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.
