Happy endings

Charles is a GOOD DOG. That's all..

He is good, in every meaning that the word can have when talking about a dog. He lets you stir his hair, flop his ears back and forth, you smoosh him and he smiles and he ' so happy and he plays and he is a GOOD dog.

He is good with the other dogs, he is good with people, he is good at shelter and he will be very, very good in a home as well.

What else can we say now? We are anxious because dogs like him do not usually attract attention, do not catch the eye, and stay in the shelter more than they should, while they belong to a family. This is what we think about when we look at him, and we apologize to him and the only thing we wish is that we are proven wrong.

Ah. Well this is Sifu and he is: sweet, friendly, loving, calm, smiley and essentially perfect.

These ears, with these whiskers around his face, the round eyes, and the goldern color of his fur, combined with his wonderful character, make him just perfect.

You look at him and you want to turn back time, to rewrite the last months of his life, not to have lost his leg, not to have hurt, not to have cried.

It does not suit this dog to be in pain and crying, it does not suit him to be in a shelter, it does not suit him to have been unwanted.

It suits him to live like a prince, and although for us it's a joy to see him and have him near us, we want him to leave here.

Sifu is a three legged and he is looking for a home.

In the public pound of Sparta, in one of the cages, among dozens of puppies and small dogs was also her.

With her was a male puppy, very similar to her, Eddie. Judging by the relationship between them, they are probably siblings, and we gave them their names from the hyenas in lion King.

When Bonsai came to us, she was about ten months old, and she hasn't grown much since then. She looks like a tiny wolfdog, she has the characteristics but she does not have the size, and the most impressive thing about her is none other than her color.

She has this rare coat, the colour of sugar cane, which depending on how the light hits it, sometimes it looks like light gray, and other times beige.

She is incredibly happy, social and friendly. A dog that is happy, that communicates, that enoyed human contact. She looks at you and falls on you expecting to be petted as she was waiting for you all her life, as if he knows you.

She has recovered from her skin condition, she has gained weight, and she is ready for her forever home. 

Something inside her must be very pure and very fresh, so much so that she managed to cover the ugliness and the filth in which she lived in the public pound of Sparta, so that she would come out of there unscathed and more fresh than ever.

Tiramisu, along with her sister (Stratitella), lived as puppies in a horrible environment, and came out of there fresh and fine, as if nothing had touched them.

Until we gave them names, we called them the tiny, cheeky ones, because apart from tiny they are also cheeky. Her sister was adopted, Tiramisu not yet.

She was born on September 21, she is sweet as tiramisu and tender as a tiramiso, so much so that she runs and when you caress her she melts. 

He still has the innocence and purity of a puppy, and now that he has reached full adulthood, his character is this. Eddie is innocent, he's the dog you trust to treat everyone and everything like, "We're friends, huh?"

At the same time he has the intelligence of a dog that can learn everything, really everything. He has an incredible ability to understand what you want him to do, if you guide him correctly.

He will walk beside you on the leash, sit down, look you in the eye and wait for confirmation and guidance from you. It is a wonderful dog, which has been slow to mature.

Or maybe it seemed to us that he was slow to mature, because he is the kind of dog that if you deal with him and help him educationally he will triumph, if not he will get bored, and will find his own ways of relief.

And in the shelter, exclusivity is something that all dogs lack, and this lack prevents them from becoming the best version of themselves. Still, when he's excited, you can see in his behavior what he was like when he was a puppy.

Once you properly explain to him that we no longer behave like this because we have matured and can enjoy other things now, things that big dogs enjoy, he understands it IMMEDIATELY.

If you show him something correctly, you won't have to show it to him a second time. It is a very intelligent dog, which can really be perfect, as long as someone has the will and will to deal with him properly. E

He had joined us from the municipal kennel of Sparta in 2022, as a stunted puppy, and has become unrecognizable. He's vaccinated, neutered and healthy, he's ready to follow you everywhere, in everything you do and what you want to teach him, and he's looking for his forever home.

Giant puppies, although puppies, have something that makes you see the dog that is going to become when they grow up.

Even when they play like puppies, and when they rejoice like puppies, in the midst of the steeliness and the stumbles and that full on puppyhood, inside them has already begun to develop this huge dog that will become, with the thick legs and the big body and the behavior that makes the big dogs look a bit like humans.

Barilla is a puppy, and as a puppy she plays, but like a classic giant puppy, she is quieter than what you expect for a baby at her age. And as if that weren't enough, she's also tender and cuddly, and as if that wasn't enough, she's also gorgeous.
