In July we
were contacted by a retired shoemaker here on Thassos. He had a
mother dog (called Zina) and one of her puppies, both of which he wanted
to keep. He had already sent her 3 other puppies to a lady in Kalivia in the
hopes that she could care for them and find them new homes. However, it didn't
work out quite like that.
In the end,
the shoemaker could not cope with Zina and her baby, and the lady in
Kalivia had financial problems in looking after so many unwanted dogs. So, ACT
stepped in and we now have available for adoption Zina (whom the shoemaker
had sterilised!), her four puppies, and another puppy from the lady in Kalivia.
Zina and 1
of her puppies are the first guests in the new kennel, 3 other puppies are
being fostered in Theologos and one in Kalivia.
Zina is
about 18 months old, quite a big girl, and can be rather nervous until she gets
to know you. Then she is gentle and co-operative. With love and patience she
will become a marvelous family dog.
The
puppies are about 4 months old and are happy, uncomplicated little souls. Their
hobbies are eating, sleeping and playing! They are already learning their names,
and the magic word "Come"!
