Batida had come for spaying when we were at our 8th action in Filippiada in 2023, and she would dance inside the crate every time she saw us, happy and dancing even more.

She was a tiny little dog that we would take out of the crate for a bit, and she would dance around the room with all the mischievousness and charm you can imagine.We couldn't leave such a dog on the street again, so of course, she came with us to Athens.

She continued to dance at the shelter and gives kisses and cuddles to everyone, both people and dogs.Batida was adopted quickly, but unfortunately returned after two years. We don't want to mention the reason as it concerns very personal family matters. She was returned to us in tears, and it was a very difficult decision made for the dog's well-being.

Batida is a wonderful little dog, truly wonderful.

She is excellent at home, she is clean, incredibly sweet, affectionate, and carries within her the joy of the world.

Not the overwhelming kind of joy, but the light-hearted joy that makes you want to spend time with her.She truly deserves to find again what she has lost. She is incredibly social and friendly with all dogs and all people, and she loves with all her being.

Are you human? You're her friend. Are you acquainted with her? He is her friend. Are you some unknown random stranger? You're her friend. Are you a man? You're her friend. Are you a woman? Are you her friend?

Got it? She only has friends. He basically has all the friends. That sounded wrong, everybody is her friend.

We named her Panacota, firstly because she has the milky color, and secondly because she is very sweet. She is like a milky dessert, like panacota.

She has a long, egg-shaped head. And she also has these small, black, triangular eyes, which are as if they are coming from deep within.

And a short, muscular body. From the one side of her family, Panacotta certainly had a parent or a grandparent who was a Bull Terrier. On the other side of her family, we have no idea where she comes from, but it doesn't matter. 

She is sweet like a dessert, she is very young, and she is ready to make you love her from the get go.

One of her paws is a little crooked from an old fracture, and when she sits or stands it makes her look like those short, crooked leg dogs whose oblique legs become their trademark, instead of their flaw.

Have you ever had a friend with whom instead of going out for coffee or a drink or to eat, you would arrange to go for a walk and chat along the way?

You would start from one of your homes, dressed in casual clothes and shoes, and walk around the neighborhood without rushing to get somewhere, just picking a straight path and walking as long as the conversation lasted.T

hat's how the walk with Olaf is. Calm, relaxed, without running, without tensions, without much thought.

You see this guy looking at you like that through the bars and you want him to be yours and to grant him all his wishes.

Olaf is a serious and measured man, with a beard and mustache and eyebrows and a fiery gaze.When he first arrived, we struggled to understand him.

From the very first moment, we knew he was a serious, measured, clean, and calm dog. He was very closed off back then, both with people and with dogs.

He was neutered, adapted, and gradually softened, until one day, on a walk with him, we looked at him and suddenly thought 'look how he has changed.'

Olaf is a dog that is like a calm force. He has something that makes him seem almost human.

Like a heavy guy you meet once in a while in a café who has a veil of mystery around him, and you constantly wonder what this guy is really like to someone who knows him well, loves him, and trusts him.

Houdini got his name because in a way he reminds us of those wizards of the old generation who gave you the impression that they could fit in a hat and disappear.

His thin, deer-like body, his slender face and the way he walks that looks like he's hovering also remind us of something like a magician, a genie, etc. His owner died and Houdini was left alone, and so he came to us.

He was very stressed at first, he was angry with us and it seemed to us that he was an antisocial dog, but as soon as you put a leash around his collar he became another dog and walked with joy. Wizardry; Another reason why his name fits.

Now he's calmed down a lot, he's adapted to the shelter just fine, and he's incredibly happy when you get into their cage to take him for a walk. He is a small and medium-sized dog, very special in appearance, and huge in personality.

He found himself thrown away like garbage before he even opened his eyes. A classic practice that really makes us ashamed now. Somewhere there is a mother who in a few months will probably give birth again, she will again give birth to unwanted puppies, again they will be thrown in the trash and the chances of them being lucky too are minimal.

It is very difficult to keep such small puppies alive, that they have to be fed every three hours, someone has to help them go to the toilet, they have to keep them warm and safe.

Demis and two of his surviving siblings were lucky enough to find hospitality in one of our volunteers who took care of them with dedication and consistency, raised them and are now ready to get their first vaccine.

Demis started his life in the worst way, because someone decided that he was not worth anything, and that it was perfectly legitimate to let him die torturously in a garbage bag. He didn't die, he lived.

He got a ot of attention when we posted him on socia media, and he was adopted immediately. He went to his new home with the best advice, adapted very quickly, and lived there for two weeks, until the couple simply separated, and the dog became unnecessary.

Such irresponsibility, such immaturity. It is extremely ugly and immoral to lock up a puppy for adoption, to get him ready, to go to a home for a little while, and to return having lost a very important part of his development. Demis was returned in the summer, at the end of July, when everything slows down, and from a home he found himself back in a shelter.

Devastating for his psychology, especially for a dog at such a sensitive age.He is truly an exceptional puppy, we love him very much, and we want him to find his forever home as soon as possible, this time with responsible and serious people, not just serious-looking and enthusiastic but immature ones.

He is truly an exceptional little dog, sweet and gentle; we love him very much and want him to find his forever home as soon as possible, this time with responsible and serious people, not just pretentious, enthusiastic, and immature ones. He is crate trained, walks on a leash, has lived in an urban neighborhood, is social, very good with other animals, and knows some commands.

VIDEO with his story.

Okay fine, you can't imagine what a love this is. We fell in love with him from the first moment we saw him, when he was a tiny baby, with mange and sparse hair and a serious, heavy, and unbearable expression.

For his name, we asked on social media for suggestions, and Napoleon was proposed two or three times. The second most suggested name was sea urchin, but we didn't understand the resemblance to a sea urchin, really!! The black, stretched hair around his head didn’t remind us of anything at all!

Napoleon recovered, grew up, got vaccinated, and is ready for a forever home.

His demeanor, heavy and burdensome, shed off from the very first week, and in its place came a smile that has stayed. In most of the photos, he is smiling because he is generally a cheerful dog.

We try to use his name whenever it's appropriate and correctly, but it spontaneously comes out that we call him 'Boulis.' BECAUSE HE IS A BOULE.Firstly, he is round. Very round.

Secondly, he is somewhat innocent. On his own, he does not easily take initiative; he usually mimics. If another dog runs, he runs too. If we walk, he walks too. On his own, if he had to choose, he would obviously spend the whole day lying down.

He is generally a heavy type, not in character, but in body and energy. Of course, he is a puppy, and will be happy and play like a puppy, but it already seems that he will become a dog that gets a bit bored and has moderate energy.

With his rich fur, round belly, and fluffy head, he normally looks like a teddy bear. You want to laugh, you want to hug him, you want to grant him all his wishes, you want to turn back time every week, so you can enjoy this age as much as possible, over and over again.
