Black Beauties

Apparently there is such a thing as “black dog syndrome” where black dogs are overlooked in favour of lighter coloured dogs.  If a dog tugs at your heart then the colour of their fur is irrelevant isn’t it? There is a dog suitable for everyone if they happen to have black fur so be it. At Compassion For Greek Paws we currently have 14 black and dark brindle dogs looking for a forever home.  Lets get past the “black dog syndrome” and consider fostering or adopting one of our black beauties.

Meet our beautiful beloved black and dark brindle dogs ready and waiting to be adopted into a loving home: 

Sisters ~ Beauty and Serene

Beauty ~ born approximately Feb/Mar 2017. Beauty by name beautiful by nature. Weighing in at 31 kilos she is slightly lighter than her sister, Serene, however her fantastic winter coat makes her look heavier and rather lion like. Beauty is looking for her forever home, a loving big girl who waits for a cuddle. Beauty will make a wonderful companion in a loving home. Beauty was found starving as a very young pup at the edge of the village, but she soon grew into the beauty she is today. Although a big girl, she’s a little sweetheart and will sit calmly when being paid attention – she adores cuddle time! Beauty doesn’t let anyone pass her pen without saying hello, she will put her leg out so you can shake hands.

Serene ~ born approximately Feb/Mar 2017. Serene is a big heavy built girl who just loves a belly rub, weighing in at 33 kilos she still likes to sit on my knee! Once the excitement to see you is over she is quite happy to relax and fall off to sleep while having a cuddle. Serene was found starving as a pup and will guard her food, she is sometimes upset by the dogs either side of her pen, but once out she is calm and avoids other dogs. Serene is looking for her forever home but as she is still an exitable big pup she will not be homed with young children or other dogs. Sometimes misunderstood, Serene is a beautiful girl who needs a firm, but loving owner, somewhere she can relax and blossom into the wonderful, loving companion I know she can be. Beautiful Serene has been neutered, and she although timid of the car to begin with was on her best behaviour and all went well.

Sam ~ thought to be around 3 years old and the possible brother of sisters Bonita (adopted), Megan and Spot who were born March/April 2016. He has been used as a working dog and then abandoned. He arrived in the village around mid January 2019. He was timid in the beginning but he was fed daily and began to trust us running over tail wagging as soon as it was his dinner time. Due to three homed bitches being in season in the village he was attacked by a pack of working dogs. He is not an aggressive dog so surrendering has probably saved his life. He suffered open bites on his front leg and two huge lumps on his side where he has been bitten but not cut the skin.He Is 40 kilos. All he needs is a garden, a soft bed and the love of a family of his own. He is a quiet dog who needs a second chance.

Sam

Bob ~ born approximately Feb 2018. Bob is a large pup who was given to an older lady when he was 6 weeks and has grown too big for her to manage. She walks with a stick and can't care for him & her family are worried that shadow could accidentally bump into her. The family want Bob to be re homed quickly. We have cared, fed, vaccinated (will also neuter) Bob from the very beginning so his health book is up to date. Bob is a gentle giant & adores attention and cuddles, he would sit on your lap if he could.
