💛💙 WONDERFUL WORDS FROM AMBERS FOREVER HOME WITH EUGENIO AND SINAG – THANK YOU 💛💙

We took Princess now Amber from Live PAWS June of last year.

We were looking to adopt a small dog that was low maintenance but instead we fell in love hyper active podenco with trust issues!

We brought her home for a trial period but after a week we knew we wanted to make this work.

It was difficult at the beginning since it was her first time in a home. Everything was scary for her: the sound of opening plastic, ripping paper, the waves, strong winds. She didn’t like going out of the house and was even nervous to go out on the balcony. She walked with her tail between her legs and her ears folded, pulled on her lead and cowered at anything that moved!

She had really bad separation anxiety and she chewed on so many things if left alone. I thought it would never end and we questioned our decision about taking her.

However with a lot of patience, love, dog treats and with the help of a dog trainer she has managed her fears and separation anxiety. We had to surpass the first month and it was like a switch turned on for her. Amber’s personality started to really show now that she was completely comfortable with us!

She is extremely playful and is very sociable with all dogs, humans and especially loves children.

She is gentle and barely barks and now just sleeps the whole day at home.

She is really smart and easily trainable but still cheeky and mischievous, but that is what makes her so funny!

We are so glad we powered through the first few weeks of hardship because it’s definitely paid off!

To anyone who is thinking about adopting a rescue dog: DO IT once you get through the first weeks it is WORTH IT!

A huge thank you to Live PAWS for allowing us to meet such an amazing dog and to the team for allowing us to pester them with every single issue we had with Amber at the beginning!

She has her forever home ❤

We could not be happier with this exciting news that Golfo and Tortuga, two of our long term residents, have found their forever home TOGETHER!!

Joanne and her son George had been watching our social media updates on Golfo and Tortuga during lockdown, so much so that they came to walk them at the center and as everyone does; fell in love!

Both went on trial normally this is for a week or longer if needed but by the timw they got to the front door it was obvious that this was meant to be!

We could not be happier for these two adorable, loving and now extremely comfortable dogs.

THANK YOU Joanne and George on providing; security, love and comfort for Golfo and Tortuga TOGETHER!

Molly and Misty have been rehomed together. This is great news, as they were found in the baranco together. How could you choose between them, clearly this lovely young lady couldn’t, so lucky puppies .

Lucky Laika!! Do you remember the post about Laika ?? The German shepherd who was thrown out of a moving car along with another dog who was never found. We asked for a long term foster carer, we knew it would be a big ask as she is a big dog. She has arthritis and heartworm, and is too old to be treated conventionally so she is receiving monthly treatment to keep everything under control. In the refuge she was on her own incase another dog whilst playing hurt her hips. So Laika was sad, having lived her life attached to a chain, we did find out her history, and now on her own in the refuge. A miracle has happened and a lovely lady has offered to be a foster carer for Laika. She now lives in Vilaflor, she has a lovely warm bed and her own home, she has regular short walks, and has clearly landed on her paws. 

Chula “chulita” has found her forever home on board a boat!! Seen here with Carloss our vice president who went to check she had found her sea legs. Best wishes and happy sailing from everyone at Live Paws.

Marrow has found his forever home. Originally going to Italy, it appears his foster carers have fallen in love with him. Great News, best wishes Marrow from all at Live Paws.
