Happy endings

Alice came to the shelter in a bad shape and gave a great fight to survive.
She managed not only to become a beautiful dog but also to overcome most of her fears.
She only needs a family to feel safe again and people who will convince her that life is still worth living.

This is our girl, Romina. 

She was found tied with a cable to a tree, nearbly a Roma Camp. She was completely starved and weak.

Soon however, she transformed into this happy and active dog.

Healthy, vaccinated and sterilized she is now looking for a home that will show her what love means.

By making Serenata your friend, you put an end to all the lonely walks, cold nights and empty home. She’s loving, obedient and always ready for cuddles and walks. This girl had us enchanted with her charm.

Serenata was found in the middle of the street. She weights about 15 kg, she is 3 years old and of a medium size. She is very social and playful and gets along with other dogs.

Hello there! I am Kira!

 I love to climb and discover new paths. My goal is to explore new places every day! I have reached every single corner and hill of the shelter. If you come to the here I will show you all the hidden paths! Oh! And all the tricks I know on how to escape from my cage. (insert sneaky laugh) I love playing games.

 I am friends with everyone here (dogs & humans) and I love them all! I was abandoned when I was a small puppy…but I don’t mind! I am a free spirit and I know that someone some day will come and get me and we will travel together everywhere. We will capture together every moment!

Let us introduce you to our girl Sousou!

Why the name you might ask?...

Well, because of her charm, the cute “puppy eyes” stare she gives you & because she lives in her own parallel universe. She loves going on walks and running. With Sousou, you will be going for Jogging in the morning and you will get to know the entire neighborhood & cherish new places. After the run, she will probably find a place peaceful and quite to relax and travel to her own universe. She is almost 2 years old and has the most beautiful, expressive eyes we’ve ever seen! Ever since she was a puppy she’s been with us at the shelter, alongside her sister “heart” Playful & cute, (sometimes a little grumpy too) Sousou is the most lovable dog!

Well, that's Nacho. He's a bit like a mascot - not of the whole shelter, only of the armchair in the office, where he had grown roots sitting and looking grumpy.

Nacho been in foster care for a while now, and we can finally present him again correctly.

First of all, he is not the most social dog in the world, and probably never will be. His whiskers and eyebrows and moustache make his antisociality incredibly cute - he looks perpetually grumpy and that's adorable.

Despite not being the most socialized dog in the world, he is very functional in a home. He can stay home alone, he goes for walks, he is house trained, he eats his food, even though he prefers that no one is present, so you leave the bowl down and go to another room for a while, and as he starts getting used to you, he comes and sits close to you, and even closer to you, and he can even climb to bed with you (although we don't recommend it,  at least not in the beginning).

On the road he is quite afraid of cars, and generally things with which he has not been in contact since he was a puppy, so if you live near a central road, you leave the house with caution and enter as quickly as possible in alleys, away from traffic.

Nacho is a dog that imitates other dogs, as dogs with low self-confidence usually do. The presence of a second social dog in the house will help a lot, because Nacho will copy their behaviour, or at least try, the presence of a second dog with behavioral issues will not help at all.

Dogs like him are not ideal for families with very young children, because they will not be able to follow some basic instructions on how to treat the dog - Nacho needs space, time and stability in the behavior of the people with whom he lives.

Nacho is the dog that will take a while to wag his tail, will be slow to show confidence, will be slow to look happy in a new home. The more stable his routine is, the faster he will adapt.

He will probably never wag his tail to guests, but he will wag it for you. Just for you. And this is what makes those people who have adopted "fearful" dogs bond so much with them, this exclusivity, at least in the early days, or in the early years. Sometimes all the years of the dog's life.
