Betty (reserved)
Don't look and realize that this dog has never had even half a chance in his life. Not half, never by anyone.
No one dealt properly, or probably not at all, no one ever loved her, no one helped her, not in the slightest.
And yet, this dog with zero opportunities, managed not only to survive, but to stand on her feet and her values, which she alone discovered and decided to maintain, as if she had them from a previous life.
Betty is an even-tempered dog. With her wonderful, pitch-black eyes, she looks and observes what is happening around her, but she does not intervene or take initiatives on her own. At the moment he mainly observes.
It is very cooperative with people. Whether you want to take her for a walk, want her to sit next to you quietly, or try an exercise with her, Betty will work together, as if she knows that's what a dog should do.
He has the intelligence of a wolf dog, without having the confidence.
Now that her life has changed, that she has attention, love, education and proper care, she observes everything trying to understand the new reality, and learn how to become the best version of herself in it.
We believe that she will be able to become a cooperative, good and trustworthy pet, and that all this love she has been deprived of, she will give generously if given a chance.
Cristiano (reserved)
Cristiano is the dog whose mood is painted on his face, so in each photo he looks different.
In some photos he is serious, in some he is funny, in others he is happy, in others he is bored, in others he is stupid and knows it, in some he looks lustfully, in others he stares, in others he makes fun of you and in others he looks at you as if you are making fun of him.
Every time you look at him, you'll know what he's feeling, what he's thinking, what he wants and what he doesn't want.
He is a very, very sweet, very cooperative and very, very good dog. He is even-tempered, but at the same time cheerful, he is enthusiastic about the little things, but at the same time discreet and in manners.
Suki (reserved)
You will only smile. That's probably why it was born, to make people smile.
You won't laugh at her "ha ha" type, a funny dog. Although sometimes funny, it's more sweet than funny. We wanted to make it Caramel, that's how sweet it is, but a four-syllable name isn't ideal.
Suki looks not only with her eyes, but also with her ears. Not always, but sometimes, and especially when he looks straight and a little up. Then her ears are like they're looking at you.
He's a very sweet dog that you want to spend time with, because he's just very pleasant. She is very communicative and good, she is sweet, she is cute, she goes for a walk, she sits down to be caressed, then she goes for a walk again, then she looks at you, and she does all this without ever being demanding, annoying, or excessive in anything.
Macarena (reserved)
Macarena is one of those dogs whose psyche is as follows: "when I don't understand what is happening, I will stay still like a rock and fall down showing my belly and at the same time looking at me with puppy eyes".
That's how he reacted when he first came to us. One day she opened up, wagged her tail, went out for a walk, and began to rejoice not only from stillness with her wonderful look, but also normally.
She was so malleable at first and so open to learning that her change came from one moment to the next, and the dog that didn't walk became the dog that walks, communicates and rejoices.
She is a little girl submissive in character, very sweet, who has that look that melts you, the pleading, with the expressive eyes that make you understand how the most powerful weapon of dogs evolutionarily is this. Their look is like a thousand words.
It is a dog that even if it is afraid trusts, and you can shape it like dough, as long as you are in the mood and the right way.
Suzie (reserved)
Susie has the character you expect from all those chubby, female, cheeky dogs. It has the attitude, it has the quirkiness and the grace, she's got style, she's got grace basically. She is very sociable and human-centered, always happy to see you, and tends to jump on you for caresses, but of course her center of gravity pushes her down, so she falls to the floor lays down and expects a cuddle.
When you're not paying attention to her, she sits through the cage and looks at you that way and you melt. She loves not only people but also food as you understood.
Her gorgeous butt swinging back and forth with joy will likely remain hairless forever, as Susie went through a huge adventure where she nearly lost her life. She was bitten by other dogs very badly and to us he came with the skin back missing all and with sepsis.
She spent a very long time in the vet clinic, was incredibly patient, recovered, and is now ready for her new life.
She is not young, but she feels and acts young. Her attitude towards life "if one enjoys good food and people's attention, there's nothing elese one wants"
Barbie (reserved)
When Barbie first came to us, along with a few other dogs from the municipal kennel of Tripoli, she got out of the van and did not start running back and forth, smelling and rejoicing.
Sshe stayed around with us.
She would fall down and show us her belly, wherever we went she went, and when we started leading each dog to its cage, she followed us without a leash, considering it obvious that wherever everyone goes she should go too.
That alone says a lot about her character.
Its driving force and what activates it is not food, it is not the tendency to chase something, to smell, to play.
Her innate tendency is to follow, to participate, to be part of what is happening in her herd, even if her herd is currently made up of only one human and her.
Every time we take her for a walk she comes, every time we take her to the office she cooperates, she sits, tries to do what you show her to do, and she's with all her being there, with you, focused on what you're doing together and focused on you.
If she were a girl she would be what we call a girl. Tall but not stocky, with girly features, long blonde hair, sweet face, almost babyish and manners.
It is a dog that really seems to have grown up in ways, that knows how to behave, that knows how to do what is appropriate at any given time. She is wonderful and brilliant.
