Long ears, blond beard, friendly eyes – Löwenzahn has it all. This young girl was born 09/25 in the streets of Zacharo. The Filía team sterilized the mother and cared for the puppies. Löwenzahn now lives in the Filía shelter and is waiting for her person.
She is open, curios, friendly, playful, not barker, good with cats and dogs, walks well on the leash, loves the garden and the beach.
She will be a medium sized dog and has hunting dog features.
Günther was found by tourists near Kaiafa lake in a terrible condition. He was almost dead. Only skin and bones, totally weak, full of scars, shivering, scared, a lost soul.
Filía took him in and gave him the necessary love and care – and of course a good number of vet appointments. Luckily Günther’s blood tests for mediterranean diseases were all negative and after some weeks he has gained not only weight but also joy of life and energy.
His character is extremely friendly, he loves to cuddle and play, he is super soft with our other dogs, especially the puppies. Even cats are no problem for him even though he is a pure hunting dog. Günni has something goofy and makes us laugh all the time with his funny looks and movements.
He is vaccinated, castrated and chipped.
His estimated time of birth is 08/22.
Born 11/25, raised by a friendly dog pack. Nina was found with her sister when they were very young, around 4 weeks old. Our team member Eleni took them in and kept them safe. The Filía team organized the sterilization of the mother and is hosting Nina now.
Nina’s sister was quickly adopted, now little Nina is waiting for her forever human.
She is playful, curios, open and interested, very social with other dogs and friendly with cats. She likes to cuddle with her dog friends and is able to take her time to relax. She even already had her first leash training and behaved very well!
Nina will become a small sized dog.
She had parasite treatment, is fully vaccinated and chipped.
Nani is one of those dogs who carry an entire story in their eyes — even though she herself can no longer see.
Nani was found together with her five sisters tied inside a sack and thrown into a canal, all of them barely alive. At just three weeks old, we bottle-raised the puppies around the clock. As the smallest of the litter, Nani had the hardest start. She developed a severe pneumonia and had to fight for her life, including assisted breathing.
Nani survived — but the lack of oxygen during this critical time caused her to lose her eyesight. Possible neurological effects or behavioral differences cannot be ruled out. What we do know for sure is that Nani chose life with incredible determination.
Today, Nani is a bundle of pure energy and curiosity. She is playful, bold and constantly on the move — running, jumping, exploring and chasing sounds and scents. She experiences the world in her own way and does so with impressive confidence. You can rarely take your eyes off her… or your ears. Nani makes sure you know she is there.
Because of her blindness, her history and her special needs, Nani requires a very experienced, patient and well-prepared home. Adoption is something we would only consider under exceptional circumstances, with people who truly understand what living with a blind and potentially neurologically affected dog means and who are able to offer long-term stability, structure and safety.
Until — or unless — such a home is found, Nani will continue to live with us at the sanctuary, where she is safe, understood and deeply loved.
We are also looking for sponsors who would like to support Nani’s life with us and help cover her food, medical care and daily needs. By sponsoring Nani, you support a dog who fought her way into life and continues to live it with remarkable intensity and joy.
If you would like to support Nani with a monthly or one-time donation, or if you believe you could offer Nani the exceptional home she would need, please feel free to contact us via e-mail.
Thank you for helping us care for dogs like Nani 🤍
Luna, affectionately called Freckel, is a small dog with a very big personality.
True to her nickname, Freckel is a confident little character with a strong sense of self. She moves around the sanctuary as if it were entirely hers — proud, fearless and absolutely convinced that she knows exactly where she belongs.
Luna came to us after spending many years in another shelter, without any real chance of adoption. Despite this, she is an incredibly sweet, affectionate and lovable dog who enjoys human company and closeness. She bonds deeply with the people she trusts and has a way of charming everyone around her.
At the moment, we believe that Luna is best suited to stay here with us, where she knows her surroundings, feels secure and copes well with the local climate and environment. After such a long time without stability, she deserves a place where nothing is expected of her anymore — except to be herself.
Luna is therefore not looking for adoption. We are instead searching for sponsors who would like to support her life at the sanctuary and help us provide for her daily needs, food and medical care.
By sponsoring Luna, you support a small dog with a big ego, a brave heart and a strong sense of belonging — exactly as she is.
If you would like to support Luna with a monthly or one-time donation, we would be very grateful.
