him, to give him space and time, and he will open up immediately. He doesn't respond well to being backed in a corner and not given space.
Our sweet girl lived stray in a village in the Greek countryside. She gave birth to her babies in a cul-de-sac, next to the yard of a house, behind some crates. The people there respected her, fed her and allowed her to raise her babies as safely as the place could offer her.
She protected her babies from strangers and barked to keep them from approaching. She was caught by the man feeding her, and came to us until the babies were weaned and she was neutered and reintegrated.
While at first we thought she was a phobic and not social dog, from the first moment she got out of the car, she waged her tail at us. She's not phobic at all, she's shy and a little hesitant at first, but she's an incredibly loving dog who really deserves a home.
Violeta sees you and melts, you take her out of the cage and she falls on her back and cries – it's her way of welcoming you and showing you how happy she is that you're going to take her for a walk.
She learned in two weeks to go for a walk outside the vet, she always goes to the toilet outside because it's spotless, and slowly she started wagging her tail on the walk happily.
She is a dog who, as soon as she realized that it was safe to open up and trust, bloomed like a flower. She's relatively small, incredibly kind, and a wonderful mom.
Marina shines. Shining all over from top to bottom, her coat is so clean, glossy and smooth that it looks like expensive velvet shining in the light.
But she not only shines on the outside, it also shines from within, by a light in her soul that makes her glow entirely.
She is very healthy, sociable, incredibly happy, loving, sweet and wonderful.
A very Greek hound, like the ones we grew up with, black brown, with the classic brown eyebrows above her eyes and two wonderful ear braids that spill next to her face and make her look like a carefree girl who went out to wave her hair in the countryside.
No matter what she's been through as a hound, nothing has left her with her experience. No phobia, no issue, it's as if she just came out of a fairy tale and is ready for an even more fairytale life.
Marina is an amazing dog really, balanced, healthy and pleasant.
