Another happy tale: Caline, one of our blind kittens who arrived at the Center this summer, was adopted over the holidays by a couple in Paris. She arrived at her new home in December and is doing very well. You can see in the photos she has made herself right at home!
Negra
Name: Negra
Color: White
Breed: Labrador Mix
Gender: Female
Age: About 2 years
Her name is Negra, the Greek for “black woman,” which only serves to emphasize the humor and good nature of this mixed white Labrador.
Negra came into our care in September of 2014 and we believe that she must now be about two and a half years old.
Negra was abandoned in Aegiali when she was only a puppy and our volunteers were concerned about not only her care and feeding but also about the danger of the roads. The owner of one of the restaurants in Langada agreed to take her and feed her but he could not make a true home for this lost puppy. Now and then the assistants in his restaurant would take Negra home for a short stay and the animal lovers of the area would pet her but there were many problems. Negra tended to roam the streets of Langada and Ormos and there was the ever present danger of being killed by either car or poison since other restaurants in the area found her to be a nuisance and complained. At last our volunteers decided to bring her to us in the hopes of finding a lasting home for this sweet neglected dog.
And that is the miracle that happened. A family in Holland took Negra to live with them along with their five year old boy and their two small dogs. Everyone is flourishing, Negra has been enrolled in basic training courses and the family is in love with our dear Negra.
Atlas & Anta
Dec 2013 Update:
We are happy to report that Anta has been adopted through one of the vets with we work with on the island. Atlas is still with his mother and enjoying life in the country, and is growing up big and strong. Atlas is still available for adoption, but would require training—he does not know how to walk on a leash, he is afraid around people.
Atlas and Anta are 3-month old puppies who we think is going to be medium to large dogs. They were living with their mother in Lefkes but the dogs’ owner is not able to take care of them. (The mother is not up for adoption.) Sweet Atlas and Anta are in need of a loving home and soon–won’t you consider adopting one of them?
