Happy endings

When we first saw her, we opened our mouths wide and looked in ecstasy at the incredible patterns on her fur. It was unlike anything most people had ever seen before, at least not up close. 

Some of us were surprised because she seemed too special to have come out like this, and by asking and showing her photo to friends and acquaintances, one of them finally recognized the breed. 

Catachula leopard is very, very rare here. It is an American breed, originally bred as a hunting dog and secondarily as a herding dog, and now, like most breeds, it is also bred as a pet. 

How such a rare dog was found to carry a stray in a village in the Greek countryside we have no idea. Polka was found without a chip as well, meaning either that she was imported into the country completely illegally, or that she was born here. 

In any case, he is now with us. He is a sweet, kind and sociable dog. Because of her age and becasue of her breed, she needs proper and enough exercise and she can be a perfect companion.

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

.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
