Lefteris is striking. You look at him and wonder how perfectly black and white have been placed across his body. You would not mistake him for another dog, even if you had seen him only once in your life.

But Lefteris is impressive for another reason too. He has managed to shine inside the shelter, to reveal his wonderful character, and to move past the insecurity that kept him at a distance during his first days here, when he arrived from the municipal kennel of Krestena.

A young shepherd mix with a thick, fluffy coat that somehow always looks clean, no matter how much dirt it runs through. His expression can seem serious, yet in a moment it can soften and turn playful and carefree. Balanced, but joyful. Patient and calm, yet full of curiosity about everything happening around him. Eager to meet people and other dogs, while still a little reserved.

On walks, Lefteris is happy. And you will see it clearly when you stop somewhere in the shade and sit down. He will come next to you, roll onto his back, and enjoy the moment with you.

What he is looking for is simple, and it should be something every dog has: a family who will make him truly theirs, who will give him a place beside them, where he can lie on his back and simply enjoy life.
